Nov. 28th, 2003 01:39 pmI was interested to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
camillabloom's comments about Blaise Zabini's amazing variable gender. Since I have addressed this problem in the latest instalment of the Mattress (Mattress 4 - in need of turning - up now at FA Ridd) I thought I'd put this snippet here so you can see what Blaise thinks about it all:

Frankly, writing Draco is a pain! I can't get into the unco-operative little so and so's brain at all. In fact I don't even have any idea of his sexual preferences (other than "yes, please"). Gay!Draco is such a cliche that I don't really feel inclined to add to it. Plus it has been done superlatively well and I'm far too scared to compete with that. Het!Draco more or less demands a certain level of Ginnyness that I don't really feel capable of addressing without a sick bag. There are some very good D/G fics out there but I know my limitations and I could NOT write one. It's not that I dislike the girl but as a suitable mate for a Malfoy in my Potterverse I'm afraid she's just not up to snuff. Het!Draco with OFC - no, the shrieks of Mary Sue would echo off the hills! But can I get away with just writing him as he is at present - uncommitted. Cas gets away with it in her Sirius and Remus fics - in fact they are so self contained that I can't imagine either of them in the throes of passion - but I just don't write like that.
Shall we have a poll?
Hands up for Draco - gay, het, bi, too busy to care, devoted to Flossie the sheep. (That last was a joke BTW - I also couldn't write a good fic about the love that dare not bleat its name.)
