ship_manifesto, but the Harry Potter pairings are boggling me, frankly. Oliver Wood/Marcus Flint? Argus Filch/Severus Snape? Pansy Parkinson/Theodore Nott? Remus/Tonks, fercryingoutloud?
I can understand writing one of those pairings for a challenge, but writing an essay to explain why they are your OTP is something else again. Apart from Snape and Remus, these characters seem utterly faceless to me - spear carriers, plot components, people to populate Harry's universe. Why would you leap from "The part that stumped me most in writing this essay is that we know very little about these two characters" to "It's passion, pure and simple"? I think I am having an imagination failure, here.
