- On June 8, 2001, Heidi made a post on the hpslash list which was perceived as an attempt to get slashers to join another mailing list to defend Cassandra Claire's slash writing. [3] The text of this e-mail is:
- re: OT: COMPLETLEY OUTRAGED!!!
- Punker wrote about Eliza's fanfic site:
- I am only posting this because all these things are on a public
- message board - (first, a note - Eliza is 14ish, and I don't even
- think she's online much these days because she's dealing with final
- exams, but...still....)
- Eliza has never made any secret that she is an anti-slash person -
- back around New Year's there was a long discussion on HP_Fanfiction
- about slash - people like Al, Rhysenn, Cassie, Minx and others chimed
- in on this issue, and Eliza eventually posted in response to this
- post from cassie:
- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_FanFiction/message/570
- Cassie ponders about where to fit a / into DS.* My favorite pairing
- after Harry/Draco (which I really can't make work) is Remus/Sirius,
- and Sirius needs to marry Narcissa so H&D can stay related, and
- anyway, Remus has been turned, possibly permanently, into a big wolf.
- That leaves Ron, I guess, available for.....um.....well, we'll see.
- grins* The Ron/Draco knife-throwing scene I believe started out as a
- response to the Teenage Witches who asked for a scene with Ron and
- Draco where Draco starts taking off his clothes. They tend to ask for
- peculiar things, but then they are peculiar people. ;) (she also
- mentions Lucius-redemption in that post - it's an interesting little
- bit of history!)
- Eliza's response follows:

- Lucius M.
- >*Cassie ponders about where to fit a / into DS.
- Oh, please, Cassandra, don't do it. Trust me on this; you may think slash is
- perfectly accepted my most people, but, call me close-minded, I don't really
- care, I believe it's wrong. I'm not going to start preaching at you, and so
- far during this entire discussion I've stayed quiet about this, but if you
- add a slash, I'm going to stop reading DS, and take the story off my site.
- That's not a threat... I'm not trying to scare you into not thinking about
- it. Don't get me wrong, you can write what you like... but, even when the
- story is good, I have a very hard time getting myself to put it up. Thats
- one of the reasons you will NEVER find PoU on my site, not because I think
- its not a good story, but because of the ratings. Basically, if you add
- slash, you're going to offend a lot of people, including me.
- -Eliza, who is wondering how many people are going to start yelling at her
- for this.
- You can read a lot more on the thread by joining at
- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_FanFiction/ if you want a little
- historical perspective on it. Believe me, flaming Eliza will get you
- nowhere. She thinks what she thinks - and at the moment, she's not
- changing it. Grr. However, DS is still up there, despite, well,
- hintiness in some of the more recent chapters of a ben/gareth thing.
- Oh well!
- The view at the time, on the hpslash (mailing list) mailing list, was that Heidi was trying to get people to rally to Cassandra Claire's defense and create a flame war between the slash and het contingents.
