* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMotherWhoLived'': In one of the most combative fandoms ever, you better believe that people are already taking shots on what ship harry or hermione should have. What's interesting about the fic is that the author isn't afraid to throw some unusual ships into the mix for people to see too, though this then just brings out more feelings as the new ships then conflict with old favorites.

This actually culminates in [[spoiler:a near-riot when the Games organisers don’t immediately announce that the contest is over or that the new rule is invalid after Peeta’s death as the ‘fans’ resent the implication that neither of their ‘ships’ were ever going to be allowed to win]].
