leia131Ron/ Hermione fanfiction writers of the world, take note. If Ron ever, EVER, called Hermione "Mione," she would hex him blind, deaf, and impotent (once she got done laughing). No, really. Her name is Hermione. Ron calls her Hermione. Please to be writing it that way.
Don't you remember Ron's hatred for nicknames? Lav-Lav? Won-Won? And Hermione's unaffected scorn for "Hermy?" Yes, Hermione is a long name, but Hermione is a fantastic, intelligent, and complex woman. She's worthy of a long name. Her name is kind of a canon in-joke (Herm-oh-ninny). Respect Hermione. Call her Hermione. It's not that hard.
P.S. The same goes for "Siri" and "Remy" (which is the name of my cat, but that's another story entirely, and completely unconnected to Harry Potter, oddly enough.) I'll admit that when I first got into fanfiction, I thought those names were cute. I was wrong. They're not. Try and keep that in mind. The boys have nicknames. They are Moony and Padfoot. (And I'm ok with "Pads.") Really, that should be enough for you.
P.P.S. It's 4:30am and I'm still awake. I haven't stayed up reading fanfic this late in ages. It feels good... Nostalgic.
