Well, here is a bunch of rants about 1D fic by someone who likes reading it. Be forwarned that it is language heavy.

I tend to notice that this author doesn't exactly put a lot of realism into real life. There's always going to be issues in one's life, no matter what. Life isn't going to be happy all the time. I feel that this one is ignoring that and as such the lives of these characters rings rather false in each case. Even if you're married to the man of your dreams, this alone will not ensure the fluff train from coming through and making things easy for you.

Ginny's character is rather off in this one. I can't put my finger on just why I feel she is a little off... but I will continue reading until I get a clearer picture.

Does this help?

Ginny: (Giggle) I'm having a baby!
Hermione: (Giggle) That is so great!
Ginny: (Giggle) Oh, I loved at my wedding how all of the pictures were displayed. What are you going to do at your wedding!
Hermione: (Giggle) Oh Ginny, I couldn't possibly top your wedding!

If it doesn't... Ginny is constantly happy in this and never sad. I think that would make any character off because people aren't always happy and worry free. Fluff train is a good word for that. Perhaps Pottersues needs a "fluff train" tag.

Lol, too much happiness is making these characters out of character!

Here's the thing about weddings. If it is yours, you know for absolute certain that it will top any other wedding. Since when did weddings become a sport that had to be won?

Fluff train has now become a thing in my writing world! It will be a mixture of too much fluff and unrealistic life stories.

I don't know if anybody else has noticed the lack of conflict in this one... It's like they are too happy to notice that real life isn't like that under normal circumstances.

Each girl has their own perfect wedding truth be told. I threw that one in there because there is this aura about this one about how things can't get any better and nothing will grow wrong. The grow was a typo, but I left it because it felt more accurate then go wrong 'cause there is no growth in the story what so ever.

Ginny loves Harry, and always has... the books make that clear. But she doesn't strike me as the type of girl who'd daydream about her perfect wedding day and "deep eternal love". I think that's why her characterisation seems a little off. In the books (well, from the 5th book onwards, anyway) Ginny seemed quite the independent, practical sort.She doesn't strike me as the type who'd want to be "Mrs Harry James Potter". She'd want to be her own "Ginny Potter"!
