Err... mild spoilers... but I don't know how to make an LJ cut. Anyway, not many HP fans are reading my LJ, and these spoilers aren't exactly big, IMO. Still... spoilerspace, I suppose

Pssst...Am currently expected to do something serious, but since I've read the FAQ recently I can tell you how to cut the entry.Use these: lj-cut text="Text of the link here" /lj-cut and put them into <> like all html.(If I had, they wouldn't be displayed, here).Off to work again now quicklike...^_^
I've read the 'waaaah, how could JKR do that to the Marauders, they were so OOC, how could they grow up to be the people we know if they were like THAT in school?!?' litany several times now and am getting annoyed. Nice to see another former mobbing victim weigh in on the matter. I daresay the two of us have some authority to speak about this

I like some of the HP fanfic, but it's the books I fell in love with, which already makes a difference. More on Sirius and death in my reply to your other entry.
Now what fanfic I've read does certainly flesh out Snape (you know my preferences ), but still, even if JKR had killed good old Severus off instead of Sirius - while I would grumble about wasted potential, I wouldn't stop loving the books. I don't think I ever loved a book, or a TV show, just for one (or two) characters alone.
Liking a book or series for one character...hmpfJune 23 2003, 04:32:49 UTC
Well, it's happened to me once before - with Highlander. Well, and another time, sort of, with Hellsing, but not quite as extremely. It's not that I don't like the books - I just don't obsess about them. And I probably wouldn't be obsessing about Sirius if I hadn't read all that fan fiction about him, either. In a few short weeks, Sirius has made it into the top list of characters I'm obsessing about, right alongside Methos, Frodo, John Crichton - it's a very exclusive club! Some of my favourite characters die in 'The Borribles', as well, but that wasn't nearly as bad as this, although I liked the Borribles books better than HP, all things considered. So, I won't stop *liking* the HP books, but the thing I loved most about them is gone.

All this being said, I'm still impressed JKR had the guts to present MWPP in a way she had previously reserved for Slytherins.
