Hee--I know. It's so nice when the actual HP characters show up--I'm more able to sink into the fic--and they're such fun. It's not that even the "good" characters aren't flawed and have comic potential from pointing that up--that's a lot of the fun of fanfic actually--what I loved in the first fanfics in HP I read was considering for the first time a Slytherin POV and some not-so-sympathetic takes on how Dumbledore say used people or how Harry did do things that were--well insane. Or how the Marauders are thugs (and don't ask me to have sympathy for them the best thing I can do is just not write them into a fic because I know I can't be fair to Sirius or James--maybe not even Lupin. Don't ask me too.)
But some fics--even some reviews. I recently caught a review lambasting Hermione for still being with the Mo-Ron and threatening the author to bail if they didn't break them up NOW.
Those reviews were actually what touched the rant off. The level of bashing just makes me like the characters more because I have never met anyone that stupid/malicious/pathetic who didn't have a reason for it. And when it's a basically sympathetic character in the books, it's even more ridiculous.
Not to mention... what does it say about Hermione when she dates/marries that incarnation of Ron. Bitch, please.
