I do think you're right, Keryl, that the fanfiction depends on where you find it. fanfiction.net, you have to wade through a lot of drivel to get to the good stuff. Livejournal, you still have to do some wading, but it's a lot more... exclusive, I suppose, in that there are so many different fanfic communities so the interests and writing styles are more... specialized, for lack of a better word. |
Oh, lord, I had the same look. I found a leaked copy of DH showing the epilogue and I was sure it was a hoax. The end was bad fan fiction, there was no way that's how the story really ended.
Then I got my copy, turned to the end, and felt my heart shrivel.
