Lovely Friday Morning

[thistlechaser]

I had a real scone for breakfast (mmm), and while eating it I read three intelligent essays by millefiori:

An analyst of Dumbledore.

Is (canon) Snape really ugly?

Is there any chance of real/canon Harry/Draco?

I've not been in very many fandoms, but Harry Potter is the first one I've been in that has such smart fans. I love how we can have intelligent, mature conversations about characters and storyline details. I love how even after being in the fandom for a half-year I can still discover wonderful new fans with interesting ideas. And, though I do little writing myself, I take pride in how other fan authors are so much better than the creator of our source material; we've improved on JKR's ideas, we've explained and covered or rewritten plot holes, we've taken one-dimensional characters and turned them into full, believable, real, complex "people".

I'm so proud to be part of this fandom.

Oh, yeah, thanks a lot!

No, seriously, we here on the Pokemon MUSH *really* appreciate that. ;)

*laughs* Need I point you at the tons and tons of logs we have of bad guests? There are some smart Pokemon fans, but the vast majority of them are worthless little, ill-typing trolls. :)

Dude, now you're calling me a worthless little ill-typing troll?

I don't think I'm I'm going to talk to you anymore.

That's okay! I'm sure I can find other uses for that pretty little mouth of yours...

Heh heh heh.
