There is no hijacking here; I like it when people talk about whatever they want to!
I enjoy Fred and George's subversiveness but yes, they do get pulled up on their bullying behaviour in fandom a lot, and probably quite rightly. I like their prattishness, though, it appeals to me :D
JKR had her moments, I will say that, especially since she despairs so much about the supposedly 'bad' characters and the moments that define them or make them shine in my opinion. I tend to think those are her best work. *shrugs*
I'm with you on this one. I'm not seriously trying to compare us as fic writers to JKR herself, but I guess we all value different things about our own writing and it may not be what another person values or admires about it.
