Great! Cause given half a chance, I will chat your ear off. *g*
F&G's funness is why I like them, but yes, I like that they get a comeuppance in FF, too. JKR doesn't hold any of her "good" characters accountable. Well, I suppose she does by killing them all off, but still you understand my meaning. The 'bad' ones suffer and bear the label of evil when the good ones walk the line, cross it most times, even, and wear halos throughout.
I'm not seriously trying to compare us as fic writers to JKR herself,
That's the thing though, every fan fic writer has the potential to be JKR, IMNSHO. I know some that completely blow her out of the water, even, because they have a better understanding of characterization, plot and world building.
While FF'ers may be playing in someone else's world, they are building skills of their own, some even better and stronger than JKR's. She started at the bottom, too, and it was sheer dumb luck, to steal a phrase, that she was discovered and made it. I think if someone had been as hard on her as our FF betas can be on us, then she wouldn't have some of the world building problems she did. *shrugs*
