timepiececlock: (the scientist)
Ron likes Hermione, who has a crush (that she doesn't expect to go anywhere) on Harry, who is trying to convince himself that he's not stalking Luna, who used to like Ron but now might (if their sun signs match up and if he also hates cauliflower) like Harry, who is still being crushed on by Ginny, who is feeling kinda funny around Neville these days, who thinks Ginny is getting scary these days, who Redeemed!Draco asked out as a condolence for his pride when he couldn't convince Hermione his intentions were pure and fuelled by twu wuv.

So I was arguing in the Harry/Ginny versus Harry/Luna debate thread at fictionalley.org, and complaining about Ginny's lack of character development as one of the reasons I don't ship her with Harry. I said basically that she has no defining personality, not like the other characters in the books do.

Anyway, someone said this in response:

"I guess you don't have a strong opinion of JKR's abilities, Rashaka. She's been developed in great detail."

I started laughing out loud at my computer, despite my recent sicknesss/couging today. I couldn't help it. I wanted really badly to retort "No, point of fact I don't, but you don't want to get me started on that, and I don't think it's part of the Ginny developement issue anyway."

I'm not going to say it though. Because they'd jump on me if I said "You know, I enjoy the books too, but face reality folks she still only a mediocre beginner writer."

Definitely, definitely not going to say that.

It occurs to me that for HP fandom I'm the equivalent of the people who watched every season 7 Buffy episode even though they hated it, and spent all their time bitching about the glory days and fighting over ships/characters "gone astray" and how quality was lost... except without the glory days part.

Am I the only person in HP fandom who likes the characters and storyline and mildly enjoys the books, but who doesn't praise JKRowling to the point of Josshood? Because I really, really don't. In fact, the idea makes me giggle with disbelief.

This is strange.

I went to change some of my links, and the option has been removed since I lost my paid account.

However, I still have all my links. I can't figure it out, but that's ok. Gift horses, and all that.
