...to all fanfic authors in my f-list. How often do you get new reviews for fanfics that have been up for a while? Apart, I mean, from wholly new work?
I wrote three parts of a fic called Neville's War (written pre-DH) which, I think, make some of my same points about Pansy in fic form.
(I'm also one of those who maintains that interview canon is not canon, and one can still claim to be a canon fan and ship Draco/Pansy right through the end of DH. Astoria is never named in canon.)
I found your views very interesting, except - sorry, canon is whatever JKR says it is. For instance, while I am quite displeased by her view of Dumbledore as a homosexual, I will from henceforth respect it. (What displeases me is not so much the homosexuality as such, as the way she describes and explains it. She may not realize it - and the twits who are always after some sort of gayness certificate for everything certainly do not realize it - but her depiction is deeply prejudiced against male homosexuals, in the worst Victorian manner. Nonetheless, I regard it as canon.)
