...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?
Technically, I should not be recommending this because the author has taken her fics off the internet and everything, but have you read Maya's fics? I think her characterisation of Pansy tends to be quite good: she's definitely bitchy, but she's also very likable and even sometimes incredibly touching.
And yes, on the whole I agree with what you say about JK Rowling's double standards and worship of motherhood. Mind you it's part of the charm of the books that they have billions of fascinating ideas, but are a bit rough around the edges: Rowling's morals are about as consistent as her timetables or the gallon rate (or the number of Hogwarts students compared with the number of the whole population, etc)
