[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: "Tainting the canon"

[yael-pou]

After reading my first story, my husband had used very obscene words, which were mainly directed at me. He said that now, everything in that story got mixed up in his head with the canon. Not just the characters, but events and the ides as well. For him, three-league boots *were* used to get to King's Cross <BG>.

That was a fifth-year story. Then, I started writing a sixth-year soap opera that has almost nothing to do with the canon.

Apparently, my husband's not the only one who prefers non-canon stories. That second story got much more attention. I guess that either people feel the same way as he does, or they just say "Oh, she's not JKR, and I hate cheap imitations. However, her own story-line is okay by me." Either that, or people just like soap :).

And Cassie - People are going to get very upset if you stop writing several months before OoP comes out.

Thanks, yael
