If this is the case, then you shouldn't really be complaining.  Folks into
HP fanfic know there's a *shitload* of badfic out there.  I wish there was
a better categorization of good, moderate, bearable, and godawful fanfics.


> It is all about choice.

Your words.  Also, there's the choice to stop reading what you're not
interested in.

I guess you're one who'd advocate warnings/spoilers about Sirius dying in
OOTP then?  Some folks may not be into reading deathfics [about Sirius]. 
Not to forget other character deaths too.  Shame on JKR for not warning
readers there was going to be a sacrificial graveyard murder in GOF. 
Shame on JKR and her distributors for not making that public knowledge in
the synop/blurb!

I enjoy the magical aspects of wonderment and a bit of mystery.  If I'm
feeling depressed, I don't want to end up reading a book that isn't mostly
hopeful by the end.

What makes it worse... folks *pay* to read JKR's books and they don't
provide sufficient story descriptions.  Damn her and her lack of warnings!
