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.

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!
