some time to develop Ginny in the canon -- I do like her character.>

It's been bugging me recently the way Ginny gets portrayed in fanfiction -
Hermione's becoming too feisty, Ginny is becoming a shy, blushing little
thing. I'm rereading CoS at the moment, and in Chapter Three (the Burrow),
Ron clearly says that Ginny 'never shuts up normally', and from what we see
of her in PS and also after CoS, she definitely has a personality - maybe
she's a little less rambunctious than her brothers, but she's got a sense of
humor and does stand up for herself - and she sounds like a Weasley, if you
look at the way she talks.

Come to think of it, I don't recall ever seeing a teenage Ginny who wasn't
either incredibly shy or had a life which revolved around Harry. And how
come I keep reading fics where she grows up to be a fashion designer? It was
okay when Lori did it, but it's gotten reeeeeeaaaally old...
