me, since they have no independent existence of their own, being
parasitic  constructs. The theories exist solely through and because
of the Harry Potter of J.K.Rowling.<

Pippin:

In the immortal words of Mundungus Fletcher, "that'd come off." Of
course there's a lot more to original fiction than a plot twist. But
if you are really into  the idea that an insane couple has something
to communicate, or the problems of a  part-vampire attempting
to pass as human, or  the relationship between  one kid who's the 
neighborhood's  favorite punching bag and  another kid who's a hero
 -- well, those could all be short stories or even novels in their
own right if you had the patience. Last I looked, all those situations
were in the public domain.
