I was looking around ff.net for nothing in particular. I found a particular reviewer of mine from my long-ignored-but-certainly-not-dead-yet fic "The Wolf Pack." She's an H/Hr shipper and was venting on her profile about the Interview at TLC and MN and was, well...a tad upset:
Now, I can maybe understand her being upset (although I think, or at least hope, that I wouldn't get so worked up over fictional romances) but is declaring your own work "canon" just a little bit...dare I say it...delusional? Or at least just a little bit disrespectful to the author of the original works?
Ah, the wankage. It makes me look at the human race and say: "This is why there are directions on shampoo bottles."
Gah. It's late. I'm drinking a Coke for the first time in awhile. How does my dad handle this stuff? It's like malted battery acid.
"Well, forget it. Forget author intent. Forget "anvil-sized" clues. Forget canon. Forget JKR/Emerson/Melissa Bashfest 2005. Everything after Book 5 is rubbish in the garbage can. "Harry Potter and the Bonds of Hearts" [her own fic] is canon from now on. No one is "delusional". No one is "militant". We are just LOUD and PROUD H/Hr shippers."
