Why is the author's or the majority's viewpoint anymore valid than anyone else?
I love this because it's so true. One of my friends loathed Seinfeld during its heyday -- didn't like the humor and never watched it. Everytime she would bring that up, people would look at her like she sprouted a third eye or something.
Sometimes I think if we weren't in the fandom, we wouldn't be nearly as irritated by characters.
Yes!!! The more fans try to convince me to like Sirius the more I hate him. It's actually starting to turn me off of reading RL/SB slash and I used to like that pairing. Although, alternatively Ron fans have worn me down. I finished GoF with a strong dislike of Ron and my feeling didn't improve much with OotP. Now, I've changed my mind. So who knows. Maybe I'm just confusing Ron for Rupurt Grint; )
