would someone please explain to my brain

[dragonlady7]

Would someone kindly, please explain to my utterly ridiculous brain that writing a new epic fic, of Harry Potter fanfic, only set in America, and not using any of Rowling's characters, and getting rid of the more eggregiously poorly-considered aspects of her magic, and dealing with entirely different themes, would be missing the point of fanfic?

I've had this urge on and off ever since OOTP, I just thought now might be the time to express my frustration with it.


Edit: my brain wishes it known that it thinks the rest of me is just disgruntled now that I've figured out I'm more likely to have been a Hufflepuff than a Gryffindor. I'm sure no Ravenclaw.

I am also furiously resisting the urge to sort my roller derby league's teams into Houses. Jesus, I shouldn't've reread all the books.

She was a Potter fan at heart, it's clear.
She searched and found a Potter hair.
SHE SPENT TEN LONG YEARS AND BUILT A CLONING MACHINE!
And now she's accomplished her wonderful dream:
It's a house of Potters.
A house of Potters.

I think this is something that only you could write, m'dear.

Write the thing; it's the only sure way to get the urge out of your system. You don't have to post it, after all!

*sigh* So many plotbunnies, so little time.
