I find that facebook group hilarious more than anything, particularly because I found it whilst searching for UR's group.
It would be nice, I think, if some of that inspiration would manifest itself in the from of original fiction for once -- but then I haven't written that in several years and something is better than nothing, I guess. Plus it is a sad but true fact that fanfiction has totally contributed to any amount of writing talent I might have now, lol.
I agree. I don't think HP is neccessarily the best work of literature ever written and I think anyone who says it is ... probably ought to read more, but I think I'll always adore it, even if when I am 80 they've become 2070's equivalent of The Hardy Boys and my hypothetical grandkids cannot fathom why on earth I would ever, ever have waited in line at midnight to get a copy of the 7th one. I haven't reread any of them since I did my Massive Harry Potter Re-Read up to and including DH, but I'm pretty certain the spines are going to be well worn in a few years' time.
