MAJOR KUDOS towards this rant. it was amazing. i could not have put it better myself. i can't stand that (a) lily apparently has no friends that are guys, (b) lily's friends and james' friends magically fall in love with each other, and (c) everyone at hogwarts who belongs in the "lily clique" is always perfect looking. agh!!! great rant!

^_^ Im glad you liked this rant. That link from Sarah's post just annoyed me and I felt like I had to rant about it. Will you be making a post at 7thyeartrain in the future? I liked what you had to say about this and would be interested in your thoughts on other cliches :)

To be sure, this is a very late comment on such a lovely rant. But, I have an excuse: I have only just discovered this lovely exhibition of literary talent.
At any rate, I feel the need to point out that I'm absolutely mortified by these types of fics, especially as their titles all start to sound like bad punk rock bands to me: The Vixens, The Maraudettes, The Pythons, The Flowers, The Sirens, The BadArseNoOneCanTellUsWhatToDoBeautiesOfTheSchool...etc.
I'm greatly saddened by the lack of creativity, general common sense, and decency these absurd little (as mentioned above) eleven+ fic-ettes (Ooer, wouldn't that be a name they'd enjoy?) seem to display on an alarmingly regular basis.
I'm all for an army of educated authors armed with rusty knitting needles and sharp tongues! March on, oh brave soldiers of World Wide Web fic writing, march on!

I loved this rant. Every point in it was so valid. If it weren't for the back button I would be dead from the sight of this horrendous codswallop. I remember that story from about a year ago...I was transfixed in horror...I wanted to stop...I knew it would kill me...but some force in me had to keep reading, even though I knew it would kill me...luckily my parents intervened with the turning of of the wireless internet...

Do you think we could sue (no pun intended) the authors of this mind-numbing rubbish for killing of braincells? I mean, you can get thousands of pounds for damage to you leg...don't know about you but I feel my brain is a lot more valuable than my leg...

Thanks again for the great rant
