daily_snitch about the abundance of smut in HP fandom, and now I have to wonder if people actually want to read long and plot oriented fics in this fandom?
I've read a few longer series, but usually HP fics I've stumbled upon are 50k to 200k. Anything over 500k is a rare saga. Does anyone actually have the patience to read a slash fanfic that's longer than any of the HP books? have I just been wasting my time?
Also, everyone seems to be all yay about sad endings. Harry has to die to kill Voldemort. Snape has to kill Harry. There's either uberangst or then the ending is so smarmy I want to puke. What the heck is going on?
*feels old*
