Guide to Sugar Quill
1. Yes, we are canon obsessed, and yes, we freely admit to being a bit opinionated on that time to time. There are brilliant sites wherein canon and fanon can be tossed together like a caesar salad; SQ isn't one of them.
2. Maybe the latter is annoying, but it's just as annoying for those of us who can't find a fic archive - other than SQ - that doesn't have more Draco porn and evilistehsexay fics than fics that I actually recognize as close to canon. We have a right to be canon based.
3. Would you go to a book club meeting and ask why they don't discuss movies?

Well, it's utterly ridiculous. JKR herself said so (http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/rumours_view.cfm?id=2), albeit in a somewhat cryptic manner. But that's par for the course for her. :)

Do you go by the same name over at SQ? I recall you saying somewhere here or on JF that you've been a Quiller, but I don't recall anyone with a screenname like yours over there...although then again, I'm fairly new (November 2005) and am not on there all the time anymore now that LJ
and F_W and hp_cornfield and...have taken over my life.no subject
I'm Miss E Bennett on the Quill (ages ago, before the standardization of author names and screen names, I was *gulps* Iamthehermionegir1), but I have 300 posts over four or five years and haven't been there in a long while, so you're unlikely to see me.

I agree that the Molly vs. Sirius wank tends to be a bit easier to deal with because Molly and Sirius are not as diametrically opposed as Snape and Sirius. That's why I don't mind it as much.
Hmm, yeah, I don't think I've seen you at SQ. Are you on the SQ87 by any chance?

Of course, this is the same argument I make to the Harmonians about why they shouldn't waste their breath arguing that H/Hr just might be canon after all. Just enjoy the fanon and be happy, man.

And glad you liked my last point!

Erm. I'm going to assume I know what you are talking about and realise that I forgot to mention who I was which was really infinitely stupid.
