Decided to make a list of fandom opinions I have that I think are rather different from a lot of people's. *Shrugs* Feel free to do the same if you want; its based on the canon opinions meme that was going around. And you can disagree as well, though this is not meant to start a heavy debate.

1. I think the entire OC hate thing is dumb; If someone wants to write about a girl who is part LOTR-type Elf? Fine with me; I know someone who has written about a girl who is something like that, and it's bloody brilliant. Want to give an OC violet eyes? More power to you. An OC had a hard life? That makes the fic even more realistic.

2. I don't mind people who write pairings I don't think will happen in canon, as I write some of them, though I do mind it when people get mad that JKR won't write them.

3. I actually consider Hagrid a favorite character, sort of understand why Cho did what she did, and feel sorry for Dumbledore.

4. I think songfics can be brilliant.

5. I think the content of a fanfic is more important than grade-A spelling and grammar.

Sorry, just needed to let that out. :) I have nothing agianst those of you who disagree, though - those are just opinions I wanted to share.
