The sound of silence

I'm not gonna lie. I'm kind of numb and considering not finishing that last chapter. It seems we've been debunked. Completely and thoroughly by the mistress of the canon herself. R/S shippers can argue, invent, and equivocate all we want, but we are NOT canon. I mean, not that we ever were, I suppose. It just feels so tacky. The Entire Tonks storyline felt pasted on to the plot in a final and contrived attempt to shut us all up.

Well, Jo. It worked. I think you may have lost this fan for good. Haven't yet decided.

It was great fun while it lasted, though, eh?

I tip my hat to all the R/T folk out there. I won't be joining you... ever, but I do hope that you don't gloat too loudly. Or else I'll just have to not be around to read it.

Actually, I think I may retire from the fandom for a bit. At least to catch my creative breath, as it were.

Then, I've also been known to say I'll never drink alcohol again after a particularly rough night. It all comes to nothing in the end.

*takes a bow*


ETA: I finally forced myself to read those last few pages. If you haven't... Tonks is very clearly... er... satisfied.

Oh well. I think that after venting I'm definitely taking a two week break from this fandom. I'll go, read other fics from fandoms past, maybe explore a few new ones. I don't want to hear any crowing from the anti-R/S side or even any squeeing about how cute Remus and Tonks are together (though I don't think that there's anything wrong with that either. I'm happy for the R/T fans, really. As long as they don't gloat or rub anything in my face, I have no issue with them. We have very, very different tastes in pairings but I'm not so arrogant as to say that my taste is good and theirs is bad).

Good on you, mate. :) Really.

And I agree heartily that the Finding-Someone-to-Love-will-make-all-your-problems-go-away is the wrong message to send to all the single girls out there. It's unfortunate that JK didn't think that through.

Luckily Ginny didn't fall down and beg Harry to take her back. That would've been the last straw.
