JKR? created a brilliant universe, and then didn't do anything to it. Exactly. It's because she isn't that great a writer. I kind of wish she'd given the idea to someone else. Like, a co-writer or something. Or at least I wish somebody had thought to rigorously edit the crap out of her later books. Books about boy-wizards should not be that long! Half the stuff was boring and inconsequential, like she just wanted to tell us all as much as she could about the world in her head - but there's no revelance and it's just stupid and long.

ps- send over some recs of good panic!fic??) All the panic! stuff I've read is here (http://del.icio.us/houseofpants/panic!). It's all so adorable.
