The author was shooting for “nebulous,” something “poetic.”

Well, sometimes we hit the bullseye and sometimes we blow out other people's brains, eh?

I think us fans have blown her ego a tad too much if she thinks the epilogue was actually...even remotely good.

Not that I blame her. :hmm:

But at least with this interview we know that Luna is a naturalist and it proves that the trio did more than just breed.

"Completely revolutionize M.O.M.?"

So now the government and wizarding society is a complete utopia now? That's even worse.

Excuse me while I revel in AS/S. It's the only thing keeping my sanity.

What sanity?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I, personally, don't always want a sad, (totally) realistic ending. Sometimes the fairy-tale ending is enjoyable.

So?

Most of my ships aren't realistic but they haven't been canonized for the sake of 'fiction.'

Don't get me wrong, I like realism sometimes as well. (Ptolemy's Gate being a good example.) But every once in a million (well, slightly less) I'd like an almost perfect ending.

Never perfect.

And not everyone's ships can win.

Well...if they actually came true they'd be ruined, so bleh.

I was just starting to get over the shock of OBHWF...but please no Ministry revolutionizing. :sick:

I never think Luna will be completely and totally sane.

Yes, I forgot you shipped fanon only. Almost.
