Dear Shippers:

You know, it was never going to be your book. It was never going to be our book. No matter how much JKR allowed us to play in her sandbox, ultimately, all the toys were always hers. They belonged to her, their fates and all. Her planning of the books had absolutely nothing to do with us, and to this day, does not. When thinking about her characters (should I emphasize the "her" again?) she only thought of what she considered to be right. And she never waivered. The books were never going to be Harry/Hermione because that is not what she had intended. In her romance, there were no red herrings - it was loud and clear from the get-go. You did not like where it was headed, so you made up something else, and that is absolutely fine and your prerogative. But it was never going to actually happen. Hey! I hated Remus/Tonks when it first surfaced! I'm a die-hard R/S shipper, and will most likely remain such till my dying day! But you know what?

I have never ONCE felt the need to threaten JK Rowling with bodily harm or take out an ad in The New York Friggin' Times in order to show how upset I was at a pairing.

I can get over it; so can you.

Get the fuck over it. She is not the anti-Christ, she is a writer. To some that may mean she IS the anti-Christ, but surely, you, who have found so many hours and days and weeks and months and years of pleasure from her books, would never think that just because things didn't go your way.

This time, things did not go your fucking way.

You feel insulted? Belittled? Humiliated? You know what?

Grow a backbone; get the fuck over it; grow up. It's a book. It's her book. They are her characters. Criticize the writing if you must; rue the romance; but please get a fucking sense of humor. This is ridiculous. If you're over the age of 14 and throwing tantrums over a SHIPPING WAR, there is something seriously wrong, and you need to reexamine your priorities. Belittle those who like R/Hr, call them bastards, whatever - but don't drag J.K. Rowling into it. That's just plain childish, immature and yeah, disgusting. Don't you feel grossed out by the entire display at all?

Guess not. But please heed some of the advice doled out to you by many.

Oh, and yeah - Get. The fuck. Over it.

Thank you,
Mrs. WonWon Weasley
