I started reading Harry Potter fanfiction and found many versions of the  tale which  I liked  better than  the  original.  I believe  it's  because  Harry  is a stronger  person  in  these  than  in the  original and I don't feel  so frustrated  with him.  I find  the stories  in which he takes  control of his  life  very  satisfying .  I think other  readers may feel the same as so many of us find so much of our lives out of our control and it's  a feel good moment when Harry trumps those who have taken his choices from him .  Severus Snape also seems ,along with Dumbledore, to be a very polarizing character. I realized that when I read the books, i was more or less indifferent toward the character, but Alan Rickman's portrayal made me like the character and I prefer that he is good in the story, but I will  read stories where he is not.

I prefer reading to writing but maybe someday I'll give it a try.  I prefer TOS Star Trek or reboot and I hate when I find a good story, bookmark it and my bookmark takes me someplace that my bookmarks seem addicted to and it ain't my story.  I've written comments on stories but they don't seem to print in the comment/review section .  I am technologically challenged (I don't do well with computerized cash registers either and I haven't figured out how to put people's phone number in my cell phone either).  That's why I prefer to read, if I can find my story. (sigh!) So everyone please keep writing.  Thanks.
