Just don't be snarkily critical of The Fic where the poor author gets to see you being cruel. Honor the intent that it was posted with, i. e. most bad authors meant to write something good and fun and did so to the best of a limited ability. Much better to praise to the skies the stuff that is brilliant.
The lady, she is wise and kind. The poor darlings need somewhere to practice, and stomping on their heads doesn't serve any good purpose.

I would never ever stomp on anyone's head.
Unless they tried to take my DR from me.
Then, I'd have to cut a bitch.
So. That Deathly Hallows book. Great read!

I still think about writing an HP fanfic that goes into the European Wizarding world during the WWII/Grindelwald era. Problem is, what I've got in mind features a Polish Jewish wizard who ends up in the Warsaw ghetto and gets more into Holocaust fic, which I think might be a bit presumptuous on my part as well as with loads of potential of me completely fucking it up. Dumbledore and Grindelwald only show up at the end of the fic as I have envisioned it, so DH doesn't joss it completely.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've been working on one set slightly after that era. (My working theory is that Eileen Prince's father was a low-level supporter of Grindelwald. I've got like a page written so far -- it's been kind of brewing in my mind for a week or so, but last night I finally sat down and started writing.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Fascinating concept, though, Kathy!
(I'd be interested to see something in the HP Wizarding World that incorporated the Prague Golem, myself.)

I had an idea for a fic involving Draco getting married--before DH came out--but I'm clinging to the shoreline trying not to get involved.
