I think I just don't "get" Fanfiction myself, especially the ones which take the characters are create a whole new story. Why not just, I don't know, write your own? Do you really need to have Harry Potter in your space opera about aliens? Just change the name or something.

People like writing stories + people are bad at making interesting characters + there's an abundance of interesting characters in existing works.

Why is it called Dante's Inferno instead of The Divine Comedy?

Because Inferno is the first volume, there's also Purgatorio and Paradiso.

The book collections are kind of hilarious to look at, because you've got three kinda thin novels, one that seems about "normal" width, and then three goddamn doorstoppers. Come to think of it, I should read those again. I haven't read the last two since they were released.

The 6th book is actually really interesting if you like Voldemort backstory. It's probably the most changed when it went to film too.

Also it's shorter than the 4th book actually. The 5th book is by far the longest.

It took me a minute to really understand what that is, but my reactions are A) That's really dumb and B) why do I care if a simulated version of me is tortured.
