First off, I admit: I liked the first book. I tried to read the rest, and stopped halfway through the second. I just couldn't enjoy it anymore; it was too uneven and I don't have a mad keen passion for Draco Malfoy (and I consider it a great tribute to Tom Felton that I still don't like Draco, despite loving almost every other role he's done).
Then I watched Buffy and got why so many people were dissing the Draco Trilogy, and stopped following it at all.
So I'm one of the sheep she duped who then wised up. I hate what she did, but I won't deny that before I knew better, I sincerely thought it was a really great work.
See, I'm a pop culture whore. So I'd been watching Buffy since it started and I've known lines from Red Dwarf back to front since age fifteen. I caught all the references, so I wasn't fooled for a minute.
My sympathies, though. I know how awful it feels to be fooled.
