Also, I hear you on plotting for a thing and then it suddenly becomes A Thing™. Consistency in general is so much work. Don't mind me, I'll be cheering for you from the sidelines.
Also also, I can't speak for the children of Tumblr, but I know whenever I eyeroll at Harry Potter, 45% of the time it's because every other fic I read seems to be yet another person trying to mimic her writing style (which is fine if that's a thing someone enjoys or if they're trying to figure out their own voice... but wow, it's kind of everywhere).
