I haven't left what I would call negative feedback--just made a couple of points, one concerning a slight canon deviation and the other about pacing
Since when is fanfiction ever even remotely concerned with canon?
For the most part, fan fiction is taking canon characters and playing with them in situations that make the author (or, in ficfests, the recipient) happy. It's akin to small children playing with Barbie dolls or G.I. Joes... canon only vaguely applies, and then only when the author decides they want it to.
Sorry if I sound bitter here, but the entire idea of "canon" makes me snarf my coffee this morning, especially when inundated with H/D, Snarry, Snupin, and all the other decidedly non-canon smut and romance fic.
