I only know of what you call "The Draco Trilogy" as a hoary myth told of around campfires to scare young fanficcers. ;) I've never tackled it myself, although I have read a few chapters of "My Immortal". I had to stop before "fatal hilarity" became a personal reality and not just something I heard about the Joker being up to.

Also, I think my taste got a bit more, er, refined over the years I read fic...

Someone once told me that since I started out with Severus/Sirius, my tastes were already "refined" and it was no wonder that I didn't like Severus/Hermione, since most people went the other direction. ;)

I think I started relatively late in life, which may have a lot to do with it. Many of the horrors in fandom are perpetrated by teenagers who later look at back at themselves and go OMG WTF. (I certainly have some OMG WTF original fiction sitting around, even from as old as ~23.) Me, I was almost 29 already when I leapt into HP fandom last year.

OTOH I sometimes run across people whose writing is very impressive that I then am slightly sheepishly boggled to find out are, in fact, teenagers (albeit older ones, ca. 18-19).
