There have been a lot of good points made about some fanfic writers doing it out of a desire for self-fulfillment, rather than anything else. And I think that explains it better than anything else I've come across. They're not writing it to write about the characters and canon, they're doing it....well, ready any self-insert and that pretty much sums it up.

Peter is a very effective villian, and I hate when people make him anything else. Yes, he's a bad guy. He managed to get the Potter's killed, get Sirius thrown in Azkaban, Imperio Bary Crouch and ressurect the fucking Dark Lord. By himself. How is this a pathetic and useless character?

I do believe I love you to!
