Really? Where does one get one's Ivanhoe tee-shirts or the Brandon-Marianne 'shipper site? - Edit 1

You make it sound as though no fan of any series has ever debated the end of a romantic plot. I find this especially hilarious for a post on RAFO, because I have seen the following passionately debated here (and elsewhere) in various forms...even though the book 'closed' the matter:
1. Ivanhoe really belonged with Rebecca, not Rowena
2. Hermione should have chosen Harry over Ron
3. Lily and Snape were soooo meant to be
Other ardent Team X proclamations I've seen/heard:
1. Colonel Brandon?!? Marianne belonged with (a seriously reformed) Willoughby!
2. Move over, Amy, Laurie belongs with Jo!
etc.
You may despise the Twilight books, but don't credit/disparage its hysterical fandom debates as anything new.
