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.

While 1 (in the last group) and 2 (in the first group) are clearly insane, I am firmly in favour of 1 (as was Thackeray), and on the fence as regards the others.
I used to agree with 2 in the last group, but I have been moving more and more against it as I grew older.

What is the deal with this "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob" business?
