Hi, lost stranger. Nice to see you, whoever you are. :)
Waiting till the source material is 'complete' (in some sense) is probably a reasonable attitude -- I got into the HP fandom a few months after OotP came out, and fanfic a few months later, as a way of alleviating the withdrawal symptoms when I realised that the next book probably wouldn't appear for a couple of years! And it turned out to be kind of addictive.
Anyway, glad the opinions seemed reasonable -- I'm fairly flexible, but probably sometimes have views that a significant group of fans seem to take issue with. :)
