On Rowling

[azurelunatic]

Notice to all Potter fans: in case you weren't aware, JKR plays mind-games with her fans. It's her idea of fun. Deal with it.

Or, if you're like me -- enjoy it. Because you know she's fucking with us.

What did she do now?

[azurelunatic]

Still on the Half-Blood Prince thing, and all the people who are going on about this and that and the other.

I don't expect a straight word from her about everything until Book 7 is published and released.

Oh, I see.

Im not hardcore into HP fandom myself, but seems like she really does enjoy playing the cloak-and-dagger routine with yfolks. Which IMHO is actually pretty cool. I bet she'd be great on the con circut.

Problems occur, however, when there are credulous fangirls about who have no experience with authors doing this.

But, but... then we'd have one less reason to laugh at the neo-fen...

*tounge firmly in cheek*

Cute, aren't they?

[dawn-again.livejournal.com]

Adorable. So innocent, so trusting in their chosen gods. Almost a shame the shiny has to get rubbed off, but we must let the Authors have their toys.

texasmeercat's theory is that the HBP is Hagrid. *grin* I doubt it, but I *like* it! :D

I was thinking that might be the case too. I mean, half-giant, and who knows who his mother was...

Meer thinks his mother is a high muckety-muck among the giants, so we're going to find out he's some kind of prince with them :)

Actually, everything I've seen and heard - including her general attitudes - suggests that she's a rank amateur who got lucky and hit the big time... and has no idea how a professional author should act.

I still find it amusing that her demands for insanely high privacy fences on her (still being converted - we've walked past that way a few times recently) house were denied, on the basis that if she's that paranoid she can always write behind closed curtains.

I think I love your country.
