sabinelagrandeJKR and Pterry being at odds* is like having your parents fighting: you don't know which side to take, but you just wish it would stop.
He's right; the media has overhyped her at the expense of other authors. But it's not her fault that the media can't get enough of her, and clearly the interviewer's the one who made her (and moreso himself) sound like an ass.
I hate how smug and superior the Pratchett fen are acting, and I hate how childish the HP fen are acting. And I love Neil Gaiman so much.
*Well, it's not even that, cause JKR hasn't responded.
But anyway, enough about fandom. I'm sitting here, bored and alone in Oxford. Rec me something. Something you wrote (particularly if you wrote it/started it during June), something you like a lot, something that's so bad it's good, anything.
