Notes from the fandom(s)

[sabinelagrande]

JKR 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.

Ask and ye shall recieve. I started this around June-ish.

And I totally agree on PTerry and JKR thing. It's really weird. Though what I, personally, find the most amusing is that a lot of HP brats claim that Pratchett is attacking JK because he's a no name who's jealous of JK's sucess and money.


Yes. Because PTerry is a copmlete unknown who no one has ever heard of. At all. There are abolutely no stage versions of his books, nor are there three video games made off of his work. Absolutely non-existant.

Oh, his name is only on one out of every hundred books sold in the UK. That's practically nothing. ::snerk::

And you seem to have linked me to your preview page, rather than the story, which is no good.

*just figured out the joke in your icon*


Hmm, that's no good. Let's see if we can fix that.
