So, kradical, a pro writer who also writes tie-ins, wrote a post pointing out differences between fanfic and tie-ins.

I just came from a party where I met the friend of a friend... we’d met at the movies a couple weeks ago, she’s in fandom (not Buffy, I forget which), I gave her the link to the Smile Time comic. Then today I ask her how she liked it, and she says, yeah, she like, and by the way, three of her friends were all, "What, you know her ( Read more... )

Fresh in from clairvoyantwank: A reporter for the Guardian Observer attended Lumos and has since written a not exactly flattering article about HP fans, Harry Potter and the mystery of an academic obsession ( Read more... )

Okay, okay, everyone is creating journals at GJ, and I have no idea what it's about because I've been way too enthralled by the wank that shook HP fandom... but anyway, I caved and created a place holder journal. I don't intend to post on it, but should fandom decide to flock over there, I'll have my username secured (I googled astridv... it's more ( Read more... )
