Disclaimer: I do not recommend the HP books anymore for obvious authorial reasons. I am about 68% in the camp "fuck all of her shit" and 32% "let's write the queerest shit she used to get WB to kill fansites for when they obtained the IP" team. (I'm not bitter the super detailed work I put into a HP roleplay site got taken down because of that in the olden days, no siree.)
Death of the author is such a thing, so as long as nothing is contributing to her profits? But by profilgating her works, that's tempting others to do so? It's a dilemma.
At this point, I figure most people who would be influenced by internet fandom content also have the ability to access media that doesn't empower TERFs, and I hope they do so, and that doing not is a choice. It's more the prospective new HP series that worries me.
If the WGA and SGA/AFTRA strike do anything, I hope it's kill the HP reboot (instead of paying Michelle and Jeri enough to lure them into ST: Legacy).
