Prequel

[t0ra_chan]

I hope it's okay if I post this here.

As some of you might have heard, JKR wrote a 800 words long Marauder prequel for charity. And you can already read it here:
Marauder Prequel

Warning, it's hand-written and very hard to read in some parts.

ETA: Thanks to r_ganymede we have a link to a transcript for easier reading:

I couldn't understand the whole thing, since her handwriting is really bad, but from what I read, I agree. I would've appreciated it more if there had been some controversial new develop (even if I hated it, which I probably would have), just so I could have an opinion about the new canon, if you consider this to be! But it was nothing. Boring, really.

There's a transcription here.

And yeah, it was really pointless. I don't know what it is about Wizards violating traffic laws that JKR finds so entertaining.

I think it's the OMGPWNED not-stereotypical-at-all Law Enforcement Officers that she thinks is so f'ing hilarious.

Add another vote for LAME-O.

I thought that was only an excerpt, until I read your take on it. That's it?! Lame. JKR, move on please.

[t0ra_chan]

Yeah, I also expected more. Heck, I thought she would write it from Sirius' or James' perspective, not some random muggle.

[artystone]

Well Harry, her omnicient eye, wasn't around then. It's no wonder she was lost for a POV.

passive homoerotica with Sirus and James

I am now convinced the real reason JKR shies away from Sirius/Remus is because she (possibly subconsciously) ships Sirius/James. Too busy being a cool rebel to have a girlfriend indeed.

Hmm. Fat jokes and SiriusandJames being twits while saving the day. Move on, nothing to see here.
