Some of us managed to study in high school, have fun in college, and still write fanfiction, though I avoided the worst teenage angst by just not participating in it. It doesn’t help write a good story, whatever 14 year old girls think.

I’ve never seen a newspaper article misspell Rowling’s name, considering they’d get about a hundred letters to the editor if they did, I think you’re just trolling. Like I said to the last troll, nobody made you click this thread.

I think that there’s nothing wrong with fifteen year olds writing fanfiction.. I am going to be critical of a multi-millionaire author choosing to end her book with a piece of fanfiction that reads like it was written by a fifteen year old author... One’s an amateur author who isn’t going to get his/ her work published; the other is getting paid millions of dollars. I expect the latter author to come up with something of greater quality than the former. As for Rowlings name, I’ve seen it mis-spelled quite a few times by newspapers, etc. I’m amused that this is the best argument that you can come up with. This suggests that my criticisms about the final book are relevant.
