mijan: (KEEL YOU!)

I'm sure many of you have seen the article posted in "The Guardian" now, under  "The Observer", by Carole Cadwalladr.  If you haven't, feel free to check out this pathetic excuse for a real piece of journalism.

I decided that I needed to write to these people.  We, the people of the Harry Potter fandom, have a good rapport with J.K.Rowling.  We pride ourselves on our open communities, the events we hold, and the fun we have as an extended fandom community.  Some of us write, some read, some draw, some costume.  Some of us do all of these things.  Yet, we all have the common thread of calling ourselves Harry Potter fans.  Citizens of the fandom, as it were.  And here, this clueless woman presents an entire article of baseless insults against ALL of us.  So, I wrote to the Guardian.  What follows is the e-mail I sent.  Please, feel free to read it.  And then, feel free to pass it on.  

I'm sure JKR has seen this woman's article by now.  I think it's high time she heard what the people of the fandom really think, and see who we really are.  (Look for my next post... trust me, you won't want to miss it.  I have something big in the works.)
