Good god people.

Criticizing JK Rowling is not an act of unforgivable evil.

In reference to this.

Edit: And for the record, I hadn't even heard of Yolen before now. Being an obsessive fan is fine and all (I'm one myself), but if it gets to the point where you cannot tolerate even the idea of someone saying something unflattering about your particular obsession, then it's something to be worried about.

Edit2: As long as, you know, it doesn't apply to me. Hypocrisy and all that jazz.

Edit3: Oh, why do I bother?

Children's literature is VAST. And I love HP to death, but I hate when people put it in a pedestal and then think there is nothing more that could better. ;_;

I used to adore it. I despise it now. DESPISE IT.

A lot of this is due to the fandom. I hate this OMGJKRCANDONOWRONG!!!1111 attitude. I've read MUCH better stories, and her writing leaves a bit to be desired.
