I don't really mind her. I just cringe when she acts like her characters actually exist and are talking to her - but other authors do that too (and worse than her).

I also don't mind the flailing that's clogging my dash every time or the new meta about how everything in that universe is the perfectestest thing ever that pops up every time (as long as I can blacklist it)... the only thing I do mind sometimes are those self congratulatory posts about how you ~never move on to Harry Potter~ and ~Everyone is in it for life~.

"I just cringe when she acts like her characters actually exist and are talking to her - but other authors do that too (and worse than her)."

This. It's nothing personal against JKR, I just cringe when authors go on about reeeeeeeal their characters are.

I think it depends on how you say it. I mean if it's some sort of delusional "they're real people" thing it's one thing.

But if writers simply express that their characters seem to "reveal themselves" to the author in their mind or something. That's actually a feeling writers can get. I have and writer friends of mine have said so as well.

There's a clear difference between them and the latter is hard to explain properly.

Different anon: I'll never forever laurel k Hamilton talk about buying Christmas presents for her characters, momentarily forgetting they weren't real.

AYRT

Yeah that's uh...that's insane.

That was an amazing moment. She has zero self awareness when it comes to blogging and it is a glorious, glorious thing.

First anon here: I get having the characters in your head, that's definitely not an issue.
But if an author (and I don't mean JKR here) starts writing about their daily life with their characters (as in actually coming hoem and the characters are hanging out on their couch), I raise my eyebrows.
JKR is not as bad, but I did cringe a bit at the wording of the announcement which Harry's son was sorted into and the like.

That sounds like the kind of RP I'd probably just keep to my friends for fun. Why anyone would blog about that publicly I don't know.

*shrug* Because people want to hear about that. It got a great reaction from the fans. Don't like it? Don't read it. Problem solved.
