She may not be the only one with significant fame and fan following, but I think you're underestimating the sheer size of HP fandom. I really can't think of a single author whose fandom is as large or as vocal as the HP fandom, and to me that makes a big difference. Other popular authors can be known for multiple works or series, or have a good-sized fanbase but not the size of HP. Other authors don't have movie studios wanting to make sequels to their works because it's a sure sell. And that you can't think of an example doesn't mean they don't exist -- it's that when JKR tweets a headcanon it gets retweeted a million times and ends up on various news sites. I can't think of a single other author living today who would get that kind of reaction. JKR may well not be unique, she's just the only one who gets this kind of crazy attention.

I never said anything that even hinted that the HP fandom wasn't enormous. I only pointed out that Rowling isn't the only author to have a large enough fan base of enthusiastic fans who would also ask for more details. It's pretty silly to imply that the size of the fandom gives Rowling no other option but to tweet out endless updates about the canon and that the reason why no other authors do it is because their fandoms are too small.

And that you can't think of an example doesn't mean they don't exist -- it's that when JKR tweets a headcanon it gets retweeted a million times and ends up on various news sites.

And you think that's got absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she tweets out headcanons a lot more than any other popular writer? It's down to size of her fandom alone?
