-it doesn't keep romanticizing how "good" the HP lore is-

Is that unacceptable now, too? LOLLL that's just batshit levels of moral policing. That is truly, hilariously insane.

DA

I think what anon meant was in the realm of acting as promoters or free advertising or direct encouragement to buy stuff, which gels with the stance of not wanting to give JKR money. Not like wistfully looking back at HP fandom or fics or something.

At least that's how I read it.

OK but what's the acceptable line between fannish excitement and free advertising? Like, what if I reread the books and make posts about how great I think they are? Does that make me a deplorable?

Not that I would do that because it would be the equivalent of wearing a "kick me" sign, and also fandom successfully made me hate HP and IDEK where my books are anymore.

No idea, I'm not the original poster, and I agree the middle ground is unclear. There probably is a far end where people host like, officially licensed/HP themed gatherings with merch and stuff where it isn't murky at all though.

Ah, gotcha.
