I don't like knowing anything at all about the authors of the books I read tbh. It's too easy for their personalities and actions to make me dislike their work :\

[(Anonymous)]

Ditto.

Except for Terry Pratchet, because my god, that man is amazing ;w;

[(Anonymous)]

That's my entire approach to fandom. I don't want to know about the writers.

[(Anonymous)]

Too true.

Pretty much anyone that is involved in a creative process (writers, douchey actors/actresses, directors, bands, etc.) are on my ignore list. Finding out that folks whose work you love and admire suck as people can ruin your fan experience and the work itself.

Same here.

Of course some authors happen to be very truly nice people (PTerry seems to be a wonderfully patient guy and truly generous with his time - possibly too generous, even) but it doesn't change the fact that I'd really rather not know anything about the writers of the books I read so I can enjoy/dislike/judge what I read based on its own merits.

I hate this modern thing where authors are required to do signing tours an interviews to promote their books. If I do not care for the books/authors, their are a waste of my time and money (since such PR expenses end up padding the price of the next book I buy from that publisher), and if I like that author's books, I'd rather he/she got more free time to think up another book for me to enjoy than waste time traveling and/or answering stupid questions.

Or even worse, get so many stupid questions they end up thinking their readers are stupid and modify their writing accordingly

I so agree. It's nice to hear it from a reader's perspective, though. :)
