the buzzfeed style, I totally agree though I liked the one about Severus hehe. And I prefer it just in Buzzfeed or sites like that.
What I really don´t like is the explore button.... sometimes I don´t even know what I want to read, a combined thing like an index and the explore part would be good. otherwise a lot is lost for the non English speakers that don´t remember or don´t know certain names (me included haha).

Probably won't make much of an impact, but I admire Tessa's gumption.
I think a good grass-roots message to JK is a outstanding idea! :handgestures-thumbupright:

Well, she does seem to have, shall we say, moved above and beyond us mere readers...

I'm not concerned about her attorneys.

It's just that she is trying to distance herself from Harry (and us) by doing things that will cause us to turn away.
I'm guessing, so she can pursue her path to being a great author of fiction. Not children's books.
You know.... Like, The Casual Vacancy. :angry-banghead:

you just had to mention that book didn't you ... :angry-tappingfoot:

she wants to try something new, and I get that (really I do)
after becoming so successful and rich, she has time and opportunity to experiment with anything she wants. I just don't understand how someone of her caliber & intelligence could possibly thought that 'that book' was worth publishing.

rather than just basking in her glory and remaining true to the HP world, she is continually floundering around splashing fish guts along the shores of her dipping pool hoping that she latches onto another great whale. (metaphorically speaking)

Its too bad we discovered the author behind the pen name (for "that book" * ewwww *).... I like to think she knew what a PoS it was, so put a fake name on it so that it wouldn't diminish her in our eyes. But then, I believe in S. Claus, too....
