Jason Pinter: The Konrath Effect: Will New Technology Ruin Talented Authors?

I wonder, with the incredible ease in which authors can now publish their rejected manuscripts online, whether fewer authors are going to take the time to hone their craft, get good at what they do, and achieve their full potential.

Rowling, now the richest woman in England, wealthier than even the Queen.

I think it's going to be an interactive website where you can join and get to do your own adventures, attend school to make potions, solve things,etc. We'll see what is. I'm excited to see what she is conjuring up next!

After watching Harry Potter dancing on the Tony's award show, I have a hard time taking anything about this series, seriously anymore, :)

I hope it's not more Potter books. Rowling's writing got progressively worse as the series ended becuase they where afraid to edit her and she needed editing.

It's time to let Harry and his friends rest.

Oh please. The Deathly Hallows was a mess.

I'm not saying there where not gems of brilliance in it, there are. But there is so much junk that you loose the story. I mean, come on, they spend 75% of the book on an extended camping trip where, guess what, nothing happens.

Won't happen. That's a goldmine that hasn't been tapped out yet. Who would permanently walk away from that? Personally, I think there's going to be the second generation at Hogwarts with a new villian, etc. I hope so, but I liked the films better. I wish, for kid's sake, she'd go back to the less darker days of the first two books. Back to the uniforms and quasi-menacing situations. It was supposed to be for 12 and younger in the first place, I think....

Honestly, this seems likely as there is a glorified fan fiction series out there right now, by an author who is not Rowling, that's all about Harry's kids at Hogwarts.
