In which I make fandom statements that have no logical basis in reality.

I'm a bad, bad fangirl.

While I 100% understand JKR and why she's blocking the publication of the HP Lexicon's book, can I just say that I really don't want a HP reference book/encyclopedia from the author?

I like my fandom world and my own personal thoughts about the characters (and isn't that what reading is all about? That you can put your spin on characters?) without the author writing a compendium to be sure that we all know every particular about every person in her canon. Especially if she goes into it to specifically denouce widely-held opinions on certain characters *cough cough*

And JKR didn't go after the myriad different authors (and freaking Mugglenet) when they published their books/theories/crapoop. So, what gives? Is it because this book would be just the facts? Actually, I want to know that - what makes the "We've come up with some crazy-ass theories" or "Harry Potter makes kids worship Satan" book okay, but this one not okay?

Hopefully the online Lexicon won't be going away anytime soon, and that there will always be enough money to keep it afloat (especially since JKR has said that she personally has used the site to research her own books!).

I'm feeling my oats as a disgrunted fangirl today.
