This guy just keeps getting more and more wonderful ❤️
Joanne’s really milking this cash cow for all it’s worth, and then some. Guess that’s your only option when you’re a one-hit wonder, though. Must not have stumbled across any new content she’s interested in plagiarizing.
You say that like anyone else wouldn’t. If life gives you a golden cow, milk the shit out of it. Lol
Let’s focus on her being a terrible person instead of making up nonsense reasons to further dislike her. There’s no need.
No, I think most people wouldn’t. Most people would be happy with literally becoming a fucking billionaire, and would be satisfied at that point.
I don’t know any billionaires myself, but judging from what I read and see online that is not what people do when they literally become a billionaire.
I mean, you could tell the point in book 4 where they said “Fuck it, bring in the ghost writers”.
I doubt she’s probably written anything in 30 years that wasn’t drunkenly pounded out on Twitter
She’s a terrible person, but saying she’s a one-hit wonder is unfair. Here’s a list of famous and acclaimed authors who only wrote one novel. And she wrote several, even if all in the same series. Criticize for for her true faults: being a hateful hag that makes the world a worse place and isn’t worth the O2 she consumes.
CouLd you point me to what original she plagiarized? I need some light reading material and this sounds promising.
Here is a pretty decent list: https://elftor.medium.com/harry-potter-and-the-possible-plagiarism-of-one-j-rowling-c19f1b05595c
I’m not a fan of Harry Potter, and don’t like Rowling, but I read that whole damn essay and was not at all convinced. Half the examples could be said to be plagiarising each other by the standard they’re using. They say at the start the coincidences are too strong to be attributed to tropes, but I really disagree with that. Almost everything they list are common tropes, many even outside magical wizard settings. Mean adoptive family? Did she also plagiarise Cinderella?
Sure, her books generally aren’t original themes, but to say they’re so similar that they are direct plagiarism is a real stretch in my opinion. Especially when you have to list like 30 books that have one or two things in common each, and mostly in a general sense.
I think they’re referring to A Wizard of Earthsea? It’s been on my reading list for a few years now, but I still haven’t gotten around to it.
And especially “the worst witch” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Worst_Witch?wprov=sfla1
HBO previously did a adaption of The Casually Vacancy. I never watched it but I read the book which is terrible.
Oh, what did you find terrible about the book? I thought it was sad but written with a lot of empathy. I liked the gray characters. It was even worse for me to realize what JKR was like after reading this book that seemed so right to me. But maybe I overlooked something.
