all hail the new troll king, at least no one's knotting, authors, bitter so bitter, books/authors, burn baby burn, but what are your thoughts on otps?, canon fodder, community: oh no they didn't, fan rage, fan theories, fandom: harry potter, harmonians, jkr doesn't know harry potter like i do, my dream wedding destroyed, person: jkr, potter fandom will not be outwanked!, she admitted it!, this is the wank that never ends, too many fucking tags, troll

These things really do go in cycles...
c/p'd from Mousie's hard work:

Emma Watson is guest editing a British magazine that comes out on Thursday.

In it, supposedly JK Rowling shares her regret for making a certain pairing canon over another one.

Nowadays she admits she got it wrong - she should have shipped Harry / Hermione.

ONTD jumps on the bandwagon first with predictable splooge. 2600+ comments and gong. Wank_report anonymouse captured their favorites:

Ron's an asshole! No, Hermione's abusive!

When people don't like ron it's because he's too poor and working class!

Someone mentions Hermione/Draco, spawning a thread about whether Draco is an irredeemable racist. Bonus: passive-aggressive use of "gurl". I guess it's the new "sweetie"? http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/85367803.html?thread=14993142779#t14993142779

In response to the same Dramione thread, Godwin's Law is invoked! http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/85367803.html?thread=14993602043#t14993602043

I'm...not even sure what's happening in this thread. But I know I can't look away.

That's just from the first few pages.

Meanwhile, on Tumblr...

Dear J. Rowling, If you ever dare to say that Ron wasn’t good enough for anybody I’d be so done.
