Raise your hand if you're a freaky slasher too.

I'm assuming everyone has seen this article in The Guardian by now?

Um, actress_krissie? You're mentioned. Along with lots of other folks, in not-so-flattering lights. I think I saw a mention of mijan, though I'm not sure. And we get called freaks. A lot.

Though this line did make me crack a smile, I must admit: There's a group of teenage boys from the website, Mugglenet, who appear to think that they're in a boy band.

But still, it's kind of interesting to see an outside perspective on fandom every now and then, you know?

Edit: You know, the more I think about this, the more annoyed I'm getting over it.

upstart_crow makes some great points about journalistic integrity.

furiosity points out that this is just the sort of thing that might make JKR, Scholastic, or WB come down on slashers.

And many other great points are being made in locked posts, which I can't link to, obviously. :-P
