>Do you think JK would have heard of DAYD? And if she read it, would you be happy about it? Just curious, I'm about to start reading it because it sounds amazing.
It’s not impossible…it’s well-known enough that it was referenced in the Atlantic Monthly as an example of good fic, and I know Matthew Lewis and Devon Murray have both read and enjoyed it and Sluagh. But honestly, I don’t know Ms. Rowling’s reading preferences, nor how she feels about fanfic in general, and while I’d be as happy to have her enjoy my work as anyone else, I’m mostly just happy that she hasn’t gone Anne Rice on the entire thing.
>Whoa! Matthew Lewis and Devon Murray read DAYD and Sluagh? How did you find out? How did /they/ find out about them?
During the height of DAYD’s popularity in 2008-2009, someone printed off copies of DAYD and gave it to them at a convention. At a separate occasion, someone else asked Matt if he had heard of DAYD and he said he liked it and that was how he thought the last movie should definitely go (this was before HBP came out, much less the DH films). And Devon Murray sent me a note saying if Sluagh went to a film, he had dibs.
