Having had a quick glance through it, it's better than the article the Guardian did last time there was a convention. At least this lady seems to think it's all rather sweet in an odd sense. And she was very impressed about people being happy and loving books which is nice. The last one they thought we were all batshit barking mad. Which pissed me off and no one else seemed to notice!
At least this time, she was going to it and went to the actual conferences. The other lady just had people talk to her and someone was talking happily about Hogwarts/Giant Squid. Which made me howl with rage that anyone was so stupid as to talk to an obvious reporter about the bits of fandom that I think we should keep private. Whereas at least with this one, she went to talks and seemed to enjoy some of them and said nice things! I think it's a nice article and she's being really good about it. And I don't blame her for being a bit freaked out about some aspects. Hell, I'm not big on beastiality and I'm in fandom. And I'm not overly fond of Snape/Hermione either.
Um, this long ramble is actually agreeing. I'll stop there!
