Like if you went back in time, grabbed up Rowling circa like 1989, and brought her to the present day with a name change and a makeover to render her unrecognizable, do you think her "talent" and "intelligence" would get her fucking anywhere She'd be immensely fucked

Like re: the Rowline you can tell that Twilight came from a much more passionate place than HP, that Meyer wrote the initial short story in this white heat after her creepy dream
