I mean you can ping them on twitter in appreciation when you're done or pick out a thing you like when reading it but to start slagging the work off is ridiculous

notable exceptions are JK Rowling, Ernest Cline and Brian Herbert. They kinda have it coming

What's Cline done to be lumped in with JK? Can't say I've heard of Herbert so not an issue.

I don't like putting people who've just made asses of themselves or who seem to be shitty at their job in the same category as a politically influential billionaire actively campaigning against a specific vulnerable minority So JK Rowling is not in the same category for me

The most actually overtly harmful thing I'm aware of about him is that Harry Knowles of Ain't It Cool News was his mentor and best friend -- Aech in READY PLAYER ONE was originally based on Knowles before he added the reveal the character is a Black woman irl
