I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.
My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.
Fucking same. Harry Potter 1 is THE first book I’ve ever read, a gift made by a classmate of mine (my bully too, IIRC) on my tenth birthday. If I ever get around to writing my book, it would be because of that gift, of that series, of her. But as a trans woman, how can I reconcile this with her hatred and activism against me ?
It’s painful
