For those who haven't seen it, the Observer has an article about Lumos. Worth a look, and more positive than the first paragraph suggests: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,1837941,00.html

Pity the journalist couldn't quote an intelligent gen- or het-fan, though...

I have to admit, I cried laughing at her comments about the SS/HG discussion.

That and "When in Doubt Chuck in the Word "Deconstruction" and See the Suckers Lap it Up'."

Yes, that was right on the money, wasn't it - the account of the 'Marxist reading' of HP was amusing too (though a Marxist reading might be interesting, done right).

Though it seems that a lot of people are getting upset about it. Which is legitimate in the case of people who were misquoted - but basically, I thought it was pretty funny, and fairly accurate as far as the oddities of fandom go...

Intelligent gen-fan? Are there any other kind? :D

The article actually sounded better than expected, given the obvious culture shock.

Yes, not the gentlest of introductions to fandom...
