Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin called JK Rowling a nasty basic bitch back in like, 2004? We should have listened

“This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.“

i found the specific quote i was thinking of x

Q: Nicholas Lezard has written ‘Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.’ What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I’d like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling’s writing style

UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a “school novel”, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

damn gurl :’]

[foulserpent]

im not a real writer so take this with a grain of salt but like a lot of the writing based spaces on here being entirely foxused on trying to be Quotable in hopes it will be put in webweaving posts or to use in uquizzes and etc seems to be catastrophic to a lot of people’s writing skills. like legitimately so many people seem more focused on having these big wham lines that their writing is almost nothing But that. why make a complete rounded piece if the individual lines cant be excised for an approachable aesthetic photoset people can tag their fandom ships in? its expression stripped down to the barest consumable parts. its not challenging or interesting

and i Have to assume thats largely a natural adaptation to get creative non-fanfic writing recognized on general platforms like this (which is imo a fairly unavoidable issue) but like goddamn
