    I think if she did, it would make a fortune. However, I can't say I personally think it's a good idea. I thought the series ended quite well the way that it did, and as long as she doesn't fuck with it, I will still respect her as an author. If she ends up copping out and publishing more titles in the Potterverse just because that's what she knows will make money, I think I'll end up walking away. Her name alone is enough to ensure that pretty much any new venture she works on will be an instant bestseller, whether it's good or not. I'm hoping she starts up a brand new series somewhere down the line that deals with something completely different, but is written with the same amount of devotion and foresight.

    I haven't heard anything about time-skipping to their kids, but I heard that she's bounced around the idea of covering Neville's off-screen exploits which she never got to describing due to Harry being the viewpoint character, as well as a Potterverse encyclopedia. There's also a bit of potential around the Marauders.

    Bit of a Dragonlance high now, so I'm reading lost chronicles #1 Which tells a story that takes place after the companions freed the slaves from Pax Tharkas.


    I'm a little worried about them putting in too much information since the Dragonlance universe has expanded greatly since the first books and possibly breaking continuity with it. Still, the characters seem ok so far and it's interesting to see them talk about things that have happened to them before the war of the lance which of course such tales didn't exist in print until much later.

    I prefer the other FR books; the Drizzt books are a good read though.

    Meh, thought I'd do this. Just to see if it'd catch.

    I think it's alright, it did hit some part of me, but personally i am a machine more than a touchy-feely person.
    any good book recommendations?

    Sentinelspire

    Some twists I saw coming, and some I didn't. All in all, it was a good read.

    I'm reading The Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien. It's about the history of middle earth. It's fascinating, there's a creation story. It explains how Sauron gained his power and how he made his rings. Before that, I read Rin-ne a manga.
