Just read Cursed Child......was this satire or big joke? I am so confused.
Cursed ChildI've read worse fan fiction, to be honest. Not that it makes Cursed Child good, of course, but, you know, when you think it's just someone coming up with a new story from a beloved literary universe, you appreciate the effort, and there might at least be interesting ideas there. I think if Cursed Child were posted on fanfiction.net or whatever, it'd be an easily overseeable and forgettable piece of work, but it would have its appreciators. Is it well written? No. Is it full of plot holes? Yes. Is it inconsistent with the source material? Absolutely. But it's a "story"
But then, Rowling hops in, officializes it and suddenly Cursed Child is made canonic in the Harry Potter universe. So now all that bad piece of non-sense becomes official. Then it becomes catastrophic from all angles.
Idk it’s pretty fucking odd having a kid kiss their aunt, like there’s no two ways about that. I don’t think it being hypothetically on Fanfiction.net would change anything in that regard.
Compared to some fan fiction that's pretty tame.
I won’t argue with that.
