Apropos - Rowlings Plans

Well, I've just finished the three books of Apropos by Peter David - "Sir Apropos of Nothing", "Woad to Wuin" and "Tong Lashing" and those of you who know me, and know the books will know how delighted I was with the last chapter of Tong Lashing and at the same time how very dissapointed.

( BIG SPOILERS LOOK AWAY UNLESS YOU'VE READ THE BOOKS OR DON'T CARE ABOUT SPOILERS )

And spotted on darklocket's LJ the (unsurprising) news that Rowling will be releasing all sorts of background stuff after she finishes the series. I knew she would, although perhaps she'll do them for charidee - i hope.

What concerns me is that - as always seems to happen when she releases any backstory or information (Bill's birthday/age anyone?) she gets is WRONG a lot of the time and ends up making it worse creating more inconsistencies and plot holes than were there in the first place (and that's saying something) I WILL be buying the last book - I'm a completer when it comes to series' of books (I have - to my shame - every single Dune book ....) but I WILL be sporking it, if it deserves it (and after HBP I can't imagine that it will be any better) and I WON'T be buying any of the Expansion Packs.

Perhaps Rowling should take a leaf from Apropos' book - literally. Now that I could support wholeheartedly.

Talking of HBP Sporks - have you read THIS GREAT SPORKING? It's very American and a bit slangy but very very VERY funny.
