JKR offset donations
Dec. 31st, 2025 03:32 pmSometimes I still get comments and kudos on Transfigurations and my other Harry Potter stories.
Of course I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, fandom belongs to the fans, and the outpouring of love and work and time that created the fandom was ours and remains ours. On the other hand, I don't like the ongoing link to someone who has traded in a career as an author for one as a full-time pro-hate activist.
I don't want to take the stories down. I don't want to orphan them. I just want to be able to take some pleasure in them again.
So starting with 2026, I'm making donations to https://transgenderlawcenter.org and https://give.thetrevorproject.org in honor of fanreaders. That way when the titles come up in my email, I'll have a nice, warm feeling knowing that they're connected with people who are doing something positive for the lives of trans people.
