Slip! asked Charlaine Harris:

Quick, about the bad reactions when you closed the Sookie series; I think it is so bad that they reacted like that -- If anything though, you should take it as a good thing. People loved you and your writing so much, that they were upset enough to even send you threats...? That your world, your characters, effected them so much, they had that reaction. You left a legacy, Harris. Never forget that. Ok? <3

Charlaine Harris It was pretty hard to think of it as complimentary when readers were threatening my children. And I don't take it as a good thing that people forget there is a real person on the end of these threats, and that they are entitled to say whatever they please without any consequence to them. But quite a bit of consequence to me.
