It seems that J.K. Rowling made the mistake of mentioning that she had run out of paper while writing the final book in the Harry Potter series, which resulted in many "helpful" fans sending her lots of gifts.

Ms. Rowling posted this request on her website:
"Be careful what you wish for, it might come true. Since complaining that I had difficulty finding anything to write on after running out of paper while working in town, I have been deluged with paper. Some of you sent single sheets, others entire pads, one enterprising paper merchant sent a large stack of notebooks embossed boldly with JK ROWLING, which I might not use in public, but which are very lovely all the same. Others took a different approach, telling me exactly where you can buy writing paper in Edinburgh; some even enclosed maps. Anyway, I've now got enough paper to write several book sevens, so no excuse there."

We here at Wordcandy would like to mention that we have run out of Advance Reader Copy (ARC) books. Should any packages happen to show up in our mail boxes, well... we wouldn't complain.
