My refusal to read the Epilogues is not the subject of this topic. I have my reasons for abstaining, reasons that are not rational in the slightest, and I would like to leave it at that.

I am not saying that other people should just read the recap of the Epilogues (they can, if they’d prefer). I am especially not saying that the original poster of this topic should do that (it would appear they have already read the epilogues anyway). It is just the way I have been able to make peace with the state of postcanon content without having to read something that has already stirred up some highly antagonistic feelings from me even just from secondhand hearing.
