I forsee two possible ends:

1) We will all go our seperate ways, maybe writing the occasional 
fanfic, but not really bothered by it anymore

2) We band together and do something extreme like lay siege to JK's 
house and promise her the Crown if she promises to keep writing until 
her death, or something like that.
