JK Rowling said she would "bring marshmallows" after Twitter user said her books should be burned in public over her support for the Union.
The Harry Potter author previously revealed that she had become a target for online abuse in the wake of the General Election result.
On Friday she thanked Twitter followers who had supported her, writing: "If you could all see the amount of love and support flooding my timeline right now, you would be - as I am - overwhelmed. #FaithRestored."
She later added that her fans' posts "reminds me how big the world is and how many more decent people there are than not".
Yesterday, she responded to one Twitter user who suggested her books should be burned in public over her support for Labour and the No campaign by joking that she would "bring marshmallows".
She tweeted: "Book burnings! I'll bring marshmallows."
The poster, @JMcGilchrist93, has now deleted his Twitter account.
Ms Rowling had previously complained about the abuse she faced from cybernats during the referendum campaign after it emerged she had donated £1m to the No campaign.
In 2008, she donated the same amount to the Labour party.
On Friday the author revealed she had been called "a traitor" for her political views and had blocked some abusive Twitter users she believed had been SNP supporters.
The 49-year-old also revealed she had "responded to other really nice SNP supporters" and had discussed "how much I had in common politically with many of them".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
