If you're just here to read my fanfic, feel free to skip this rant. I am working on the latest "Scars" chapter, I promise!
So on to the rant...
When I saw this article on the Leaky Cauldron about Steve Vander Ark of the Harry Potter Lexicon being sued, along with his publisher, by Warner Bros. and JKR, I was shocked. I've never met him, but he seems like a nice guy and die-hard HP fan from his Pottercast "Canon Conundrum" segments, various interviews, and his posts on the Lexicon. Obviously no one but a fan would have put such a tremendous amount of work into building the Lexicon. And JKR has praised the Lexicon in the past, given them a fansite award, even admitted that she used it to check up on facts sometimes when she was writing.
