I think the judge made the right call. Rowling's work is the base, and this guy is trying to make a profit off of her work.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Is there any way to get around lj's stupid adult content warning page from a hand-held? Logging in doesn't help, I just keep getting looped back to that page.
If anyone's looking for a really good after-the-books-end Neville fic, I can recommend The Colors of Fire by Sher over at Checkmated. She just finished it, and it's one of the best not-starring-Harry HP fics I've read.
Thank you Kathy. I love Neville, and long drawn out romances, which this is shaping up to be (I am on chapter 4).
OTW's launched the beta of their fannish history wiki, Fanlore.
t goes back to trying not to spend entire day on Fanlore
And now OTW has opened the Archive of Our Own for browsing and beta. You can't create an account yet, but you can go in and look around and offer feedback (as long as you're using Firefox). Browser compatibility is one of the last things they'll work on.
It's so PRETTY.
Which reminds me, my very first rec to something on the OTW Archive: [link]
OTW fandom. No, really. And hilarious in its meta-ness.
That is a wonderful story. Full of conflict and cooperation, pretty things and people and pictures, and buckets o' fun.
Plus? I like when I can make out the narrative from the pictures. That was never my strong suit in preschool (I didn't mean that in a catty way, I'm serious. I'm much more text than picture oriented. 'S why I can't grok graphic novels and comics).
So.... how do stories get archived there?
(There's probably a link someone can give me, rather than explaining, because I'm sure I'm the last person to know...)
