Greetings all! I am in the midst of writing at the moment -- well, compiling footnotes, if you must know -- but I thought I would pause and say hello.
As some of you know, I am quite fond of compiling geeky CDs for my personal amusement, and it struck me that some of you might have fun with the songs I've found. So below, please find my track listing for mixes based on Star Wars and Harry Potter. I know there's a lot of music out there (these just represent some favorites), but if I've missed a song you think is a "must hear," please let me know. Thanks!
I hope you enjoy:

Snape: Potter, let Malfoy kick it old school or it's detention.

Date: 2005-06-01 01:14 pm (UTC)Good question! I've talked about her when I've lectured on fan fiction, and I could imagine writing about her, as well. She's one of many who have employed attorneys to go after fans, but some of the others eventually have changed their tunes (Chris Carter, George Lucas), and of the anti-fan fiction folks left, she seems to be the most visible -- and, as you rightly point out, the most unhinged! Did you see the Fandom Wank reaction to her Amazon post? The icons made with quotes from her response were just too funny. When authors take themselves that seriously, with that degree of defensiveness, laughter must be the most unnerving reaction they can receive. Anyway, I'm rambling: the short answer is yes. :) You, too, I'm guessing? She certainly makes for a lively case study.
