So sue me!

Far be it from me not to defend an author’s rights, but isn’t J.K.Rowling being just a bit dog in the manger by trying to stop RDR Books publishing the Harry Potter Lexicon? I mean, it’s not as if she exactly needs the money, and she did give the lexicon a “fan site award”. However, from a different point of view I’d be delighted if she sued me – what huge free advertising? Maybe I’ll use Professor Severus Snape as the antagonist in my next Maxim Gunn story. After all, Jean Rhys used Charlotte Bronte's Mrs. Rochester in "Wide Sargasso Sea."
