... without having to try to punish other people whose creativity might have been inspired by something I wrote

'creative' and 'inspired' are hardly words appropriate for Steven Vander Ark.

Yes, Rowling is a tad over-protective of her little creation but Mr Scott Card is a little full of himself isn't he ?

No he is quite right.

Rowling didn't create the whole Harry Potter thing from nowhere nor did she create a new genre.

She should quit her bitchin' and get on with being a lucky billionaire.

Has he even written anything recently? I did like his Earth series.

He was a bit ott, but I think Rowling has lost the plot with her lawsuit, why not just demand he make it the "completely unofficial unauthorised encyclopedia" and then wreite her own bigger and better researched one with extra stuff? Silly woman,
