| | |  J.K.Rowling NOT threatening legal action over James Potter story
The Scotsman recently claimed that J.K.Rowling was threatening legal action over a well-publicised fanfiction about James Potter, Harry's son ( James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing). This report was entirely false. Mr. George Lippert, the 37-year-old Web designer from St. Louis, MO, who wrote the story, has stated the following; Quote:
“Information regarding any ‘legal action’ on the part of Ms. Rowling is quite false. I sought contact with Ms. Rowling via her agent, offering her an advance copy of the story for her perusal. This was accepted (at least by her agent), and presumably they are currently perusing JPHEC at this moment to assure they have no problems with the content. Additionally, they have assured me that as long as I have no intentions of publishing the book for profit, that it is appropriate for children [no pornography], and that I do not intend to attribute it to Ms. Rowling, they have no problem whatsoever with my free release of the book.“
[These comments have been backed by the Christopher Little Agency, who represent Jo]

Why not publish it? There's lots of published fanfics out there, from Buffy to Star Trek. If it's a good story, they could totally work something out. | |

Because then you'd be making a profit off the back of someone else's idea. Spin-off novels from TV shows are different - those writers are commissioned by the companies/studios involved.

I'm glad to hear this whole situation was cleared up. I was really worried about all of us poor little fan fic writers.

Thought it was strange for JK to do that.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

That's good that JKR isn't doing that. If she was, that'd be weird, because HP Fan Fiction is everywhere.

It makes sense that she's not threatening legal action since the guy never claimed to be JKR and isn't doing it for profit.  | |

That's pretty cool. Though the printers are getting profit from it, just not the author. Or am I getting mixed up? Hmm...

It's just available on the internet, not in physical form.
