Spotted this little item on Twitter and found my jaw dropping in disbelief. Now, however, I find myself feeling cynical and not really surprised after all

I don't know if you've seen what Steve Vander Ark eventually did publish, but in no way, shape, or form is it the HP Lex we know and love. It certainly isn't worth spending hard-earned money on, imho. On the other hand, the Lex as he would have published it would be worth every penny of the asking price.
No argument from me. Either she should have objected the minutes she saw the site, or she should have continued to tolerate it. What she did was the opposite of gracious.
That's precisely my feeling on it too, Diane. That lawsuit left a very sour taste in my mouth when it happened, and it's been resurrected again, hearing this latest news.
heard about the book, but didn't really bother to check it out after the whole lawsuit kerfuffle. poor guy. yes, he was a bit naive to get talked into publishing his online resource--that publisher must've wanted a cut into the HP profits--but to totally drag him through the mud like that. just cruel.
i guess we should be grateful that he wasn't forced to pull down HP Lex. small miracles.
Yes, I'm grateful for that, at least! It's a tremendous resource for us fic writers! I couldn't even count how often I've turned to it for this or that tiny piece of HP minutiae.
