Perhaps you were all right and maybe JKR is unethical. Her statements regarding a few things and on her website have made me reconsider my high opinion of her. Lets talk about Hero worship for a moment and how I forgot my place in this world. It's clear to me that perhaps I placed too much faith in a person I didn't know and have never met. I

How do you intend to 'police' me? I'm doing nothing illegal. There is nothing in my fic that kids can't buy in a bookstore without EITHER parental permission OR ID--Jacqueline Carey, VC Andrews, Suetonius, the Anita Blake lady, Poppy Z Brite, even Mercedes the Lackwit...
