Countdown until someone at Leaky spins this as meaning there was no kind of agreement about the new Lexicon. Somehow that crack legal team that got all the praise over there would have signed a binding agreement about fees and costs but somehow overlooked the book they came close to agreeing on just prior to the judge's ruling.

*LOL*

Well, I guess they are praying for a January Surprise.

Edited to Add:

I've used that "open at the close" icon alot lately, so I should tout the icon maker - my friend Mimble at mimble_icons

Yes, they are holding out hope that the Lexicon will violate the judge's ruling. Does anyone seriously think CLLA didn't see this book before this was signed?

It's time to roll up the sidewalks, lock up the doors, go home and listen to the crickets chirping.

Or, since it's winter almost everywhere ~ watch the sun go down, have some hot cocoa, and go to sleep. :)

Some farewell songs ~ the end is near, but we'll go out with nostalgic music and eye candy:

Days of the Future Past

On the Road

I love that song - Closing Time. This puts me to mind of the end of Yellow Submarine where the Beatles say there have been some Blue Meanies spotted outside the theatre. There is only one way to go out then - singing!!

[rattlesnakeroot]

That's a funny image! The blue meanies! I think I've seen them somewhere, haven't you?

We now return you to your regularly scheduled analysis of JK Rowlings' writings as English Lit

I can't find it on youtube, but the right moments for the Appelants withdrawing their case forever are:

John Adams, quietly triumphant, saying "It's done", upon the Resolution of Independence being passed in "1776" (1972 film version starring William Daniels)

From the same movie, Abigail, Adams having accepted John's instruction, and having delivered saltpeter to Congress... delivers the goods. JK Rowling triumphant!

I prefer this one! :)

We're getting down to the last hours in the B movie monster of a forum thread. In the spirit that summarizes the "veneer of civilization" that permeated the thread we had a fan fiction author shredded to bits for having the sheer audacity of hoping to publish in book form what is already published on the net. Hoping to gain the support of those who spent over a year ripping apart one who dared publish a reference guide, the fan fic author threw the reference guide author under the bus to no avail. In a moment of sanity the fan fic author realized that there was no winning with people who just want to hate

At the same time fandom websites are losing member participation, the short companion book of fairy tales sells out in 1 week and probably for the first time in history a book of three fairy tales is No 1 on the best seller's list.

I admit, I was wrong. There remain a lot of Harry Potter fans in this world who are dying to read anything relating to Harry Potter.

This group of people are just waiting to be stolen. It is worth the risk of being sued. I think it is time for some agressive writer and publisher to take a shot at this group of readers with a fiction series of a different set of witches and wizard that credits the events and characters of the Harry Potter series as having actually occurred, but isn't a sequeal of the events and characters of the Harry Potter series. It would probably be safest to even change countries of the series.

I am waiting to be stolen. A refreshing idea is something new. Twilight has been a very successful series, not in the same ball park as the HP series but a fun read for the escapist. Would love to stumble over a new set of books that can create the rabid enthusiasm that HP has but not built on HP. I have been knocking off a lot of books the last few years (have stooped to listening to audiobooks on my Ipod to hide the constant reading), lots of them very good, but nothing that has touched me like these books. One great thing about fan sites is the comparisons of HP to other books that I've not read encourages me to give them a go.

I'm not so sure fandom is getting smaller, maybe it is in transition as this series is complete.

I'm not sure it could quite compete with the rabid enthusiasm of HP, but The Dresden Files are good fun. And there are 10 of them, so plenty of canon to work with.
