If they're softcover or in a language I can't read or are a weird size, I'm too obsessive compulsive to buy them for my collection.

]]> <![CDATA[Chinese Fake Harry Potter Is Awesome; Also A Dragon]]> What's wrong with fans writing their own books about a popular character they enjoy? Our effed up IP laws are effectively ruining everything it is to be a "fan".

When will these creative people realize that the creative people extending their works are the ones lining their pockets with green?

]]> <![CDATA[Chinese Fake Harry Potter Is Awesome; Also A Dragon]]> Ahhh, only in China can fanfic writing become a career of any sort. Not that it's a bad thing- in my opinion, 7 books isn't enough- not that these will ever be seen outside China without JK Rowling's lawyers breathing down the seller's neck.

Harry Potter and the Midlife Crisis
Harry Potter and the Half-dressed Trannie
Harry Potter and the Inconvenient Private Dick
and finally
Harry Potter and the Bellicose Divorce Lawyer.

]]> <![CDATA[Chinese Fake Harry Potter Is Awesome; Also A Dragon]]> Who is it that's writing these things? Do they have sweatshops full of people who majored in literature in college, only to realize that there's no way to apply a literature degree to any kind of lucrative career?

It's a real book, I swear.

]]> <![CDATA[Chinese Fake Harry Potter Is Awesome; Also A Dragon]]> I think the Chinese version of Harry Potter was cut short when they executed Voldemort...I mean Zheng Xiaoyu for taking bribes. So much for the Chinese release of book 7.

]]> <![CDATA[Chinese Fake Harry Potter Is Awesome; Also A Dragon]]> Oh man, I've got to get my hands on one of those. The excerpt from the "Overseas Students" book was hilarious.
In a week I'm sure they'll find out those books are made with lead paint chips though.
