I'm visiting my mate Andy in London, and last night we got on to the topic of the Harry Potter books (he's known for ages about my slash obsession). Andy was telling me how much he loved OotP and how disappointed he was by HBP.

Fair enough, everyone is entitled to thier opinions. But we discussed futher and it turns out that Andy got his copy of HBP as a ebook pirated from god knows where. So he starts talking about some of the plot elements and how it reads like bad fanfiction. At this point I ask if I can take a look at the ebook.

Guess what?

It is bad fanfiction!! With original characters and everything!

I'm not really sure what it says for JKR that Andy couldn't distinguish between the two...

Seriously? That's excellent :)

...is it slash or just random really bad fanfic... *Grins*

Hope you're enjoying yourself in London, give Andy a big hug from me... (Dom says hi too)

Hope the weather in London is better than it is here!

And please see that Andy gets a proper copy of HBP before you leave. :-)
