Comments GinnyMarie came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 08:28PM to say: Damn...though you might also want to look at it as someone seeing her writing to be good enough to be actually published...but it is also horrible, naturally. Im glad it got straightened out, and I cant believe that someone would take a fanfiction story and publish it, even though the actual story is absolutely fabulous. Glad its all straightened out, though, and to make the statement... I DO NOT CONDONE THE FAKE BOOK SEVEN! thank you Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 08:46PM to say: The situation is not straightened out. Even though the truth is known by us and other HP websites, I'm sure those bookstores are not going to stop selling the fake books and drying up their profits. griffindorechicky101 came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 08:50PM to say: it kindda funny but its really sad to all thows who have boght teh book but most likely exciteing fo r the HTOUR BECAUSE SHE OG TTHER BOIOOK PUBLISHED GinnyMarie came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 09:02PM to say: Oh, its not straightned out...didnt realize that...not good then...not at all Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 09:09PM to say: One would think that the bookstores would be experienced enough to recognize that the hard copies are not coming from established publishers. The same argument can be made about those said manufacturers as well. It is difficult to believe that the stores and book producers would risk their reputations and clientele by working with something outside their norm. Even writers who self-publish would find it hard to sell anywhere other than a hardware store. That said, I am the first to admit a serious lack of knowledge about the business end of writing. I hope that it all works out. Eric B. Kwisatz Haderach came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 09:09PM to say: I wonder what the implications for fanfiction sites will be. I can foresee that rules may be tightened after this is all over. I imagine Melindaleo must feel really strange about this. First and foremost it gives negative attention none of us are waiting for. On the other hand though, at least they liked her work well enough... What will happen to those bookshops that sold these books? Every insider knows the publication date. Breanie came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 09:14PM to say: very amusing and sad at the same time - i hope eveything gets worked out:D ginnyp_harryp came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 09:35PM to say: im not sure if i should laugh or cry... Miss Radcliffe came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 09:55PM to say: Well of all the fanfictions I've read, The Seventh Horcrux would definitely be the first one I'd expect to be mistaken as JKR's Deathly Hallows. This is an interesting situation because it publisizes how great Harry Potter fanfiction is while also indicating plagiarism. I hope everything works out well for SIYE and Melindaleo. AnitaB came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 10:51PM to say: I've been watching this story in HarryLatino.com they have pictures of the cover and you can read next to the 'seventh' book name the word FIC so at least they're saying it's not real. What I don't understand, it's the relation between Melindaleo's story and the spanish fan one.... is 'La sombra de la serpiente' the spanish version of 'The seventh Horcrux'? Because my sister read the story, and she showed it to me, the spanish girl claimed the story of her own..... so we'd be talking about plagiarism sapphire200182 came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 02:01AM to say: It says a lot for Melindaleo's writing if someone actually thought s/he could pass it off as JKR's...of course, Kwisatz Haderach is right in saying this spells doom and gloom... P.S. Trust Kwisatz Haderach, in the Dune series he can see the future... :D Kwisatz Haderach came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 02:32AM to say: I have tried to consult my Inner Eye but the Powers that Be have clouded my vision. I guess we'll have to wing it. Cheers for the confidence though sapphire! Always appreciated. melindaleo came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 07:24AM to say: Thanks very much everyone for the support. I honestly don't know what to make of this! I, too, worried about the effect on fanfiction, but I've spoken to someone at one of JKRs publishers, and she assures me not to worry that "non-commercial, appropriate fan fiction is allowable," It's this other stuff that's thrown me for a loop. We'll see what happens today... rdprice29 came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 07:37AM to say: This is completely insane! Melinda, I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope it works out for the best for you. I can't believe some creep would (a) steal your work and pretend it's theirs (although we know these leeches try to do this all too often) and (b) then would actually try to pass your work off as DH and defraud who knows how many people. Shame on those booksellers who should certainly know better. I'm glad JKR's publishers have told you now to worry, and I hope they keep you blameless in all of this, as we all know you are. *hugs* sapphire200182 came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 10:08AM to say: Kwisatz Haderach: It's the spice, Paul...the geriatric spice! Phew, good thing Melindaleo went to see the publisher...though of course, I still worry.... St Margarets came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 10:26AM to say: Melinda, you don't *need* this kind of reward for all of your hard work! Of course, it will all be for naught once July 21 rolls around - and those people will be exposed. In the meantime, I think you're doing the right thing in how you're handling the situation. Hang in there. *hugs* nenes coffee came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 11:44AM to say: I am really this has happened to you Melindaleo. I've follewed your story and loved it. I think I remember some news I heard on the radio when the last book came out, that in China, and that is as it seems one of the places this fake is sold, there were many fakes around. 20 or so books sold as original "new" material. And that the publishers and attorneys were trying to stop the whole thing, but they said it was like fighting the windmills. djbe came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 12:40PM to say: Kinda cool actually for that author to have his/her story published :-P Could be a launch for a nice career if some publishers think he/she has talent... monkeyfish came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 07:04PM to say: Another vote of confidence here for Melinda. SH is a brilliant piece of work but you've always shown the utmost respect for JKR and made it clear that you're playing in her sandbox for pleasure and nothing more. Hold your head high, you've done nothing wrong and have been handling this with grace and professionalism! CHEERS! emmamoonpotter came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 08:20PM to say: Melinda, I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. If you need anything, just drop me an email or grab me on IM. It's awful that you have to worry like this. cowboy came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.19 - 08:29PM to say: Melinda, I've said in a few reviews of your stories that I think they're as good as JKR's. Imitation is the best form of flattery. Keep sending stories please. Leiselily came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.20 - 04:55AM to say: Meilinda, I am sorry for all the grief you have got over this, and I hope it turns out well for you in the end. I have to say my immediate reaction was that I could understand how people were fooled. As I said in many reviews, it's a brilliant story and could pass for JKR. I didn't mean for someone to actually try it though! I can't believe those bookshops would be taken in though, they must have guessed, and thought they could make a quick buck. Surely the whole world knows the release date of the 7th book? melindaleo came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.20 - 08:19AM to say: Aww, thanks very much! You guys are making me have to blink really hard! The support from everyone across the fandom has been amazing, so, again, thanks very much! Ginnyrules came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.20 - 08:56AM to say: Hey, wow, this was a surprise to read. I had thought it was a hoax reading about it elsewhere, but this makes me realise that,,, WOW! Anyone my question is, and this could be important, is who exactly was publishing this book and who was receiving the proceeds if it claimed to be JK but she was not getting profit, yet people were buying the book? See where Im coming from? Where did the publics money go here hmm? Anyway well done on a fabulous fic melindaleo! Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.20 - 03:10PM to say: Ginnyrules - I can imagine a basement print shop made the books and a variety of small book stores are selling the books. It's probably not worth JKR's big publishing company to go after them in a lawsuit. The money went into the store owner and printshop owners' pockets, that's where. Cassie Payne came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.20 - 09:34PM to say: Oh, dear. All we can do is pray there is some kind of silver lining for you at the end of this. Hang in there. You've covered your bases, and it should work out OK in the end. (I know, it's the middle you worry about!) kauthor came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.21 - 01:20AM to say: My only question is Has JKR read your work, and did she comment on the fanfiction privately? mordred came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.21 - 12:21PM to say: So, I guess with all the recent notices of plagiarism, this is probably the worst. I wish there was something we could do to help, but all I can say is how sorry I am that it happened to you Melindaleo. You're a good writer, so don't let this stop you. CruciareMors came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.23 - 11:40AM to say: These people really have no morals. Not only do they infringe (?) copyright rules, but they also do so by plagiarising a fairly well-known fanfiction and putting its author in trouble. Melinda, I know this doesn't count as much, nor will it solve your situation, but you have all my support. Daksian came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.24 - 10:06PM to say: Just another voice of support for you Melinda. You are completely innocent of any wrong-doing in this matter. So, while it may be a bit uncomfortable, enjoy the admittedly backhanded compliment that your work is so strong that it can be passed off as the real book 7. Regardless, it hasn't changed my enjoyment of your work one iota. jing came out of the woodwork on 2018.06.25 - 03:23AM to say: basketball shoeskevin durant shoesmichael kors outlettom ford

QwayMelqnu came out of the woodwork on 2007.04.18 - 08:19PM to say:
Wow, looks like SIYE and Melindaleo are gonna be getting a lot more publicity. I hope it all gets straightened out soon. I'd hate to see a good fanfiction author get in trouble for something they didn't do.
