Check this baby out:

Rowling Backs Potter Fan Fiction

Although... have to ask... why does SQ get a mention AND a link? Isn't that a little partisan? Would it not have been rather more diplomatic and give FAP a mention? And FF.net? Way to make us all look like sub-literate moronic 9 year olds.

ETA: You know that 'should the trio be replaced' thing? Well, that's also on BBC News.... complete with a mention of Stockard Channing being 33 when she was Rizzo. Are the BBC checking out LJ these days?

Gah, I felt the same way when I saw that link. Why does SQ always seem to get article mentions these days? I agree FA would be a much better example of Fanfiction quality and such.

I dunno about quality so much as fairness. Everything is allowed at FA except bad SPaG (Although it's not unknown there), whereas almost everything is not allowed at SQ. That's not a bad thing necessarily, but they shouldn't be used as the example of everything the fanfic community is.
