Orson Scott Card flames J.K Rowling

Froofy-D · 05-01-2008, 02:36 PM

Card released this surprisingly merciless assessment of Rowling's lawsuit against the Harry Potter Lexicon website:

J.K. Rowling, Lexicon and Oz

I wouldn't mind knowing what's on the geocities he links, but its bandwidth was probably gone in about 5 mins.

That cunt had it coming.

Fuckin owned.

Awesome. Fuck her and the shitty books she writes. Also fuck people who defend them with "but the books got kids to read!". Beating children if they don't read gets them to read.

Rowling has nowhere to go and nothing to do now that the Harry Potter series is over. After all her literary borrowing, she shot her wad and she's flailing about trying to come up with something to do that means anything.

That's so money. I'm going to read Ender's Game again just to honor OSC.

Utterly and completely owned. I <3 Orson Scott Card.

Too bad she has talked about doing this since 2000. AND she said she was going to do this for charity back then as well. People are impressed with this guy? lol

Color me impressed.

I like Ender's Game as much as the next guy but OSC's new stuff is offensive.

That being said clearly Harry Potter is not original and fuck Rowling for sueing someone over making a reading companion for it.

Rowling has a very long history of being extremely litigious.

OSC's old stuff was amazing, but he sure went crazy. But admittedly his frankness and honesty in discussing his writing and his influences is extremely refreshing compared to Rowling.

Agraza · 05-01-2008, 04:00 PM

I liked Ender's Game. I don't care for his new stuff, but he is spot on in this attack. She is a dumb twat.

(Flashes back to the Dumbledore is Gay thread)

Quote:

It's like her stupid, self-serving claim that Dumbledore was gay. She wants credit for being very up-to-date and politically correct ? but she didn't have the guts to put that supposed "fact" into the actual novels, knowing that it might hurt sales.

Finally someone with some credibility sees that for what it was.
