Interesting. Rules are rules and to make it as fair as possible to the whole reading public, only those eligible should compete. Think of it as the TriBardic Tournament with an age circle...................

Speaking of rules.......
What's your take on JKR's suit re: copyright violations alleged? Orson Scott Card has a very informative and interesting take on the matter, if you are interested. See: http://greensboro.rhinotimes.com/Art...on_and_Oz.html

It won't matter about the competition though as, JKRowling is publishing the book anyway.

Although I like Orson Scott Card very much, and I generally find his opinions to be spot-on.... I'm not sure I'm 100% with him on this one. I think some of what he says in that article is right on, but I felt that he took it waaaaaay too far.

Too far how? That there was no copyright infringement, or that Ms Rowling has changed her positions as she's become more successful?
