So I bought a book recently called Mapping the World of Harry Potter

It has the most amusing little banner at the top of the book (the title is in the middle): "Purveyors of Aids to Literary Mischief Makers is proud to present the highly unauthorized work"

And it's subtitle is "Science Fiction and Fantasy Authors Explore the Bestselling Fantasy Series of All Time".

The chapters are:
1) Harry Potter and the Young Man's Mistake by Daniel P. Moloney
2) The Dursleys as Social Commentary by Roberta Gellis
3) To Sir, With Love by Jocye Millman
4) Harry Potter and the End of Religion by Marguerite Krause
5) It's All About God by Elisabeth DeVos
6) Hermione Granger and the Charge of Sexism by Sarah Zettel
7) Neville Longbottom: The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Martha Wells
8) Why Dumbledore Had to Die by Lawrence Watt-Evans
9) From Azkabanto Abu Ghraib by Adam-Troy Castro
10) Ich Bin Ein Hufflepuff by Susan R. Matthews
11) Harry Potter as Schooldays Novel by James Gunn
12) Harry Potter and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Counselor by Mercedes Lackey
13) The Proper Wizard's Guide to Good Manners by Roxanne Longstreet Conrad
14) Why Killing Harry Is the Worst Outcome for Voldemort by Richard Garfinkle

Susan Matthews! Eeeee! Thank you!

I'd already decided to keep an eye out for this book, but I didn't know Susan had done a chapter for it!

Glad I could help! :) BTW, I *love* your icon!
I'd been keeping an eye out for this book because Mercedes Lackey is my favorite author!

I'm afraid to admit I haven't read any of Susan Matthews' work, but I might just have to go out and pick up a book or two at the library.
I can never have too many good authors to read! :D

Susan started out as a fanfic author years ago. I knew her work from Blake's 7 fanfic. The first book in her Jurisdiction series is, I believe, An Exchange of Hostages. Some people find it difficult, as her protagonist, Andrej Koscuisko, is a torturer. But she's a very good writer.

And my icon? I was looking for a image of a flabbergastation mark (a period with a 360 circle of exclaimation points) but found my pretty pink point instead.
