    Hi dear readers and translators:

    I have been obsessed in a fan fiction of HP (Harry Potter). I'm willing to traslate the title as "A story of kidding the Mary Sue" or "Kidding the Mary Sue". It is a warm, happy and nice story, so I want to share it.

    But I haven't saw any fan fiction here, so should I pick it up?

    As it is based on the famous novel, both the author and I do not owned it.The charactors and settings belong to J.K.Rolling, will I get into any law suit?

    Yeah there's alot of good fanfics out there... If you want some good crossover ones hit me up.

    To the OP, go ahead and TL it, but don't get donations... HP is copyrighted out the yinyang
