Strangely, this is the second "Less Wrong" article I ran into in the
last hour. The first was a piece of supposed Harry Potter fan fiction
(I think it's just using the HP-verse to explore some argument in
narrative form) I ran into in the comment section in Charles Stross'
blog.
No, your parenthesis is quite wrong. Yudkowsky is doing nothing less
than rewriting _Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone_ from top
to bottom, changing things so that they're more pleasing to him.

I'm working my way through it now.It's brilliant - yesterday it kept
me awake up until 2:00 AM. The reason I'm wary of calling it fan is
fiction because of the "fan" part of fan fiction, not because it
wasn't proper fiction.

You're either a fan or a masochist to do that much work over a series.
