Today, I let a friend read a draft of the novel I'm writing. She claimed the antagonist is blatantly based on her, and threatened to sue me if I don't pay her royalties. The antagonist is an ancient, insane goblin witch. I guess I see now how this confusion could arise. FML

I doubt she would want to prove in front of a judge that she's an insane goblin witch, even if she is. You'll be fine.

Now that would be a horrible waste of court time.

I've seen worse. McDonald's getting sued for too hot coffee, a park sued by a lady because she stepped in dog shit and chuck Norris suing law and order for using the trademark names for his left and right legs

Is the goblin witch a greedy bitch that threatens her victims to give her money? That'd be ironic.

Uhh... Not to mention that's not even a term of publish for fiction stories... Unless she has some secrets to share about a magical world she intends to prove real, while convincing you to I lush it as a tell-all... What a nut job.

She should let her spend her money on the lawsuit just to be able to laugh at her when the judge throws her out of their courtroom on her hiney.

28, have you ever seen the injuries that resulted from that coffee spill? I would sue too if I had 3rd degree burns due to the coffee being that hot!

50, coffee that is hot enough to leave third degree burns to the bone? You should look up the pictures. It's pretty horrifying.

In the court hearing they said that in order to cause burns like that the coffee had to be roughly the same temperature as your radiator after a 5 hour drive. That's why she won even though she was at fault for spilling it on herself.

And even though she won an obsene amount, she only took what covered her hospital bills.

An ancient, insane goblin witch? That is a serious case of low self esteem.

She might be trying to say that you based the goblin's characteristics on her. Even if you did, she's probably not entitled to anything. Your friend is probably just joking. In an actual court of law, her case will only end up losing.

I doubt she would go up to a judge and explain how she would be similar to a goblin witch, but that's just me.

Just wants the money you'll be collecting when it goes for sale. Something tells me she's either jealous, or worried you'll become successful while she.... does whatever she does. In other words, she be crazy.
