Term that the readers of the Archie's Sonic The Hedgehog comic use to refer to the lawsuit between Archie Comics and the former writer Ken Penders, who copyrighted all his original characters from the comic. The lawsuit resulted in the removal of a large chunk of characters and back story from the comic, which leaded to a reboot. More specifically, the removal all the original characters and stories not created by the current head writer IanFlynn.
A somewhat well-known author of surreal horror fiction from Germany, Lennart Poettering is mostly known for writing overly long and confusing works such as Pulsations of Autophilia (a tragedy about a sluggish autistic teenager who is murdered while fucking his uncle's Porsche and comes back as a ghost to seek vengeance) and Systems Down (about a server administrator who finds himself locked in the server room after closing time with a horrible, memory-corrupting abomination).
I picked up this new book at Barnes and Noble, but it says that Lennart Poettering is required reading so I'm taking it back.
