Yes, everybody can fork BTC, ETH, LTC and most alts, because sources are on Github.
Is it worth for you as an end user? Most probably not.
Will it have some impact over LTC price? Most probably not.

Now with the subject of the day,
I don't doubt it that there will be a fork around 19th but be wise in an attempt to get more of these coins. It maybe something planned to get people buy ltc. And if that happens, they will dump on you at the same time so think twice.
