Fascinating Fandom story

[gategrrl]

merylemon found this ( http://www.journalfen.net/users/charlottelennox/784.html ) fascinating journalistic story about a specific fan in Harry Potter fandom. I've no idea if this person is still active in it, but from what someone says in a comment after section 8 of the story, she still is.

I highly recc this. It's thorough, it's interesting, it's an eye-opener about sociopathic fannish behavior, and how people react and are played very adroitly by someone like this person.

Whoa.

Whoa, and I'll raise you ten Holy Shits. Have you gotten far into it?

I'm going to have to reread it, to get the prestory straight, and all those names. Fact IS stranger than fiction.

I got far enough to realize that little chippy who went psycho everywhere about OS people (banning them from her archive and whatnot) was pretty sane by comparison. ;)
