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.

I spent at least three hours reading it this afternoon (between bouts with the kids). It's really gripping stuff.
