Hey, can drama from fanfiction authors count here? I discovered this video about Msscribe, who's infamous in the Harry Potter fandom for dragging Gryffindor Tower, Sugar Quill, and Fiction Alley among others along for a wild con ride involving evangelists going to war against smutwriters (such as Cassandra Clare) and slash fans in the early-2000s. Or something like that, it's really crazy and I'm trying to wrap my head around this video that goes into
great detail about what happened.
If anyone who's familiar with this can help sum this up, that'd be wonderful because
my brain this is nuts.
EDIT: You can watch the one-hour video, or you can read the entire archived blog about this which will lead you down a deep rabbit hole that'll take you about the same time to read through as it is to watch the video.
The Ms.Scribe Story
EDIT 2: Okay... now that my brain's hurting
less, the best TL;DR way to describe this is some grown-ass woman duped people for years with multiple sock-puppet accounts claiming she's been sent racist remarks and "Y'all need Jesus!" messages from supposed-evangelists angry over smut for asspats so she could become a mod for a fanfiction forum. Just... Harry Potter, man.
