owlThanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday at the weekend; I am now better off by £80 and a small glass owl (I seem to be starting a collection).
Like half the rest of LJ, I have been enthralled over the last few days by the posts of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
charlottelennox. Most of the fun seems to be happening at bad_penny on JournalFen. It's like a traincrash. It makes Crystalwank look as simple as a toddler's tantrum.
It's pretty unbelievable thatmsscribe (dejaspirit) would go to such lengths for something as paltry as internet popularity, but if she's innocent, the coincidences frankly beggar belief. Then there's the theory that charlottelennox is msscribe, which is just silly.
The way to get well-known in fandom is to be likefernwithy, seviet or leelastarsky, producing quality fanworks and not making so much kafuffle it BRAKES TEH INTARWEBS.
Meh.

Date: 2006-06-19 07:32 pm (UTC)Well, it sounded more original as an excuse than "forgot your birthday or "belated greetings"
(blushes deeply)

It is fascinating reading, though.

Date: 2006-06-19 11:22 pm (UTC)And... wow. It really does boggle the mind that someone would go to such amazing lengths just for fandom fame and popularity. Imagine if she would've put all that time and energy into something worthwhile... Heck, if she would've put even just a fraction of all that time into it, she could've easily made real friends, without the need for manipulation. It's so sad, when you think about it.

Right. "Walk humbly with your God" and give to the fandom.

It does boggle the mind. I knew some of the anti-Ms Scribe version before now, but not all of it.

You're quoting my icon! :) Yeah, you're right. Shortcuts will only get you so much reputation; and even then, what satisfaction can you have in it, knowing that it's based in lies?
