It's MsScribeCassieeveryone wank!

Oh, here we go again. Enormous explosions of ancient kerfuffle seem to have become a monthly occurrence in Harry Potter fandom. Everyone seems to have broken out into a fit of memoir-writing. This time, someone's gone for the biggie: the entire Inner Circle, guest-starring all their friends. I was surprised to see that I've been in the fandom for as long as Heidi (summer 2000). I've no temptation to write anything though, as I was oblivious of most that went on.
In the entry below, I note that Crystalwank took place as long ago as April 2004. My years are pastede on yay.

And in other news, I'm having a day off. Closing the quarter, what's that? Actually there's no way we're going to get it done on Monday, or possibly even Tuesday. But right now I couldn't care less.

Wow! People have so much time on their hands. Those badpenny articles are like thesis. I shudder to think of the word count, and then the citations, the analysis, the thoroughness of it all.

There's a lot of talent there being... dunno... squandered on something that's really not that important.

Do these people work in menial government jobs or what? Time on their hands, constant low-level frustration, general smallness of mind... check, check, check.

The MsScribe stuff was just so amazingly bizarre and over the top that it was hillarious. This . . . this is just sad and quite pathetic.

Well, I suppose as hobbies go it keeps people off the streets and it's cheaper than knitting, but I'm getting quite bored with the cast of characters. Haven't any other fandoms got dirty laundry?

Hullo! :) I noticed you on [livejournal.com profile] feedback when you noted by Hornblower icon, so I clicked on your journal and noticed that we've got some things in common besides Hornblower, such as Star Wars and being INTP personality types and we have similar political views etc.. So I friended you. *waves* :)

I tried reading the msscribe thing a while back and I don't even think it was in English. Seriously, there was so much esoterica going on, I could barely make heads or tails out of it.

I suppose this is a whole new cottage industry within Potter fandom: the fan ficcer wangst tell-all!
