Oh good Lord, how I wish I were in HP fandom. It sounds too dramatic to be true. SW needs such a scandal. But a less scary one. :S

ETA but I guess, come to think of it, the m_a list has had some interesting kerfluffles/trolls. But I think the most dramatic thing to ever happen was when the old list got TOS'd (for reasons unrelated to the list itself, if I remember correctly). Still, nothing compared to your average HP drama.

I know, spam.

( The thing on CNN about the guy who called AOL to cancel his account and was hassled by the customer service rep ('Can I talk to your dad?') made me recall an experience of last week-- )

Bwahaha, and I just saw a commercial for that "Head On" stuff. Their brilliant advertising strategy is to repeat "Head On! Apply directly to your forehead!" three times in a row, and that's basically the whole thing. I love it.

ETA And I'm still reading through all the HP-ness and have just learned the term "small name fan". Awwww. That's so cute! I'm proud to be a SNF.

Well, this is turning into a long, rambling post, but how many people actually use socks, do ya think? I don't mean, like, icon journals or anything, or well-known pseuds, but actual separate identities (perhaps one fannish, one RL). I have one-- averi. I used it to get into fandom friends-only places back when I didn't post anything fandomish in this journal. But-- I don't think I was really hiding anything. Is it any kind of a stretch to believe that averi and averii are the same person? ;) But is it really so uncommon? Am I a freak, too?
