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.

HP fandom has more wank than you can shake a stick at. More wank than you can shake twenty sticks at. Lots of wank. It's annoying, and I try to stay far away from it. Charitygate, though, is the worst by far.

Sounds like. Man. I can only shake my head from afar.

I keep seeing it crop up and I keep waiting to be interested. I thought I was marginally inside the HP fandom line, because "of course everyone has read this" they keep saying. Erm. Not so much. Can't get up the energy.

M_A had trolls? Hmm. Never knew that.

Heh, I had so much fun reading it. Probably b/c I'm not in the fandom.

m_a has at least one rather persistant 'troll' (who goes by a couple of pseuds) who still crops up now and then. I dunno if she's technically a troll, but she writes very strange, very bad fanfiction and goes batshit at people onlist. Fun to watch.

In all honesty, the whole thing makes me sick to my stomach, not to mention 2897598325 times more paranoid than before. I know some of the people involved, and I like them okay, and it bothers me on several levels. I don't even know how to form an opinion beyond, "That's a whole lot of crazy, right there, yessirree". I'm peripherally in the HP fandom, and...

... thank God SW doesn't have drama like this. I'd go into hiding even more than I am right now.

I'm sure it's different when you know the people involved. Frankly, I'm just having fun going "look how crazy that fandom is!"

Never been to the JC forums then?

[penelyn.livejournal.com]

Ahaha. I only go there for the fanfic. The rest of the boards are too freaky.
