OH MY GOD. I just read this comment in the bad_penny saga:
Tripzy, a Draco/Hermione 'shipper, decides to send JKR a letter explaining how she got it all wrong.
Is it wrong that I want to buy tons of Harlan Ellison anthologies and pimp them to Tripzy?
... between channelling the imaginary spirits of imaginary hobbits, growing magical penises, and appearing on an actual milk carton...

....no, I got nuthin'. But I'm clearly going to have to read this saga. Wow.
Oh, ha. I met Victoria Bitter at a con once, before she pulled all this. At the time, I remember thinking, "She's a bit off, isn't she?"
I think you win the understatement of Ever award, shrift.
I had to reread the high points of the Victoria Bitter thing. I have to say, between channelling the imaginary spirits of imaginary hobbits, growing magical penises, and appearing on an actual milk carton, she's still got msscribe beat.
Okay, that's what I thought, too. The MsScribe one seems more mean, or something. The whole MsS thing is so deliberate.
For batshit insanity, literally incredible fandom events, 'shipper wars, embarrassing the fandom with its VIPs and actual bilking of money, I think the VB thing really can't be topped, unless the exact same events play out that way again, and end in mpreg.

In my defense, at the time she'd only made a brazillion bad Lord of the Rings vids about hobbits with terrible bootleg source, wandered about the convention in her pjs, and rambled nonsensically with a bad Scottish accent.
If she'd grown a magical penis while I was standing next to her in the hallway, I would have hopped on Bill the Pony and done a Paul Revere around the convention. "The Batshit Crazies are coming! The Batshit Crazies are coming! Don't give them any money! If you do, we'll never get rid of them!"

Wow. Fandom: it's where the crazy lives.
Yeah. The penis thing. It still hurts my head to think of that too hard.
she was a brilliant livejournaller
Yes! Totally.
Lord of the Rings vids about hobbits with terrible bootleg source,
Would she have made a Willow/Legolas vid from bootleg source? I have one like that but I don't know who the vidder is. I actually have two Willow/Legolas vids, but the other uses more stills (with bad photoshop) and is set to country music.

Well, she seems to be channeling Harry Potter these days. Maybe she'll be FTMPreg with the spirit of whoever it was that got killed off in the last book. (Someone got killed off, right?)

Wow. I'm just reading the espresso version of the VB wankapalooza and - just - wow.
Mind you, she's a surprisingly attractive crazy person, fwiw.
She is, as both a girl, and a feyish boy.
(Someone got killed off, right?)Yep.
