God loves Orlando Bloom. And so do I.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

What is even happening?
Kita's got a post on her LJ this week (I got to it via metafandom) on Batshit Crazies We have Known.I read some of kita's entry after you linked it, Consuela. Wow. Some people really have gotten some extra-scary with their crazy, too.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Maybe I'm jaded, but it doesn't actually surprise me that a fan would over-identify with Elijah Wood and delude herself that she's turning into him.
However, the revelation that other people bought this and continued to defend her against detractors? Makes me want to buy extra locks.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
She's been photographed (maybe recently) dressing up as Legolas, on H'wood Blvd, I think.
She showed up in '04 or '05, whenever the most recent HP film came out, dressed up as Harry and standing in line. What a freakin' loon. The difference in her from msscribe is that VB was, well, crazy.
kita's thread was morbidly fascinating. And made me glad that I've never, ever had an experience like that.

If I only had a brain...
Will the fun NEVER stop?
Long ago, Cassandra Claire wrote Ron/Ginny (ugh.)
She plagiarized the very first paragraph of Gone With The Wind.
I hope to hell her real publisher is Googling the manuscript she turns in...

Art Crawl!!!
Was that the big Cassandra Claire plagiarism scandal? Or was that something else?

Yowza. This just keeps going and going. I cannot tell you how much time I wasted yesterday and last night. And the fun keeps on coming!
I vividly remember CharityWank, and I do remember seeing something about icongate at the time, though not being an HP person I didn't really follow it.

Pretty sure this one is new. Though god knows I could be wrong.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Quick question - could someone link me to one of the fic "remix" challenges/exchanges that was done in the past year or so?
Thanks!

The big Cassandra Claire scandal was her plagiarizing paragraphs from Pamela Dean, who later gave retroactive permission.
