Ms. Scribe's Biography

The Most Interesting Biography You'll Read, whether you're in the HP fandom or not. I spent approximately seven hours in this fandom and I still find this awesome.

Just finished reading the whole thing so far. It's amusing and terrifying, what people do for fandom. I understand the whole "fandom is fucking serious business thing" thing from this. Just... wow. There folk were/are crazy. Makes you very happy to not be in the HP fandom, eh?

But, really, fascinating. Obviously a ton of work went into it- accurately documenting around 5 years of fandom wars. And it's just interesting overall. And it sheds some light on where the fannish hostility came from, which is something I've always been curious about.

So.

Claire was THE big name fan all the other BNFs wanted to go up to be. Take Shalott, add Pru, multiply by Madelyn and you're still not close to the power of CC. Hell, I was in anime fandoms at the time and I'd heard of her.
