I just looked up thanfiction on fanlore and the first paragraph alone was so much. Then I did a quick ctrl+f on the homicide mentioned and saw the way they updated their FFN profile in 2013.

I have known my fair share of dramatic people in my life, but thanfiction is an entire folio. holy fuck. the mind boggles.

I just read the fanlore page in curiosity and now I'm sick to my stomach. WTF. Just...WTF. :(

I did a deep dive on him about a year or two ago, reading through the blog archives of the people who were once involved with him, as well as a couple receipt blogs and things. Truly it is just WILD.

I saw a handful of the big things happen in semi real-time via other people on LJ talking about it when they happened, (the whole thing with the con, "his son, a sparrow" etc.) and yet for a long time didn't realize so many big drama-rific events centered on *the same person.*

Fandom cults sure are a bonkers fucking ride... And that isn't even getting into the fact that a woman was murdered and he did his best to capitalize on it for YEARS.

I had read some of this but not all of it and 100% didn't know he(?) started out in Voyager fandom, what the hell. That fandom is still fucked up 20+ years later. Makes me wonder if he had a nose for weirdness or was just really effective at bringing it with him.

Woah... I only read the introduction and that was enough for me :0 I've seen the name pop up in recent conversation but didn't realise they had quite such the history...

I saw the person in the current wank has a more meaty Fanlore page too, now!

Ah, yeah, well do I remember the time I saw someone mention an HP cult in passing, asked for details (assuming it would be bad), and was linked to that Fanlore article (and it was so much worse!). The mind does indeed boggle.
