Ms. Scribe
Wow. Just...wow. I read charlottelennox's account two days ago, and my jaw is still somewhere in the region of my feet. Who has the time to mastermind such complex exercises in nastiness - and on such a shoddy motive?
Douglas Adams wrote about this - how, in the great legends a man would sell his soul for all the knowledge of the cosmos and pleasures of the flesh, whereas nowadays the going rate for a soul is nice suburban house and a number one single (maybe.) His words have come into my mind many times over the last few days.
I mean, really, causing all that stress and fuss just to be friends with the 'BNF's? That hardly seems worthy of all Ms Scribes near diabolic brilliance in manipulating and injuring innocent bystanders. I admit I wasn't in fandom back then (I used to visit Gryffindor Tower occasionally, but that was it) but...well, I'd liked to think that if I was going to cause havoc on such a huge scale that I'd do it for good, not evil.
