Re: Favorite vintage internet/fandom drama

Fandom wank used to have the whole timeline and I think it might even be slightly tied in to the Ms. Scribe saga.

Heidi and Cassie Clare were part of a super tight knit clique of mean girls.

I liked fictionalley before I found out about their history and also how nonsensical they were about accepting fics. I had fic rejected and they only suggested to get a beta reader, but if you don't have lots of fandom friends, it's hard to find a reliable beta reader. I even found one, but fictionalley still would reject the story without giving me specific points.

Ahh. I only ever used it to read, which might be why I didn't know all the drama.

A lot of it happened behind closed doors and I found out a lot of the drama through fandom wank years later.

The ties to the Ms. Scribe saga came from Ms. Scribe's efforts to suck up to Cassie, Heidi and their circle. It ended with Ms. Scribe creating that troll journal, Fandom Scruples, where she threatened to report a whole bunch of smutfic writers to the FBI under something called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, unless they either took down their fic or password-protected it by a deadline she specified. She named herself along with Cassie, Heidi, and a lot of others on her blacklist. Nobody realized who was doing it.
