This is a different anon, though I am friends with Anon #1.
I was in the same situation as her, and wish only to say OMFG, if I learned one thing from that situation it's to stay away from people who thrive on manufactured drama. This BNF ex-friend was very talented and deserved to have people pay attention to them, but mother of god they stirred up an incredibly amount of chaos for their own entertainment, a lot of which then spilled into our RL friendships.
