Re: Anatomy of a BNF

[(Anonymous)]

I witnessed the rise and fall of my tiny fandom's BNF. I was on the outside but knew enough of the inner circle that I was regularly regaled with blow by blow accounts of teh drama.

Here's how it went.

This BNF's rise to status was paved with a talent for writing lively and engaging fic, and having ample time to write and interact in fandom spaces. Bit of a cliche, but she was a rich childless housewife with few RL worries and ample time for hobbies.

She quickly became the main voice of the fandom, four or five of the other very talented writers flocking around her and forming a little clique, a little following of yes-men. Once she started getting all of her feedback from her clique her writing quickly went down hill.

Add to that her and her clique were loud and obnoxious in fandom spaces and it quickly escalated to people they didn't like being bullied out of the fandom.

Luckily, there were lots of people not interested in being involved in this wank fest so we upped sticks and moved to a new community. With no drama to feed off, her interest slowly waned and eventually she drifted away.
