Early Tuesday morning it was brought to our attention that
She quickly released a statement:
"Jules is fictional. She's a character in a novel I've been writing - a younger version of the novel character - and I made this blog to flesh her out, to see if I could get into her head. Along the way, she became a sort of escape for me".
Thus, she was removed from her responsibilities as a moderator for not being real.
...because the mention of MsScribe sent be back to the FW wiki and I reread all that shit, and read that article on the Stranger that was posted, and now I've spent 3 hours following links down the rabbit hole of the internet.
This was some pretty unfeeling shady stuff. :/
including me... I'm so confused.

Well, this is LJ. Good decision by you folks, but somehow it doesn't seem very strange.
This week has been deemed fucking weird in my books
Good times.
oops!
It's just really unsettling.
And I feel really terrible for all the people this person "befriended" and confided in under false pretenses. What a horrible betrayal.
anyone want to give it a read? i threw it together over the course of just a couple hours last night and then did one round of quick edits, so it's still really rough, but i'm generally happy with it - http://tinyurl.com/avzp6q9
I feel so badly for anyone who was betrayed by this person or anyone else like "her".
Suggesting she likely would have kept this up had she not been called out.

I'm not flabbergasted that someone would do something like this, because it's the internet and humanity and wherever the twain shall meet, et cetera, but I've never actually encountered it personally before, even peripherally. And then I got sucked into reading the entire account on msscribe, also, and I.
Internet. What are you.
Does this mean her book will have a chapter on the trials and tribulations of ontd_p moderating?
I did think sometimes her comments about Australia were a bit hard to identify with...like her fight with mirhanda. I NEVER would have suspected anything like this, though
There are not enough gifs on the Intertubes...
