fanficrants. It's been a while.

maiyri rants about how someone (supposedly) left a long and rather mean-spirited review to a twelve-year-old's fanfic, then goes on to tell how how she bravely defended against the author's attack on this review and received an asterisk-filled reply for her troubles. fanficrants responds by saying she'd been a wee bit rude.

She makes another post the same day, complaining that no one gave her anything useful. It is at this point that she is banned.

But wait, that's not all! It turns out the whole thing was secretly a social experiment for her psychology class. The mods LOL.

But was it? (EDIT: Journal deleted, caps here) Perhaps she was simply poking fun at fandom in general, or perhaps she's just a doof. The world may never know, and since she doesn't seem to want to reply to the comments I doubt it's anything useful.

Bonus not-apology the next post over,(EDIT: caps here) just to round this out.

EDIT: The matter's discussed on ffrantsrants here, here (where it seems the girl being ranted about found FFR, unfortunately, and is now quitting fanfiction), here, and here.

SECOND EDIT: Oh, and this is totally not her defending herself anonymously. Nuh uh.

EDIT THE MOTION PICTURE: And now she's deleted her LJ, along with her multiple ff.net accounts. Apparently someone just can't take criticism.

EDIT AND THE HACKERS OF LJ: And she's somewhat back, after both her accounts and LJ were mysteriously deleted by hackers.
