Courtesy of wank_report....
The not quite so triumphant return of Victoria Bitter.

In which we discover that VB is the writer of a very popular HP fanfic, and *GASP* is planning a con for fans of said fic to get together. By con, I mean "convention" and not "swindle" although, who knows, it could be one and the same again.

Did you know that VB, in his/her* new fandom persona, has "fought with three different paramilitias", "never thought about an ideal job outside of the military", "has a heart condition that gives me less than ten years to live", and is super chivalrous: "Even after coming nearer than I ever have to being destroyed by a woman I loved for almost seven long years, even after she took my son from me without so much as a goodbye and left me destitute for someone she'd been seeing behind my back, I still hold no grudge against womankind."

All these fun facts and more to be had here. Deleted, but screencapped here, and html here.

(Look, I know there's no wank yet, but it's VB and Turimel, so let's take a nice stroll down memory lane.)

*~~am not sure if VB is actually trans or if IDing as male is part of the scam, so covering my bases here.~~ ETA, again: Okay, folks, I've been away the whole day, and I've got back to an exploding inbox, and I haven't had the chance to go through the whole thing, but I wanted to address this issue.

I was trying to err on the side of caution in regards to past actions, but doesn't matter if I'm unsure or not, using female pronouns or referring to VB/thanfiction as "s/he" "it" or "s/h/it" is disrespectful and hurtful to other transfolk, and I apologize for this. I'm sorry that my choice of pronouns has cause people distress.

So please stick to the male pronouns. Regardless of if this is VB's identity or just another grift, it stands less of a chance of hurting people if you use the male pronouns.

Also, anons, tread carefully. I turned anon commenting on so everyone could play, so let's not ruin it, okay?

ETA, ONCE AGAIN: Anon commenting is off. And please read this. Thank you, white_serpent.

Male pronouns, please. No more transfail, thanks.

ETA: Oh boo, beat to the punch. Sorry, folks.

ETA #2: Other post deleted! Have fun here. Also, anon commenting is ON, since there was an anon at wank_report who seemed to have more details on this.

ETA: #3: More links, from the comments (thank you, lovely wankas!):

	I'm surprised that I haven't seen any comments on Thanfiction's icons yet. The vaunted lightning-shaped scar. It's not a series of lies and con jobs, it's blarney. Portentous. But even more ominous is the next one: Keywords: "i do not regret" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That lightning scar looks like what happens when you draw on yourself with a protractor or something. Unless you were hit with a Killing Curse but were protected by your mother's Love Shield, how the hell does one end up with something like that? Has he ever said? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't know about VB/thanfiction, but my mom has a similar but a bit more prominent scar on her forehead. It's from falling and cracking her skull when she was a child. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't know, but I'll be sure to try it out sometime. I hope it will, as she unfortunately lacks any other ~special~ magical abilities, and my grandma doesn't remember ever letting a Dark Lord near her when she was a baby. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"i do not regret" You also don't know how to speak Irish.¹ Or, wait, I'm sorry - maybe that's just blarney. ¹Er... I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, fellow countrymen; I haven't even retained the traditional cúpla focal since the Leaving. It should be orm, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My Irish is elderly and as my housemate will tell you, patchy at best, but that does not look like any grammatic sentence I ever saw. I'd ask my wee sister, but then I'd have to explain all this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Based on what little I know of Irish, it appears he looked up the words individually in an Irish-English dictionary and just put them together. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a few fadas missing there. Níl aiféala agam. I have no "aiféala" I've never seen the word before, but since regret is an emotion the phrase should be Níl aiféala orm. There's no regret on me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You're right. Because JK Rowling totally didn't write Neville as a BAMF. That's just you. He definitely wasn't a BAMF in canon. wtf. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think it's used for any character who suddenly becomes much more powerful and/or capable than they have been before. "BAMF" is the sound made by a teleporting person in Marvel comics. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I can't quite put my finger on it, but that baby icon pisses me off somehow. It's probably tied to "Andy's" claim that his evil ex "stole" his child, which pisses me off for many recognizable reasons (let's start with "playing into the stereotype of mothers as manipulative harpies who seek to deprive fathers of their rights" and work down to "appropriating the pain of people who have actually lost children." Possibly seeing a small child in the ER today while I was there with my spouse is not helping.

	I keep trying, and I still can't see that scar as anything approaching a lightning bolt. A Cyrillic Г, maybe, or a [. Maybe it's from when somebody stapled him in the forehead for trying that "should be kissed well and often" thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Y'know, if he wanted to keep up his facade as a Photoshop wizard and artistic master, he could have at least learned to outline text. Ow, my eyes. The 'look at my scar, I didn't just catch myself on a coffee table two minutes ago' icon could use it especially. (Reply to this)(Parent)
