Update on an old wank.
Remember that whole Harlan Ellison/Dan Fogelburt's llamas thing? (not like that you sickos) Where Harlan confronted the sockpuppeteer who had targeted a friend of his?

Yeah.

Apparently the victim is suing. The first judge dismissed the case but apparently it's been kicked up to appeals.

It's pretty much a rehash of the original wank, minus the famous names. I wasn't sure if I should post this here or [info]fandom_lounge, but [info]fandom_wank has been kind of slow lately. So yeah.


Edit: New blog post from Paula.

Edit the Second: Moar llamas are needed. *waves back*

Okay, you know what guys? Quit commenting on her blog. I know she seems to be okay with us there, but it is still against the rules. Rules that we have good reasons for. She's obviously keeping an eye on us so if you want to respond to her do it here, and she can choose to address it in her own space if she wants to.

This... is... insane. So insane I barely know what to say. So completely, utterly, insane. msscribe only dreams of being able to approach this level of sockpuppetry.

So instead, I'll just comment on this one line taken at random from the whole thing:

Five movies don’t make you king of the world. Neither do ten.

He's right. It takes eleven.

This whole thing just weirds me out.

Mostly because I honestly think if I'd been her I'd have been taken in too. Maybe that makes me sound stupid, but I think I would have.

(Not sure the "character" in question would really have appealed to me, to be honest, but if I was communicating with a person for such a long time, getting pictures from his kid and talking to him on the phone I don't think I'd have seriously considered the idea that he didn't exist either. Though now... I hope I would.)

[...]I’ll happily match resumes or earning histories with you any day of the week.

[...]I didn’t make this about resumes, nor will I. That you distill it down to earning power makes it all pretty clear, though.


He's gonna do it, guys, but you should that if he did then he'd totally win. Not that he's going to. But you should still know that.

But last month, a divided Illinois appeals court reinstated the case, rejecting St. James' argument that she was creating fiction and therefore wasn't liable.

It was a social experiment. In batshit cruelty.

Well, I have nothing really to say on the update, just that I'm glad it allowed me to read the old wank because WOW....just wow.

I like that Olson comes off just as unlikable as St. James, though. It makes it easier to just sit back and make fun of everyone.

"I wanted nothing from her. I only wanted to be helpful," St. James wrote to one of Bonhomme's friends shortly after being unmasked, signing off as "Janna, content with who and what I am," according to an email the friend received.!

I only wanted to be helpful! Or I wouldn't have fucked with you for a year and a half. BFFs? *sparklehugz*

No objections at all, but I have to admit that seeing Harlan's name at first made me go UFB!, UFB, and then I remembered the original wank. So, yeah.

You know, I always go under the assumption that all the other people on the internet (especially fandom communities) are like, imaginary friends. Rather in the same way I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger, or wearing a tuxedo T-shirt.

If that one documentary film* was indeed scripted, as rumored, this was the original story - at least that's what I kept thinking when I watched it.

Bonhomme learned the truth in 2007, ironically the day after watching "Notes on a Scandal" with St. James, who she'd invited to stay at her California home

That's not what irony means! I mean, I don't usually get up in arms about the definition of irony, but if you write for a living, you ought to know.

That wank is my favorite ever. I actually printed it and made my co-workers read it. And now I have that Dan Fogelberg song about meeting my old lover at the grocery store in my head.

Yes, I'm a total freak.

1. keep in mind that five years ago Skype was being used for work conference calls and that was about it. No computers with built in cameras. I had an iSight for my Mac, but "Jesse" had a work laptop with no camera. MySpace was on my radar during the tail end of this stupid saga, but not Facebook. The internetz was not as sophisticated as it is now, you doggone kids. I'll bet most of you were still in high school when "Jesse" first contacted me five years ago.

Really? No computers had built-in cameras in 2006? And has the internet really changed that much in five years? It doesn't seem all that different to me.

She put her hands against the roof of the truck to brace herself as she raised herself up empty and came down full of him.

Forget llamas, the mechanics of this are what left me boggled the most. Does this woman do sex pull-ups? Is there a bar on the top of the truck? I'm over thinking the whole the thing but it still bugs me.

... oh, crap. I was mesmerized by the original wank and I was fascinated by this sudden redux, but I just realized, today, like four years later, that I was somehow getting Dan Fogelberg and John Fogerty mixed up all along.

So, in conclusion, I suck in re: older singing dudes, and also John Fogerty probably needs some llamas.

Bonhomme didn't have an easy relationship with the James character. He was a complicated guy — a rugged firefighter who also liked to knit, a llama rancher with a love of words.

Yes, being a knitting, firefighting, literature-loving llama rancher is always going to entail some personal heartbreak. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to raise llamas.
