Victoria Bitter: The Embittering
Oh, how nice, someone's creating a little convention for the Supernatural fandom, and they're looking for staff members. Looks like the position of Event Director has already been filled, though, by one...

Andrew Blake. AKA thanfiction. AKA Victoria Bitter.

The event hasn't received much attention thus far, but everyone who's responded to the original post looks enthusiastic and willing to throw money at the idea.

Unsurprisingly, people from other corners of the fandom have begun to speak up, sharing stories of past exploits and linking to the book written by a previous VB/AB/TF victim.

Andy, aware of his reputation in fandom, has made several posts on his most recent Tumblr in the past few months, saying that the past is behind him and refuting the claims of people who are preemptively warning the SPN fandom about his exploits.

Only time will tell if he has really changed his ways, but all signs point to no.

One final note: misgendering is not cool. There are about 10 million reasons to mock Andrew Blake, but his gender identity is not one of them.

ETA: Now matured from "having just finished his 20s" to "30 with a lot of job experience", our hero has posted more details about the application process, explaining that everything might go wrong and that's just the way that cons work, and that pretty much all of the cool stuff mentioned thus far might be too expensive if they don't get enough participants. (thanks luxshine!)

I’ve had to start my life over completely from scratch a good dozen times, and I’ve only just finished my 20s.

I see he hasn't lost his trait of sweepingly dramatic turns of phrase that sound and look good but can't really be verified.

He reminds me of my ex in that way. Did I mention that my ex was an abuser and a manipulator?

I feel the same way, for the same reasons when I read about Andy's tactics. Hug, if you want it? I hear you.

And even if it were true, that would not be the mark of someone you'd want to trust.

"Only just finished my 20s" is strange phrasing. I think it's deliberate. He wants people to think he's young oh so young instead of going, "this is a dude in his 30s looking to spend time with teenage girls, um..."

Yeah, I agree. I was thinking about that just recently, how he might deal with the increased inappropriateness of interaction with his preferred demographic as he gets older. For the time being I guess the answer is still "put the emphasis on relative youth", with I think the side-dish of him 'having to start his life over', which sort of implies that although he's in his twenties, in a lot of ways he's just like you, impressionable teens, struggling and learning.

Eck.

Lotta guys like him claiming to be in the music business.

I hear they can also get you into modelling.
