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!)

The whole "I'm past that" thing also implies that because he says he's moved past it, so should the victims of his abuse. Which is utter bullshit and seems meant to minimize the effect of his actions and paint his detractors as whiny crybabies no one should listen to.

Thisthisthisthisthis! Thank you for putting it into words more completely!

It's like (or not like, because it just is) he's the only one who's important here and if anyone else hasn't gotten over then that's their problem and their burden to bear and, well, he's not responsible for seeing to their mental health, right?

Despite the fact that he is the direct reason that their mental health ain't so great to begin with. Despite the fact that, at least according to kumquatwriter, one of the ways in which he manipulated them into being emotionally dependent on him was through the use of BS psychology.

Ugh, it just makes me madder the more I learn and hear and think about it.

Honestly, Andy is like...the poster child for narcissism and self-absorption to staggering levels.
