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!)

From what I can tell the show itself is fine - especially as there really aren't any other popular CW shows besides Vampire Diaries.

That said the fandom is now incredibly segmented via LJ, Tumblr, forums, etc. and even MORE segmented with Destiel / Dean fans / Sam fans / Castiel fans. And while it's not overt, I think there is less crossover now that the angst and brother-blaming is a major plot point.

Which both hurts and helps Andy and his clique.

[ ... ] there really aren't any other popular CW shows besides Vampire Diaries.

I've been seeing a lot of talk about Arrow and I know they apparently got renewed for a second season.

I mean, you won't see me praising it (the first episode bored me to tears, I have a tolerate-loath relationship with the main character in every other medium, and I won't ever forgive them for making Roy Harper a brunette), but it seems popular enough.
