2:29pm: I'm official. No, you aren't! Yes, I am!
Collected from
wank_reportIn the ever turbulent world of
Sentinel fandom, the recent craziness started when an anonymous group of fans announced they would be creating a Garett Maggart Online
community and web site. Quotes:
"This is an official press release to announce the upcoming debut of the Official Garett Maggart Online presence. Garett has chosen a team to oversee and maintain his online presence and to that end, the Official site is being completely rebuilt and will be online soon.
Updates will be posted here and to other appropriate groups and lists. Garett's new official site will be international in flavor and dutifully maintained with Garett's direct input."Fans of GM and
The Sentinel go apeshit. Why? Because under this viel of
anonimity, this "team" could be anyone. (Read people we don't know or like.)
Enter, Shar
blairangel, the person who already owns www. garettmaggart.net. She rips these anonymous fans a new one. After all, she is Garett's official web site, not these wannabees. Wank is
here and
here. Fandom explodes.
Accusations fly and fans begin speculating that maybe Deb Warner is involved in this new online venture. All hell breaks loose, which causes the GMO (Garett Maggart Online) "team" to state no, they aren't Deb Warner of the
Demon Under Glass wank. (The Deb Warner wank is separate, too long to go into here).
Finally, members of the "team" reveal themselves: Alyjude, SuziQ, Marilyn, Arianna and Sylvette.
Alyjude posts
here explaining why fans thought Shar and her GM web site was dead in the water.
Plus how the GMO got
approval from Garett's management for this new site.
Alyjude also points out to Shar her thoughts on some
things."to be, Shar? And just what axe do we have to grind? We're public now, Shar -- very public, and we are NOT in competition with you. Yes, the original announcement could have been worded differently, but the fact remains, you refused to answer the many inquiries and you did let the domain expire, which, following a year of nothing -- gave root to the idea that you'd moved on."Arianna, another GMO team member adds her
very rational thoughts. It seems she was on a cruise when the wank happened and was in the dark until she got some ship-to-shore calls about it.
But, Shar isn't finished and she replies back that she is the
official site and has created a new El-jay for online announcements.
Highlights include:
"I do know the people behind this suddenly surfaced "team" and the story behind it. I know names and I know who is directly and indirectly involved. I have names, e-mails and lots of sordid details of who did what, who egged who on and so forth. Hines & Hunt is disgusted by this fiasco as am I. It was mishandled and reeked of cloak and dagger secrecy littered with demands, threats and rudeness. Not the way I've ever done business nor do I ever intended to embrace these tactics when working for Garett or conducting business regarding his site or my own personal life."So which one is the real official site? I have no fucking clue. You decide.
