Harry Potter Fandom is better than Springer!
Do you all remember Gryffindor Tower, that website filled with crap fic archive that fell in on itself some months ago? It was the same archive that accused HP BNF msscribe's nanny of having a trillion identities because their good friend Imogen couldn't possibly be nutters.

Yes. Of course you do.

It seems that dear Imogen really is teh evil, and her attitude towards us common folk is worse than her writing. (You see, the other chatter turned on Imogen as well!)

One of the ex-admins, who is a bit on the sour side has publically posted the private chat that led to the website's demise.

[info]tartanboxers is very amused. She also gives us a nifty link to Imogen's journal, with [info]ladymaidmarian 's rant mixed in.

Warning: Do not read actual journal. Actual Journal is very, very boring.

*sniffs*

Wank on, GT. Wank on.

Argh. I had some trouble following who was who, but I loved the saccharine well-wisher who slid in with her Put this out of your mind and concentrate on the good, the positive, the memorable stuff that made GT such a nice place to be.

Sounds like a group home!

I donae get it. I'm just an observer here, so my question doesn't mean I'm for either side, but how did the Marian chick get this private conversation transcript when it's talking about her in the third person? Or am I just totally missing something?

We've all got copies of it. Seems there was someone in the chat in question who didn't like what was going on, so she pasted the chat over YM for the rest of us. And the transcript got circulated, as well.

Aaah, even after the site's long dead, the wank still goes on.

...Great, now I'm thinking of that Titantic song. X_x

Doesn't it seem like every few months we see new wank spew from the ruins of what was once GT? Personally I think that all sides are being wanky in this latest mess. I could honestly care less anymore who caused the downfall of the site. All I've learned from this mess is that both sides need some serious therapy and need to get a life. It's like they enjoy being ridiculed by the entire fandom, otherwise they would stop posting things like this.

Of course if they didn't have this incredible urge to constantly wank among themselves, where would the HP fandom be? It seems that over half of the wank that occurred this past year involved GT admins and their site in some way, even managing to spew it nonsense after the sight imploded almost four months ago. You have got to admire their persistance...

You know it's days like this that makes me ashamed to admit that I like the H/G pairing...
Why do all the crazy people in the fandom have to like the same pairing as I do? They make all the normal people look as nutty as they do.

Hee!

Between LadyMaidMarian's borderline literacy and the utterly and painfully melodramatic responses to her rant (which I couldn't understand a word of, even though I've followed the wank since it started: I think someone should warn her about excessive use of unattributed pronouns), this is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen come out of the HP fandom.

Bravo, GT! Your beacon of wank shines on!

Let us again sing the verses of that great old standard, "O Gryffindor! My Gryffindor!" and then observe a solemn moment of silence.

Would someone be so kind as to outline this wankage for the uninformed masses (or maybe just me)? I know the site closed down with a florish, and now this chick is posting private conversations like it's the fucking Watergate scandal and Imogen is Nixon. Somehow, though, I missed something in between. I think it's because I don't know any of the players.

I haven't got a clue what the hell is going on. Mostly due to the terrible formatting of the journals.

So someone deleted a place because they had a huge stick up their arse, and then lied a lot, and someone went >.< GRRR I KILL YOU!

And that's as far as I can make out *scratches head*

HAHAHA. Okay, no matter *how* crazy Imogen might be (I haven't read the chat transcript yet), I can't believe no one has mentioned the wankiness of [info]ladymaidmarion comparing her to CHARLES MANSON.

"She was Charlie and I was Squeaky Fromme!!!" Um. Right. Because changing an archive password is right up there with assassinating presidents.

That's *gotta* be breaking a Jurisimprudence law somewhere.

Well I always knew the woman had a few slates loose and that she was poisonous for her own ends but I never realised that she could be so nasty to those who were her friends. I am just so glad that this woman isn't teaching my children.
