	If there isn't one there should be. Did you know that hadn't even heard of the woman until I started reading F_W. Or almost all of HPfandom's BNFs, for that matter. Oy vay! sigh (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I hear you there. I used to visit message boards in the HP fandom, and now I just get teh funneh at f_w, and never bother to see what they're disscussing at FAP, because it's all too bizarre. So yeah, f_w is my Weekly World News connection to HP. And that's good enough for me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'd only heard of her in connection with the Very Secret Diaries. Had no idea she even wrote HP fic, much less was this uber BNF. Fandom Wank has taught me much. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Cassie is rather witty, very amusing, and quite widely read. Also, she was the only person in the Nimbus Draco discussion other than me who would admit to liking CANON Draco. And I do like canonical Draco. (I'd better. I was just like him when I was his age, only without the penis.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh, you mean the Nimbus Draco discussion that took place informally after the panel? Because I didn't actually get to go to that one, but I was the moderator for the actual panel on Draco, and I know that I, personally, love Canon!Draco, so. Just saying. :)) Not that I was a very brilliant moderator for that discussion, but I think that there was a consensus from at least 4 out of the 5 panelists that JKR had made Canon!Draco appealing in terms of wit and endurance.

I can't recall. Which is a sign that I should go to bed. I mostly remember that Cedar said something directly to me that irritated me incredibly at the time, but Tinderblast and Telepwen (I think) told me later that it was meant as a joke. Maybe it was you and Cassie, maybe it was a different discussion. I know you love the little bastich though :D & 93, the Azalais needs sleep.

I was just like him when I was his age, only without the penis.)* You know, I've always wondered if we would have gotten along with each other if we'd gone to school together at around that age.(You might have been one of the few that figured out that I had a broken brain, for all I know.)

	I had heard of her when she got banned from ff.net for plagiarism. So I made a valiant attempt to read the DT, out of curiosity. I got through, like, a chapter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She deserved it, I don't see why everyone was so up in arms. Plagiarism = bad = BANNED, MUTHAFUCKA. It's that simple.

And Christ, if you're gonna plagiarize, at least make it part of a good fic. Around the time of the banning (before? after? I forget) we had a long email convo that basically ended in me explaining at length why I didn't like the DT and her replying that it was a matter of taste with no hard feelings and oh, by the way, those authors you mentioned liking better than me are teh suxx0r.

We haven't exchanged a single word since.

	Good God. I knew nothing about her personally (other than the plagiarism bit) and I found her work to be just plain dull. All the wanking that I'm learning about just makes me even more determined to not give it a second chance. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	When did this banning happen? Who did she plagiarise? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: nosy angkgriffen 2004-03-14 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	It was back in 2001 I think, and she plagiarized a published author whose name I forget. (Reply to this)(Parent)
