The Duchess of Richmond's Ball by R. A. Hillingford



Greetings. My name is Charlotte Gordon Lennox, and I am the Loquacious Duchess of Richmond. My friends call me TL;DR. I'm not sure why.

I have a keen interest in recording fandom history, and I hope that you will find my observations of some interest.

Chapter Ten - Msscribe Returns [15 Jun 2015|10:00am]
I should update you on some new developments. [info]heidi8 has announced publicly that she has confirmed that Msscribe was Sporkify, and that Msscribe lied to her about that. Also, [info]ari_o has emailed [info]angua9 and given her a link to a website showing the name and phone number of the police officer that she says Msscribe told her was the person who investigated her case with "Fermatojam." [info]angua9 says she has already called that number and left a message, but it was after hours and she got no information. She plans to call the Records Department tomorrow morning to ask if the case exists, and immediately post the results on her LJ. And yes, I do realize that this sounds like it could be a setup for the Big Reveal that Msscribe is innocent after all, but I assure you I do not expect that to be the case!

I thought very seriously about delaying the release of Chapter Ten until that phone call has been made, but I decided not to. The events of Chapter Ten occurred, no matter what the outcome of that phone call. And NM deserves to have her story told, after waiting patiently for two months.


for [info]sapphireisle, who bravely contributed some information that must be very hurtful for her...

Hello again. I'm sorry to return like a... well, like a bad penny, but I have some information I must share with you. People have been wonderfully generous about sending things in, and I have two that I feel I ought to share with you now.

If you can't trust an anonymous commenter, who CAN you trust? [15 Jun 2015|06:30am]
Oh dear. I'm afraid I'm very disappointed in our mouse detective. First, he stood me up by ignoring my invitation to give me hints in one of my screened journals to help me confirm his information. But perhaps that's understandable in view of what happened next. Deprived of "Clarabella's" alleged real name and any hints as to how I might find online "incident reports," I was forced to investigate the information s/he had already given us. And I am sorry to be obliged to tell you that the Mouse Detective is shockingly untruthful.

Timeline [15 Jun 2015|06:00am]



The Ms.Scribe Story

An Unauthorized Fandom Biography

TIMELINE )



Afterword 2

June 21, 2006: A friend of "Charlottelennox" forwards an email of someone who queried the University of Dayton about Louis Movello and was told they had never had a student of that name, nor any close spellings.

June 21-22, 2006: Ishie (a resident of Dayton) questions the Dayton police, the university police, and others at the University of Dayton and confirms that they have no record of a student or a complaint incident resembling that described by Msscribe.

June 22, 2006: Cassandra Claire emails Angua9 a screencap of Fermatojam's comment on her LJ, showing his IP as the same Comcast IP captured elsewhere for Msscribe, Pottersginny, Fermatojam, Clarabella, and Karma_Bitch.

June 22, 2006: Someone representing himself as Msscribe's husband files a complaint at Journalfen, alleging that Charlotte's quoting of the "Baby Dyke" story and use of an icon with a picture of Msscribe violates her copyright. At Journalfen's request, Charlotte edits those items.



Afterword 3

June 21, 2006: [info]malachan (formerly [info]cygnusfap), revealing himself to be the person behind [info]fandom_quibbler, posts about anonymous comments on the Quibbler that match Msscribe's IP.

June 22, 2006: [info]angua9 posts the email that she sent Heidi in March-April 2004.

June 23, 2006: [info]clarabella21 comments on this post in [info]angua9's Live Journal, saying An update will be posted in my journal, seemingly from a kiosk in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport.

A couple of hours later, "Clarabella" makes a voice mail post on her own LJ, backdated to a month before. Transcription by tophets_tool:
It’s me. I know that I haven’t been around in years and I never thought I’d come back to this journal. I’ve already apologised, I have nothing else to say, except that I wan’t to be left alone. I don’t appreciate people contacting me, and I will be deleting this journal in twenty four hours.

June 23, 2006: Msscribe changes her LJ name [info]dejaspirit and her title to "Solitude."

June 24, 2006: Clarabella's journal is deleted.

June 24, 2006:: [info]heidi8 posts a public apology.

July 7, 2006 or so: The [info]dejaspirit LJ is changed from a permanent account to a basic account. It seems that LJ probabably allowed Msscribe to apply her permanent account to her new LJ, [info]dizzledee.

July 15, 2006: Charlotte receives an email apparently from babygrrl/[info]infinitus, stating that she is a real person; that she doesn't know if Msscribe has done as alleged in the account, but that Msscribe has been a good friend to her; that she has spoken to "Clarabella" on the telephone a couple of times while Msscribe was said to be in the hospital; and that she had left the fandom for personal reasons and did not with to be contacted or have her identity revealed.

August 4-6, 2006: White_serpent posts her account of "The Cassandra Claire Plagiarism Debacle" on the [info]bad_penny community. This does not directly involve Msscribe, but touches on others involved in her story, most notably Cassandra Claire, Heidi, and Ebony/AngieJ.

September ?, 2006:: Purple_popple/Michela_ecks posts her account of the Harry Potter "Inner Circle" (primarily Heidi and Cassandra Claire) on the [info]bad_penny community. It is criticized as inaccurate in several respects and is deleted on September 29:

September 30, 2006:: [info]heidi8 posts about [info]michaelaeck's allegations. On that post, an anonymous commenter claiming to be an insurance fraud investigator offers information about Msscribe.
