The Ms.Scribe Story
An Unauthorized Fandom Biography
Preface -
The primary purpose of this fandom biography, as with any story, is to provide entertainment and amusement for its readers. Msscribe is a fascinating person and I believe that many people will find her eventful fandom life interesting. My secondary purpose is to preserve fandom history that is in danger of being lost -- for instance, I rescued the Fermatojam pages originally captured and posted byanatsuno from Google cache. Msscribe's story includes or touches upon many scandals and conflicts of the past five or six years in a certain sector of the Harry Potter fandom. My third purpose is to try to explain events that were complicated and hard to understand when they happened. I hope this account will provide a coherent explanation and clear up many misconceptions.
All posts, comments, and webpages quoted or shown as exhibits in this narrative are public, or were public when they were captured, or else I have explicit permission from the writer of the text to quote them. Much of my narrative is based on downloads from public posts on Msscribe's Live Journal captured on June 6, 2003 by fandom memberdianora. Most of those posts are now friends-locked, but they were all public when downloaded. The same is true of the handful of other formerly public/now friends-locked posts that are included here. They were public when they were either downloaded, screencapped, or quoted by a fandom member or captured by Google, the Wayback Machine, or LJ Seek. Msscribe's real-life full name is not mentioned or linked in this account.
Occasionally, the narrative includes quotes from friends-locked posts and comments, and emails. All of these are quoted with the permission of the writer of the text quoted. This will always be noted in the text, as well.
This story is as complete and accurate as my research skills and my own memory and that of my sources could make it but I realize that there might still be inaccuracies in the story and chronology, and I welcome any corrections and additions you might have. Please leave a comment or send me an email at duchess_of_richmond@yahoo.com. My goal is to achieve 100% accuracy, and I will edit the text if I receive new information. All speculations and conclusions expressed in the narrative are my own, and are true to the best of my reasoning ability based on the information I have.
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the many people who have generously shared their memories, links, downloads, screencaps, locked posts, emails, IM transcripts, beta suggestions, and encouragement. I must especially thankangua9, dianora, narcissam, and tartanboxers, without whom this fandom biography would not have been possible.
