Fanlore:Featured Article Archives/2018: Week 21

This icon, created in 2006, summarizes how many fans felt about being taken in by Msscribe's posts.

The Ms.Scribe Story is a multi-chaptered exposé of the fan Msscribe's behavior during her tenure in the Harry Potter fandom.

The work was written by the pseudonymous Charlotte Lennox and originally posted to the bad penny community on JournalFen in chapters over the course of several days, starting June 15, 2006.

The exposé was thoroughly researched and incorporated evidence collected by many fans, not just the author of the work.

Charotte Lennox wrote: "The first draft was a mere narrative, much shorter than this, without links, quotes, or screencaps. When I showed it to people, the response was flattering, and many urged me to make it public. The more people I showed it to, the more information I got in return (just as has happened on the Bad_Penny community), and I ended up with a much fuller and more complete account than I had any idea of when I started."
