I've been working 80 hour weeks [eta: okay, make that 70... after all I took new year's eve off, and half of my birthday, for purposes of partying] for a good three weeks now and you know what I just noticed? I'm really, really, *really* itching for a kerfuffle. I should stay away from 206_bones for the next few hours. *cough*

Good thing I have to leave the house in half an hour, and then I have pilates class which will hopefully channel all that energy in a more productive way. ;O)

Here'a [possibly] new idea for sock puppetry:

Instead of puppet admirers (too easily spotted), create one's own set of harassing trolls and try to gain notoriety/sympathy that way.


Has anyone tried that out?

Oh boy

The short answer: Yes

The long answer is roughly 90,000 words and comes in the form of "The MsScribe Story" report.

I have a brief description & link in this post (http://astridv.livejournal.com/53505.html). It's investigative journalism at its best, entertaining as hell. I'm not interested in Harry Potter fandom, but I was still sucked in. I swear, the thing reads like a mystery novel, and the best thing is, it's all true. So if you have a bit of spare time, just start reading... and find your question answered.

by the way, msscribe is far from the first or the only one who tried that. She's just the most notorious sockpuppeteer to date.
