so I used to play in a game called C&C, which was an infamously wanky place

Hahahaha what do you mean nothing wanky happened in C&C...

I was, at the time, mostly oblivious to this wank!! I remain mostly oblivious to this wank, I am not a very dramatic rper, which, looking back, plays into my reaction to this story I just now remembered

but anyway this must have been 2009? 2010? and we got some players from a manga Eyeshield 21, which is a sport manga

and one of the characters was like, the manager mom friend

AS I RECALL, that character's most infamous contribution to the game was a network post where the character was basically asking what a dick was

why was stuff coming out of it?? is it broken??

NOT GREAT but also not exactly atypical

I know I made an "accidental network post" that was just 2 hours of footage of the inside of a sock drawer followed by "FUCK" as my character realized they'd left the public video camera on accidentally, since there were so many cringey sex posts at the time

that's not really what this story is about though

I remember at the time being "where have I seen this username before"?

and then I remembered: she'd been on fandom_wank because of an enormous saga where she was dating zachary quinto on the astral plane

like, six months before joining C&C

and I was like "ah, well, maybe she's changed, I shouldn't hold that against her too much"

but I looked back into that whole drama and it's more wild than I remembered

see, Tam/freetheelves2/hymenchan was one of those fic writers who made all their fic friends only

so to read it you had to friend them, and by doing that were able to get a somewhat massive friends of list

where, apparently, she posted stories strongly hinting she was dating a very famous actor

these are not great quality screencaps for I had to dig them up from a wayback of a photobucket

and this starts leaking to fandom secrets

and everyone's like… what?? someone in fandom is claiming to be dating zachary quinto??

Lol I had no idea about any of this

RIGHT

anyway so she eventually replies to this fandomsecrets speculation with an exaggerated yawn

Started back in... early December when I said I was dating a (fairly well known) guy. A secret was posted back then, too, and then... nothing for the longest time until there was a secret posted about my abilities as a roleplayer.

Me, not being one for anonymity, called the person out and got pissed off. I'm not part of fandomsecrets for that very reason-- it pisses me off to no end; I typically have friends of mine tell me when something was posted in relation to me. I don't miss much, as I have almost 800 friends-of. Anyway, I got pissed off and called the person out.

After that, this shit started up again and now it's just secret after secret and I honestly am not sure WHAT I did to piss this person off so much or who it is, but it must have been fairly bad.

Like I said, it was amusing at one point, but I'm starting to get bored. I told people on my f-list about it, laughed at the allegations, and... it's still going on. I don't see the point.

and what was that callout??

"someone is jealous of my relationship with zachary quinto so they're calling me a LIAR but my psychic mom uncovered their identity through emotional resonance"

"and now, this means war!! attack, o friendslist!!"

oh my god

and here's the fandom_wank post

oh holy shit

I KNEW NONE OF THIS

right because even as I put this together at the time I thought "well, we all have our bad days, surely it's better not to start fights"

j is supposed to be zachary quinto??? the man, who is gay?

yes

k

this was before he was out and obviously some of the rumors she longs to squash are rumors of homosexuality

I recall in some of the other caps she was like "he's NOT gay and I know this (but I can't say how, tee hee)"

obviously fueling her "secretly dating ZQ mystique"

holy fuck I never knew about any of this....WOW

her writing style is so specifically 2000s annoying

anyway while I tried to prove to myself that this is something that actually happened

I found a google books result!!

amazing,

and yeah I miss this about fandom_wank

because all this happened under various friendslock filters there was a whole masterpost where sockpuppets could comment and unpuzzle the whole story

which is a relic in and of itself

anyway my google into the void also turned up this on wankgate which… is also in I KNEW NONE OF THIS territory

but it's a wankgate anon so who knows

My first game I had close cr with Tam 🙃

I wonder where Tam is now

Yeah I hope she's doing ok

She was never malicious towards me, even though she made choices that definitely made my rp life very uncomfortable
