when fandom gets it right, it gets it right

(and ditto for LJ)

boyan_fraser's been suspended from LJ.

A bit of closure, there, and my heart-felt sympathies to those who were friends of thamiris, who had to deal with this on top of their grief.

Forgive me, but. What happened with all this? I thought this person was just stealing stories but the line about grief has me confused.

thamiris died of breast cancer last year. She was influential (and loved) in fandom and had a lot of friends there. boyan_fraser wasn't just taking her stories--he also stole and modified her profile, journal entries, essays, and even comments in a creepy several-month-long bout of post-mortem stalking.

Bleah. People suck.

Ew. That's creepy. No wonder people are upset. Thanks for the info.

I wonder what they finally ended up suspending him for.

Glad to hear it. It's so sickening to me, that someone would do that.

Oh that is fantastical. When they mess up, LJ really messes up... But then they get something right, they get it RIGHT. YAY!

Thank goodness. Reading some of those posts from people who knew and loved her, and how heart broken they were that he would not only plagerize but then pretend that she somehow arranged it with him to post these things after her death is just disgusting.
