Sporkify

Sporkify was a sockpuppet created on JournalFen by Msscribe to post to Fandom_wank about MsScribe's enemies, real and fictional.

January 9, 2004: Msscribe is referred to in a rant about incest fic posted several weeks earlier. She leaves a comment saying someone should report the rant to Fandom_wank. Four hours later, Sporkify creates a JF account and posts "his" first wank. Guess what it's about.

January 13, 2004: fandom_scruples is created on LiveJournal. Its first post appears four hours later. Four hours after that, Sporkify is on the scene with a wank report.

January 24, 2004: Sporkify posts a wank report about the downfall of Gryffindor Tower, making a fairly irrelevant reference to GT's battles with "HP BNF Msscribe" and the resulting ~~confession of~~ accusation against Clarabella21. [1]

March 1, 2004: More anti-GT wank, this time complimenting Msscribe for some good digs taken at tartanboxers for criticizing a fic written by a (surprisingly real) friend of Msscribe. Speculation arises that Sporkify could be posting GT grudgewank because he's secretly one of the Fiction Alley mods. Heidi asks the mods (including Msscribe) if they're Sporkify and they all say no, closing the case in her book.

March 11, 2004: Apparently feeling pressure to prove that he's not MsScribe, Sporkify reports minor Fiction Alley wank. [2] Aside from lacking the passion of the previous GT wanks, the report goes out of its way to note that Sporkify is a male college student who doesn't understand how Fiction Alley's moderating system works.

The plan backfires slightly when it is revealed that the wank report was posted just two hours after FA mod slytherincess mentioned it in a filtered LJ post. Karma_bitch asks who Sporkify is to remind everyone that Msscribe already has a JF account, so there's no way she'd be this other guy! She later claims on her LJ to have been driving home from Baltimore that day. That would certainly make it difficult to have posted as Sporkify, except that it would similarly prevent her from posting as Karma_bitch 22 minutes later. Although she has avoided suspicion from her peers, Msscribe resigns her post as a Fiction Alley moderator.

June 19, 2006: In the aftermath of The Ms. Scribe Story, Heidi is provided with Sporkify's IP address and confirms that Msscribe was Sporkify. [3]
