    It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has read more than ten fics. The story is not really that remarkable in the grand scheme if things, and is really only notable if your an HP fan who has only pays attention to fanfics that have become memes.

    I think that, if everything she said was true, then she's a marketing genius.

    And I think I'd really like to read her autobiography.

    Inb4 goffs and fuckin preps start fighting.
    This article feels limited. Like what other scandal could have revealed the author is, I also doubt that someone in foster care truly knew the impact of what they had done. It's only taken 10 years for the fic to reach cult status.

    It's PR pure and simple.

    It's easy to claim shit after the fact.

    Wait you think that it was written by someone seriously attempting to write a fanfic?

    I wouldn't put much credence in the fact that it's satire. It's always easy to say after the fact. Won't really know though.

    I wouldn't call this a lack of faith in humanity (quite the opposite in fact), but the possibility of accepting this as being a legitimate attempt at fanfiction is acceptable.

    Very easily too. I can almost picture the author's then MySpace page. "Scene" and "goth" were kinda big back then.

    At any rate, I agree. Good PR move. If you're that famous, might as well use it and drop that you have an autobiography lined up and another orphan saga already penned.

    This just boggles my mind. Like the fucking stupidest fanfic ever and its wrote by a native american and she had six other books detailing native culture. She doesn't speak the language and is talking about blood quantum. And all this other shit like she is native.

    Protip: Anyone that says they're native and says what their blood quantum is, is white. There is nothing native about that. Only white people give a fuck about what percentage of their blood is from a dying tribe. That's fucking culture assuming white trash garbage, and she can fuck herself and die in a bridge fire.

    But they're also about lesbians. Like I think she created herself off of everything Tumblr she could find and distilled that into that fucking garbage there.

    She's using her sexuality to further her agenda, and using the fact that she's native american as a vehicle to explain her fem only bullshit agenda. Cherokee people were ran by the women of the tribe, and even the women of our tribe aren't that fucking stupid, or would ever try to pander for fucking views that way.

    She is literally the scum of the fucking earth. She knows nothing about her culture. She says that Cree is her language and that it's dying , when there are First Nations in canada, over 87k of them that fucking speak the language. Along with 20k other people that speak their own fucking dialect. Cree is a catch all language. She mentions Lenape, which is a fucking tribe from Delaware, that is centered in NJ and PA now. There is two dialects of that language, and only like four or five of their elders can still speak it.

    I want to go to the midwest where her tribe is and pay someone in ponies to hit her with a tomahawk. Straight in the face.

    Don't forget about The Room - that guy claimed after the fact that the movie was always meant to be a dark comedy because people were ironically liking it.

    The best part was that she literally states that she's a born and raised New Yorker, which quite frankly is about as non-native as you can get. Lolerskates.

    Yeah, I noticed, I'm just still hung up on the fact that she's all about native shit, and that's its one of the first five questions on her Tumblr, but it has no bearing on any of this shit at all.

    Its like those old profiles: Yeah, my name is *insert name here*, and I like *insert controversial or childish shit here* so yeah, deal with it.

    But she's talking about something that in my mind that is just fucking insulting as fuck. A native is defined by a legal system by their blood purity, because in most cases the role has a Per Capita disbursement, and depending of if you can prove that you have ancestors and then take blood tests, etc that's the only way you get get the money. Tons of people have intermarried into tribal families because they see lump sum payments ranging from 6k to 8k every six months as worth it. Or in the case of the Seminole, 11k or more. Its a fucking shame.

    Personally, I'm all about marrying who you want, and if you really are in love with them, go for it. But do not insult me with that fucking garbage about how pure your blood is when you can't even speak the fucking language. Don't make some fucking excuse. There are elders that still speak it, learn from them at their knee and teach your children.

    The first language I ever spoke was Cherokee, and I learned it from my grandmother. People talk shit about natives and how they pretty much got fucked by the white man, and we did, or joke about casinos, but you don't realize the culture that per capita and blood purity engenders on the rez. People plan their whole lives around it, kids can't wait until they get their big money and then they go blow it on nothing because they have poor money sense, and this fucking culture assuming white piece of fucking scum wants to nonchalantly mention that she has some native blood in her like it makes her some kind of special fucking snowflake.

    Being native is speaking the language and practicing the traditions and knowing where you came from. Not that your fourth cousins uncles grandfather might have been Souix or Blackfoot, or Cree, or Cherokee, or Seminole or Apache.

    I reiterate my statement, fuck that stupid bitch, I hope someone cut's her hair off and makes a belt out of it.

    So, uh.

    The so-called author's memoir has been cancelled after her alleged brother (not fully confirmed) came out and said the author's allegations of abuse, foster care, being a lesbian, and Native American racial identity (she's white) were fake or played up. Also, the name she gave wasn't real either.

    The author now admits she falsified documents to prove her identity as the author of My Immortal and has taken down all social media sites. Now not only has the publisher of the memoir pulled out, but the author cancelled her memoir all together.

    So who the fuck knows.
