Not shocked, but I can be dismayed that we live in the sort of world where someone would go to that much effort to fake being the author of My Immortal.

 

I kinda hope this is a mystery that never gets solved. I think that's part of why My Immortal is as infamous as it was. There was never anyone to take credit for it. It honestly seemed weird when I first saw the author of My Immortal was revealed. Even if the real author ever comes out or is proven, I think there will always be a little bit of me that's a skeptic.

 

Maybe not surprised, but I guess I'm disappointed because, having not been in the fandom at the time when My Immortal was released, I kind of wanted to know more on something that was an integral part of Harry Potter fanfiction lore, despite the quality of the fic itself.

 

I'm just going to call this whole deal a masterclass in trolling and walk away.
