BoE and Turi

[lotesse]

Okay, all former PonyPals. Tell me what you think of Turimel's upcoming book.

I'm not sure where I stand on this. On the one hand, I'd really like to have all the information, as I ended up standing dazed on the edge of all of it, and the proceeds are going to reimburse those that lost money, and sociologically I think that the whole thing is fascinating. But, I'm also worried that fandom will end up looking like a freakshow, and I don't want BoE to get the tabloid treatment. I really did love it, at least the Pony, which was thankfully free from most of the crazy.

PonyPals, will you buy it? Should it be printed? Why or why not?

What is PonyPals? and why was it stolen? and where do the tabloids come in?

The PonyPals were the denizens of the Prancing Pony MB, a part of BitOfEarth.net, a Sam fansite. The site crashed because it had come to be used as a phony charity by a pair of lesbian transsexual hobbit-channelling con artists, hence the tabloids. One of the women who got scammed is publishing a book telling the story.
