OMG! OMG! I MET JK ROWLING!!!!!!

[McGonagallsGirl]

We should make a giant banner or something to grab media attention. And hang it out on the roof. And it could read 'JKR, PLEASE PUT AD/MM IN BOOK 7!!!'

and then non HP fans would be clueless and we'd seem less like obsessed fans.

[fantasyofdoom]

That sounds like fun!

[ιady ταвz]

*gasp* good theory!! loving it

[McGonagallsGirl]

Ok, I'm completely ready to track her down at this exact moment and ask her all of my burning questions.

Like the one from 'Chamber of Secrets'. Minerva 'just happened' to be at the stairs when Albus 'just happened' to be returning from getting his hot chocolate? Oh Please.

[fantasyofdoom]

I remember that part. They started to go on a first name basis.

[McGonagallsGirl]

lol! I hope not!
I'd rather her read oodles and oodles of fluff, and then have that fluff rot out her brain, and then in book 7, surprise! It's all AD/MM fluff!!

[fantasyofdoom]

I'd love that! I'd complete;y buy that!

[ιady ταвz]

me too..this is great...hey fantasyof doom, you were just a guest...confused

[fantasyofdoom]

I hate to tell you all this but i was totally kidding. I never met JK Rowling. I was making it all up.

[mcgonagallrocks]

I am not going to type what I just said when I read that but...
That was just SO MEAN!!! You brutal BRUTAL PERSON!!!

I was so happy and excited, you had me hyperventilating and not breathing right for awhile there... That's just really really mean... *sobs*

[glow=red,2,300]CRUEL...! [/glow]

[tabbygirl]

*Runs out of room and screams in delight* OMG they have to be together! If she said that then they have to be!!

[childminerva]

fantasyofdoom I would just like to say that I hope you are kidding about what you last posted because if not I think you just put a bit of a damper on the rest of your stay here. Everyone was really excited, there was even a big chat session that you were a part of!
I for one am deeply dissapointed and I hope you were not hoping for popularity points with all of this, because you just lost them all.
when something seems to good to be true, it probably is.

[childminerva]

I just wanted you all to see this...it was a pm I tried to send fantasyofdoom until I realized she had deleted herself from the site.
We should all be embarrassed for having believed something so blatantly in our favor as the story you made up about meeting and talking with JKR. But I'm not embarrassed, merely offended, and here's why.
This board has been around for over two years, in that time no one has ever been overly offensive or created any problems in the threads or among the members. When you told your story about meeting JKR we were not suspicious, merely excited for you. We had no reason to believe that one of our members would lie, or continue to lie to us.
We are all very friendly here and most of us will forgive and forget, but I suggest that if you do want to stay on this board that you write an apology to the members of this site, esp those who were so happy to discuss this and to chat about it with you.

I'm sorry she chose to leave, but she should have thought more clearly about her actions...she's missing out on a great site and it is her loss.

[ιady ταвz]

i wholeheartedly agree with you childminerva....

now i will go to my corner and cry and feel better cos of the few good people here on this great site.

[Nerweniel]

Didn't see this before now as I'm at home so not on as much, but seriously... uhm, yeah. What a brilliant kind of person we are missing out on here. Goodness, honestly. Just think this was a cruel trick to play.

[kissofdeath]

That was evil!

[EloquentPhoenix]

Oh dear. *Takes deep breath*

I expect this post my end up having a certain amount of length to it, so yes, sorry.

A cruel trick indeed, and I think that I should feel stupid for believing her. But no, there isn't another member who would do that to us all. Like childminerva said. We're all nice here. Or at least, we were.

I'm rather glad that I have been suspicious since the chat room with what was said and I panicked. Anyone who was there will knwo but I've forgotten who was. It was very early morning.

But I won't forgive, and I won't forget. No, I'm not ever going to forget because no one ever crosses me. Good ridence I say. And I'm glad that once again we're left with a nice group of people with a mutual respect for each other, politeness, caring, a shared ADMM craze. And people who make the effort.

I'm really enraged, actually. And I could call her a lot of things, but I won't. Because I'm under the impression that swearing can actually be quite offensive. And I respect other people.

/rant. I know that was a load of rubbish and probably repetitive etc but I needed to get that off my chest. If she returns (*sigh*) I will, despite what I just said, be nice. But we can all do false when necessary.

And to think when I did get a bit suspicious I never said because it was rude, cruel and unfair to do so.

[childminerva]

very true tabbycat!
Eloquent...I was on the chat for a bit, but I had to leave, I must have missed the thing that made you suspicious because I'm not sure what you're referring to
It was a cruel trick and I just hope nothing like this happens again.

[Apocalypticat]

My god. I only just read this - and I read the whole thread from start to finish. I shrivelled up inside a little when I found out it was all a lie. I'm glad I didn't participate in the chat session...

That was cruel. If you read the whole thread over, the more cruel it seems.

How. Pathetic.

[jayejaye]

What on earth motivates someone to waste their time planning such elaborate deception??. Then to lie to peoples faces in a chat session!!!. All I can say is we should feel sorry for someone so insecure they feel the need to lie to get attention and that they don't have anything more fulfilling to do with their time than play cruel jokes on others.
Rant over...

[Catwoman99]

My husband even read the thread with me and was excited. Later when I told him she made the whole thing up, the first thing he said was, "Did you ban her from the board?"

I don't know if I would have done that, but I did want to send her a rather stern PM. I second the thoughts of childminerva and EloquentPhoenix. Kudos to all the good people who have stuck around for two years and to the good ones who've just joined us. I've heard some people say that some of us ADMMers are nice to a fault, but I wouldn't trade the friends I've made through this ship for anything.

I don't feel stupid for believing her, just pissed off at being the victim of a prank. It's not even April Fool's!! *grrrrrr*

Anyways, enough rambling....let's move on.

- April
(Completely off topic and random: The wind is blowing so hard outside, I swear my roof is going to fly off!)

[EloquentPhoenix]

Oh dear (about your roof) it is rather worrying. I hope it's okay.

About the chat room session I meant when her brother apparantly got on the computer and said (I'm paraphrasing) Lily's lying, she didn't meet any author. She made the whole thing up. It was just after you left maybe childminerva. I can't remember it was 2.30AM and I was about to go myself.

But we can move on from this. The rest of us are still nice, and who knows. One of us actually might meet her someday.

Oh, that's so sad, actually. Can you imagine now if any of us ever did, and really asked her. It would be so much harder for us to believe, not because we don't trust the person but just because of this.

Grr! She's not worthy of my hatred (and it's split too much already ) but it's made me so much more angry now. And just because of a what if.

[crystalpheonixeyes]

I just read the whole thing start to finish and I have a feww comments. I am glad I meet all of you and would not go back for anything. To see someone do this is very upsetting to say the least. Never Did I think that this would happen or that someone would lie about meeting Jo and about ADMM. I called my friend when I read the first part and was screaming on the phone and now I really don't want to call him back to tell him I was wrong.

I do hope that one of us meets her someday, god knows that our Ship deserves some recongition from her.

I guess I should not be that surprised that someone would do this, and yet at the same time I am. Sad isn't it? I still can't believe someone would stoop that low as to fool all of us and bascially mock what we invest so much time into. It desegusts(sp?) me.

[DaBao]

While I feel like that was really mean I can easily forgive her. I feel a little disappointed in myself for having even believed it was true.

Hopefully she will come back sometime soon, although I'd still like to know why she decided to do that.

[aphelion]

That was just really cruel. I didn't read it until last night and, luckily, Cranky set me straight, but I was sat here harping on like an idiot, all bloody (excuse me) excited and...

WHY?!

I feel completely stupid and it's awful to feel thick because you actually trusted someone.

Whoever you are, I hope you're utterly ashamed of yourself.
