ash48I really don't know what to make of this. I found out today (via a heads up from a flistie <3) that a person that I have been following (though not intently) is not only a fake but a serial LJ plagiarist and sock. It weirds be out because if this is true this person had created a very elaborate back story of his life. The person is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
micamonroe and it seems that some of you are already aware of this person - and the allegations that he's stolen stories and art.
I read a story of his (maybe his?) quite a few years ago. It was interesting to me because he claimed it was based on his own life experience. And I believed him.
But it seems it's all false. Well, according to this post (and the many links providing evidence).
His death was announced in a post recently (there's no point me linking it as it's friends locked) and of course many left condolences. He's also claimed to have been abused and has even been in a coma.
I have no idea what's truth or not. It's pretty damn sad if it's all been fake because - holy crap! Why?!!? Just to gather comments and gain sympathy? How sad a person must you been to create such an elaborate "other" life. His stories get A LOT of comments. I'm not sure how I missed the news that he's not who he claims to be.
Anyway. I'm not losing sleep over it. It's just freaking weird.

It's his one character flaw that he can't change. But if you'd really like to read up on his past history (including his cult associations and his involvement in the death of a young woman), you can google his name. It's one creepy read. Because he's attended a couple of SPN cons in the last year or two and tried to move his psychotic tactics into real life.
