CONSPIRATOR #1: Oscar/Richard Lawson.
We all know that Oscar was one of the worst writers in fanfic history,
right? And that Mr. Lawson (if that indeed, is his real name) is not.
Well, boys and girls, the truth is that Oscar REALLY IS Mr. (?) Lawson.
Here's the secret that revealed the truth:
Oscar is bad, the name Oscar sounds like Oscar Wilde.
We know that the Wildes (J. Austin and Bridget E.) are involved in a
different conspiracy.
How do you know that we aren't the ghost of Oscar Wilde? (Or at least
relatives?)
CONSPIRATOR #2: Rob Barba/Libby Thomas
We believe that these two authors may fall under the category that they
are one and the same person. Let's be honest: their writing matches to
a T. I have never seen anyone whose writing so much completments the
other. They both live in Hawaii...and are not married to each other.
They're "just friends". Riiiiiiiigggggghhhhhttttt. Anyone ACTUALLY
believe this one?
What I think is that "Mr. Barba" is REALLY Ms. Thomas, and that she
initially produced stories under the "Rob Barba" name (and what kind of
a weird name is "Barba", anyway?) until she was comfortable with her
own, and still produces quality fics, regardless of the name used.
Getting back to your Conspiracy Number 4, those of you who have been
members of the FFML for two years or longer will remember that the email
address of this "J. Austin Wilde" fellow was <jaustin@aloha.net> and
that his ISP was "Hawaii On-Line." He was even supposedly a crew member
of the nuclear submarine USS KAMEHAHEMA, named for the great Hawaiian
king of the late 18th Century. Rob Barba claims to be a member of the US
Navy who is being transferred to shore duty in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Coincidence...?
CONSPIRACY #4: The Wildes/Rob Barba & Libby Thomas.
Yes, Libby. Again. She needs to learn how to write all her stories
under her own name.
We agree...
Jamie and Bridget Wilde. (Or was it Rob Barba? Libby Thomas? We get so
confused sometimes...)
