[edit] Timeline in fandom
Around December 5, 2000, The Leaky Cauldron was founded by Kevin C. Murphy. [1][2][3][4][5] Early people involved with this project include Heidi8, Melissa TLC and B.K. DeLong. Melissa TLC was very influential in terms of the site's direction by mid-2001 and clearly in control of this late 2002 as it was her baby and pet project. By this time, she was aligned with members of what would soon become SugarQuill, including Arabella whom Melissa TLC would later actively plug and later defend during the incest wank, whatever that was. Heidi's involvement, according to those sources, was largely her own design and was seen by some parties as an attempt to gain greater access to J. K. Rowling and parties related to the Harry Potter movie.
In November of 2001, Sugar Quill had a summit in New York City. It was one of several they would have and summit meeting notes were posted to Sugar Quill’s message board. These message boards are no longer available. The November 2001 summit had several people from FictionAlley.Org show up for a demanded sit down lunch to ostensibly discuss fandom unity. This meeting had Arabella, Moey, Moey's husband, and GinnyPotter from the Sugar Quill and Cassandra Claire and Ashley from FictionAlley.Org at it. According to sources who attended, Heidi8 was scheduled to show up at the meeting but could not get to New York City that weekend. Heidi had really wanted to attend because she wanted to meet MelissaTLC from The Leaky Cauldron. The story according to members of Sugar Quill is that this was Heidi's primary motivation for wanting to go to New York City. At this meeting, the issue of the stalker was not brought up but Cassandra Claire’s real name, Judith, was revealed. It was this revelation that would later lead Cassandra Claire, Heidi8 and Stacey to believe that Sugar Quill had provided this information, Cassandra Claire’s real name, to Jeff. The meeting has been described by some people as tense and uncomfortable. The two groups did not get along. Their problems dated back to HPforGrownUps in 2000, and were further enflamed by the Cassandra Claire plagiarism situation. Relations continued to degrade because of various fic reviews and fic discussion groups, and discussions on FictionAlley Park threads, as well as some at Sugar Quill.
