[edit] Timeline

Below is a partial timeline of events that took place in this fan fiction community.

[edit] 2000

• Cassandra Claire was still writing her epic story and actively publishing it. By this time, she had posted it to two mailing lists and FanFiction.Net. On December 18, 2000, Cassandra Claire posted chapter 9, part 1 of Draco Sinister on ParadigmOfUncertainty. It had the following disclaimer and author notes:

Disclaimer: Not mine, JK's. There are quotes in here from Red Dwarf

(back when it was funny), Blackadder, Buffy, and I realized I'd

criminally neglected Terry Pratchett so far, so made up for it by

nicking several quotes in this chapter at once.

A/N There's a fair bit of telepathic communication in this story,

which is indicated in italics. If you can, read it in Files, where

the italics show up. Otherwise, I apologize if it's at all confusing. [1]

This disclaimer is a bit important as Heidi and Cassandra Claire would later both claim that Cassandra Claire's disclaimers were both okay and properly done, citing the material correctly. This is the disclaimer for the chapter that eventually led to Cassandra Claire's black listing from FanFiction.Net for plagiarism.

[edit] 2001

• On May 31, 2001, the fact that Cassandra Claire was borrowing from other sources and not properly crediting them is not widely known. While she later she admits she did this, Cassandra Claire claimed that there was a sort of game with her readers. This is clearly not visible in posts like the one posted on this day on ParadigmOfUncertainty. In it, a note by Rachel Adams, the author mentions that she was talking to her brother on the phone about the story and had quoted a funny line from the story. Her brother told her that the line was really from Red Dwarf. The author doesn't quite see the Rimmer/Draco symmetry. Still, the author appreciated the references. [2] The context of the post makes it abundantly clear that the author was not aware of Cassandra Claire doing this prior to the phone conversation with her brother. This indicates that fandom at large was not aware of the game Cassandra Claire later claimed was being played, a game that Heidi also verified as going on.

[edit] 2007

• On January 1, 2007, the LiveJournal community 7musicalmusesv2 was created, and it hoped to include Red Dwarf among its fandoms.
