Report from Metrocon
Copied from a post on Den of Demons:
Metrocon was this past weekend, and both LS and Amaira were there. Amaira had no idea any of this was happening at all, so she went to talk to Lady Sayuki about it after we told her about it. In the end, all she had to do was look her in the eye, say she didn’t try to kill her baby or whatever, and Lady Sayuki said she’d post on her blog and take back what she’d said. I’m waiting to see if/when this happens.
There was some truth to Lady Sayuki’s story though- Amaira Rose did run into her last year. Amaira’s a very touchy/huggy person. She hugs as a greeting and tends to put a hand on your arm when she’s talking. She went to hug Lady Sayuki, who she was basically friends with, when someone ran into her. She, in turn, bumped into LS. There was apparently a delay, then an ‘ouch’ or whatever, Lady Sayuki’s boyfriend/husband or whatever was freaking out, but nothing else happened. Amaira hung around the booth for a while, and all was fine.
So yeah, TL;DR Amaira didn’t try to kill her baby, but she did bump into her.
Nice throwing your friend under the bus, there, I guess?
Since she’s going to retract the story on her blog, do you suppose she’s also going to apologize for claiming Den of Demons conspired to hurt her baby? I mean, I’ve asked (even on her forum — posting is moderated and she or whoever is doing the moderating didn’t let my post through) for links to or screencaps of the offending posts, and no one’s provided me with a thing, and now she’s admitting that no one even tried to hurt her baby.
Heck, I’d settle for her admitting that it wasn’t true, sans apology, but I doubt I’m going to get that either. I guess theoretically I could contact a lawyer about her libeling the forum as a whole, since she’s basically falsely accusing us of plotting attempted murder and she knows it, but fortunately for her I feel like that’s a waste of my time.

Just so readers know: Funny word filters on Den of Demons forum include “Bob” for “friend” and “Spongebob” for “boyfriend” – Since this was copied straight from DoD, It still has these words in the sentences. It’s a quirk of DoD we’ve come to accept or even love. : )

Good catch, Baban. I’ve edited out the silly word filtering, just to avoid confusing people who aren’t used to it. (Tho I have to say I occasionally find myself just typing “spongebob” myself…)

Other than Stella Maris’ “support” message, I didn’t see squat.
