* [[http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/Usagi_Kou Usagi Kou]]. a Sailor Moon cosplayer whose antics are numerous, but best summed up like this: she has proclaimed that other Sailor Moon cosplayers are not cosplaying the character, but are trying to cosplay as her. It has been theorized that she may even [[DaydreamBeliever believe]] she \'\'is\'\' Sailor Moon. She was also accused of cheating in Cosplay Contests and had to give back her rewards when people realized she did not make the costumes herself. She supposedly demands that any boyfriend she has \'\'must\'\' cosplay/act like Mamoru.

* Another Sailor Moon example: Miss Dream, a team of \\\"translators\\\" that focus on Sailor Moon merchandise, manga, [[SeraMyu musicals]], etc. They were beaten to the punch by SailorMoonFansubs on a SeraMyu, and harassed the owner until he shut down the site. They\\\'ll try and sway you into thinking they\\\'re good translators (they\\\'re not. They add an extra step by writing it in Japanese instead of translating directly) and should you stand up for SMFS they\\\'ll tear you down just as bad.
** Alternatively, Robert Betts (the owner of SMFS) is a batshit insane psychopath who demanded Miss Dream\\\'s crew work \\\'\\\'for\\\'\\\' him--not \\\'\\\'with\\\'\\\' him--and went postal when they politely refused on the grounds that SMFS\\\'s subs weren\\\'t of the quality that MD wanted. Betts then compared MD\\\'s crew to literal trolls, Nazis, pond scum, subhumans, etc. because they didn\\\'t want to translate for him. Granted, MD did create a satire group on LJ to make fun of SMFS, but it\\\'s not like the owner of SMFS has been any bit nicer. A list of his real-life exploits could fill this entry.
** He also has a tendency to compare himself with Megan Meier (the teenage girl who was DrivenToSuicide after being bullied by a rival\\\'s mother), as seen on his new site [[http://www.livejournalabuse.com/ Here.]] This was made soon before the LJ community vanished, so now it\\\'s just him extending this drama further then it needs to be.
** He went as far as [[MoralEventHorizon falsely accusing Miss Dream of being]] \\\'\\\'[[MoralEventHorizon a child rapist]]\\\'\\\', in an attempt to ruin her offline life. \\\'\\\'All because of Sera Myu fansubs\\\'\\\'.
** Even before this whole Miss Dream debacle, Betts made a name for himself in controversy by stealing a good amount of Sailor Moon fanartists\\\' work for his site. Attempts by the angered artists to get him to take the artwork down ultimately became futile. He also flirted with a teenage fan, which became all the more Squick once his actual age became known, and posed as a \\\"33 year old woman\\\" (the age Usagi would be in the 21st century) to gain more fans when he opened up SMFS.
** Another interesting tidbit, Miss Dream released a never before translated musical (2002 Summer, Mugen Gakuen) as their debut in October 2009, and then their second release (2003 Starlights! Ryuusei Densetsu) was available a few weeks later. Bob Betts then harassed his translator, Innocent-Ami, for not \\\"translating fast enough\\\" to compete with Miss Dream releases, and because of this, he decided she was ultimately \\\"siding with evil\\\", which was a bad mistake on his part as he lost his precious translator for this and thus crippling Bob\\\'s fansub group.
**Bob and his two admins, ShineOn (a.k.a Jim Betts, a relative of Bob\\\'s, who is about 20 years his junior. Yet to be determined if he\\\'s a brother, son, or nephew) and ydkmn (A 24 year old lesbian who lives in Greece, and thinks she is great at English grammar, when she is barely understandable at times. Long Before Miss Dream formed, She had a vendetta against Miss Dream\\\'s top admin, who once told her off for running her mouth about American Politics, which she knows nothing about.) They constantly compare Miss Dream to Sailor Moon villains, such as Beryl. Sailor Moon is Serious Business.
**As of late, SMFS is filling up quickly with the worst rejects from the fandom. The forum is now essentially a cesspool of fail.
***Apparently Betts banned his temp-admin for \\\"siding against\\\" him when she became friends with a few of the Miss Dream girls to get their sides of the story and attempt to talk them down from fighting him further, then he turned the forum into more of a totalitarian ordeal OrSoIHeard. Not to say that the girls were in the right either, when you\\\'re waging an internet war with someone like Bob Betts and his history of wank in the Sailor Moon fandom, you should know that making a satire community won\\\'t help calm his craziness down.
* XJapan fandom has BXTE, a site ran by two [[LoonyFan rather aggressive Yoshiki stalkers]] that began as \\\"Bring X To Europe,\\\" then, when [=PanthereNoire=] and [=KrazyJess=] were banned from both the XFreaks messageboard and \\\"Bring X To Europe,\\\" became \\\"Bring X To Everyone.\\\" [=PanthereNoire=] not only pretty much singlehandedly runs a {{Hatedom}} for late guitarist [[HidetoMatsumoto hide]], but will organize efforts to push other fans out of the fandom, issue false legal threats against people who like or ship things she doesn\\\'t like, and position herself and BXTE as the fandom\\\'s sources of information. If you get a legal threat in the XJapan fandom, and you\\\'re doing anything short of bootlegging the band\\\'s entire discography or mailing dead things to the band members, it\\\'s most likely a sign that [[SarcasmMode PanthereNoire loves you]].
* Possibly because of the behavior of the author of the source material as noted below, \\\'\\\'{{Twilight}}\\\'\\\' fandom seems to be spawning these.
** [=AngstGoddess003=]: [[http://www.examiner.com/x-4908-Twilight-Examiner~y2009m3d5-Fan-of-Twilight-series-fanfiction-Wide-Awake-Exclusive-interview-with-the-author Have an interview.]]
** Segolily: [[http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=399565595&blogId=469112926 Doesn\\\'t like]] [[http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=399565595&blogId=472817819 being called]] [[http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=399565595&blogId=474063873 a fanfic author]], despite admitting that her recently self-published book is heavily based on \\\'\\\'{{Twilight}}\\\'\\\' and is actually an old fanfic of hers that she\\\'s [[DolledUpInstallment dolled-up and sanitized of copyrightable elements like the original names]].
** Lady Sybilla, whom no one had apparently ever even \\\'\\\'heard of\\\'\\\' before in the fandom before she became the writer of \\\"[[FixFic tribute sequel]]\\\" \\\'\\\'Russet Noon\\\'\\\', and was convinced the entire Internet is made up of one person with a grudge against her after the fandom at large and fandom_wank told her that her understanding of copyright was... [[CriticalResearchFailure flawed at best]]. She was banned from {{Wikipedia}} after refusing to believe that her \\\"highly controversial\\\" unreleased fanfic [[CaptainObvious wasn\\\'t notable enough]] and continually [[EditWar reinstated its article]]. Try to read the [[http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/The_Russet_Doom_Saga Russet Doom Saga]] in all its glory and not boggle.
*** A sample from one of her \\\"press releases\\\", as she calls it: \\\'\\\'It appears that Russet Noon has already achieved taboo status without having even been released yet. That\\\'s what happens when a Darth Vader figure like Lady Sybilla is created. And now she\\\'s found a worthy opponent: [[http://wiki.fandomwank.com/index.php/Peter_David Peter David.]]\\\'\\\'
*** She actually has a link to \\\'\\\'this\\\'\\\' page on top of the front page of the \\\"book\\\'s\\\" site. Truly, [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity any publicity is good publicity...]]
* No one is exactly sure whether the \\\'\\\'DoctorWho\\\'\\\' fanfic writer Sparacus is an example of this trope played straight or a parody of it. In either case, he repeatedly insists that \\\'\\\'Fanfic/TheBenChathamAdventures\\\'\\\', his series of horribly written, thinly veiled wank fantasies \\\"starring\\\" one-time soap star Adam Rickitt, are the most popular works of fan fiction in the history of \\\'\\\'Who\\\'\\\' fandom, and are part of the show\\\'s canon. Any attempt at criticism is met with accusations of homophobia or, more frequently, just the word \\\"Unfair!\\\" Perhaps the crowning glory of Sparcus\\\'s insanity (real or otherwise) happened when he wrote to \\\'\\\'DoctorWhoMagazine\\\'\\\' demanding that they run a feature on Chatham and his adventures (to which the magazine\\\'s writers pretty much replied \\\"Eh, what\\\'s that? Chatham who?\\\") He also has a tendency to make {{Suspiciously Specific Denial}}s that hint towards a rather... lurid nature.
* The \\\'\\\'HarryPotter\\\'\\\' Latin-American fandom has Francisca Solar. A Chilean ex-fanfic author, now writer with a very popular multi-chapter fic (which, from we could see before it was taken off [[FanFictionDotNet ff.net]], was an Elven MarySue and Harry\\\'s One True Love), she openly stated that she thought her fic was deeper and more complex than JKR\\\'s, bashed Tolkein for being \\\"so slow\\\" and \\\"so detailed\\\" and denied the MarySue accusations by saying \\\"Stella (her Sue) is a redhead like me, but it\\\'s just a coincidence, and she only looks perfect because she\\\'s not human\\\", and claimed that JKR might have read her fic since the plot of the sixth book \\\"had some similarities\\\" to her fanfic. [[http://candy002.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/para-francisca-solar-con-nada-de-aprecio/ Here are two]] [[http://malosfics.foroes.net/libros-plagas-sin-salvacion-f20/estellita-ejem-el-ocaso-de-los-altos-elfos-by-francisca-solar-t968.htm Spanish links]] that give testimony of her attitude.
* The creator of the Pokemon Simulator \\\"ShoddyBattle\\\", Colin. When his server was the only one active, he would ban people for weeks for disagreeing him. He has also been known to ban people for daring to report bugs and accuse them of being responsible for errors in his code.
* Joe_Cracker. Joe freaking Cracker. This IGN forumite had ambitious plans to create a \\\'\\\'[[TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]]\\\'\\\' movie called \\\"The Light of Courage\\\" and attempted to garner support from IGN users, despite several of them telling him that he did not own the rights to \\\'\\\'Zelda,\\\'\\\' and that Nintendo would not just hand them over. He responded to this by claiming that all he had to do was contact [=DiC=], the animation studio that produced the [[Animated/TheLegendOfZelda 1980s cartoon series]]. The \\\"scripts\\\" he used were absolutely atrocious, badly spelled and formatted. He also maintained the delusion that his movie would have an AllStarCast, with Bruce Willis, Britney Spears, and Whoopie Goldberg in major roles. Trolls from IGN played along and produced [[http://www.dancingtriforce.com/ three videos]] based on his scripts. [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/people/joecracker.html Read the entire saga here]], with more information on him and his \\\"films\\\" [[http://www.herbalcell.com/tloc/ here]]. To add to the ego factor, he described absolutely everything he did with neologisms like \\\"Crackasized.\\\" His entire story seems to be like that of [[{{Sonichu}} Christian Weston Chandler]], but without the sexual perversion.
** Joe_Cracker\\\'s other \\\"films\\\" like \\\'\\\'The Unknown Creature\\\'\\\' display his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKThaIvApGQ complete inability to actually make a film]].
* \\\"Lord\\\" Slyther Sniperdragon (the Lord, he uses to refer to himself) is a complete narcissist who makes Game Mods (and Machinima) for [[{{TheElderScrolls}} Oblivion]]. While he is indeed legitimately talented in the fields of modeling, texturing, and coding, he is an atrocious story writer. His character is a full on combination of BlackHoleSue and GodModeSue with a tinge of RelationshipSue. His character\\\'s wife is quite obviously meant to be [[http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t14/skye9990/Twilight%20Princess/Midnacopy.jpg Midna]] from the [[{{TheLegendOfZelda}} Zelda]] series. His machinima also completely derails the personality of [[{{BarrierMaiden}} Martin]] and [[{{PatrickStewart}} Uriel Septim]], just so he can be the hero. However, what really tops it all off? He genuinely believes he\\\'s the greatest thing to ever exist, and \\\'\\\'extremely\\\'\\\' paranoid. However, he \\\'\\\'completely\\\'\\\' flies off the handle if you even \\\'\\\'slightly disagree\\\'\\\' with him. A debate with him \\\'\\\'will\\\'\\\' end with him threatening to \\\'\\\'sue, and call the police on you, as you are either attacking him, or harrassing him in his eyes.\\\'\\\' However, he himself has made attacks on others, all while shrieking and screaming, as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiIy_pYWQes here.]] And the paranoia? He honestly believes that \\\'\\\'all of Anonymous\\\'\\\' has a personal vendetta against him.
* [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/990976/Dakari_King_Mykan Dakari-King Mykan]], self-appointed scourge of the {{Digimon}} fandom, is a reasonable contender for MostTriumphantExample of this in both obscurity and deluded arrogance.
