CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

I'm pretty sure the script thing is a fib. She likes to say things that make her seem important, and brag about being under nonexistent non-disclosure agreements.
 
The official reason Tony Todd left Axanar was because he received a role on "The Flash" Was that the reason Leslie stated?
 
People like to make themselves sound important. Leslie suggests she has connections but she has never been able to produce one iota of information that is actually proven to be true. The chance that she's seen a script is slim to none.
 
Also, can someone find me the link that verified her claim that she's one of the two that "broke the story of Roberto Orci's firing on 30 October 2014, 45 days before the news showed up in the mainstream media"?
She's talking about her and her good friend Para Mobius (now Doug Fitz), much of which is documented in this old thread here. She basically took "Bob's script was rejected" and embellished:

To be clear, the crazy woman sitting next to Uhura is the Leslie Owens you saw? Also did she claim to be a distant relative to Nichelle Nichols by any chance?

She's affiliated with Axanar, and is the person to whom the quoted Facebook post was directed. Sorry I didn't make make that clear.


This was a fan panel, not a celebrity one. All four panelists were locals who have a prominent presence in the fandom, via involvement in fan organizations, etc.



She has some connections, which would theoretically be how she would be able to get a copy. I'm certainly not convinced that she's ever actually seen it, though.

And just to be clear, I'm just relaying what she said. I don't particularly believe any of it.



That's just what she claimed. Besides, even if she was telling the truth, I'm sure she wouldn't have actually been authorized to see it.

tolerating being a donor walked over by these business artists is no less

That is her, yes (was referring to her as "the butch" really necessary?).

And please tell me she never actually made that claim.:wtf:
 
Hey, don't judge. 50 Shades started out as Twilight fan-fics. So we could be witnessing something truly special here. Paramount should be thinking of a trilogy of rated R Star Trek films from this with JJ directing if they're smart.

 
I just emailed the convention asking why they let a fan-fic writer that often writes explicit graphic depictions of violence and underage rape be a panelist and provided the links (thanks King Daniel Beyond). I hope someone gets back to be soon.

A lot of smaller conventions bring in fan-fic writers and such for panelists. It's the way conventions have gone for years. The few conventions I agree to attend and be a panelist at almost always have fan-fic writers ... and trust me, they are great panelists, for the most part.

But you also get some yahoos who claim they have some connection somewhere. I was once put on a panel at Necronomicon in Tampa with some guy who said he was a professional spec script writer ... yet, it was only in his head. He didn't have a clue about how the entire process and business works. I listened to him for about 15 minutes, before I started calling him out.

These were people in the audience who were looking to find ways of breaking into the business. The last thing any of them need is bullshit information.

So you get a Leslie Owens at every convention.
