Hogwart's School Of Tabloid and Investigative Journalists -- that's the joke that applied based on J. K. Rowling literary creation as the joke was applied when someone took my high school photo from my senior year and doctored it to make me look like Harry Potter on Something Awful. Some factions in the industry when they saw me do a photo giving the finger they tried to do a rule 34 with the photograph and other gross shit. During the era An Eye In Shadows was playing out originally the Chicago Tribune reported on a Gym teacher who was arrested for pulling a Jared Fogle with a 16 year old female student.
Glenbard East became the setting of the Gothic Real Person Fiction horror tale, Wandering In Darkness which became the story of the second namesake. A House of Pain alumni joined the second namesake as an alumni was part of the first one. In the mid-1990s The Echo did a piece about witchcraft and paranormal discussions as students were making jokes about partying with ghosts in the commentary. The nickname "The Occult Glenbard" stuck from this. Discussions on MySpace.com in the 2006 era on the high school group about ghosts was one of the most popular threads invoked as the story from Withersin before it was published as it was being written became the starting point for the discussions.

You'd be surprised what emerged from the 1990s era of DuPage County -- if you read An Eye In Shadows and Wandering In Darkness one will see a much more diabolical look at the insight of the Glenbard consisting of glass, the high school known as Glenbard East. The Cabbie Homicide's guilty party was a class of 1994 as his classmate was in his seventh grade homeroom.
It had been the subject of controversy in the 2000s as a bomb threat, a Columbine style shooting, baseball team hazing (ie the urination on a student aka the Locker Room Urine Incident,) sex scandals and you name it. A regular Hogwarts School of Tabloid and Investigative Journalists when you realize they produced the writer of The Fandom Writer. The editor/publisher who became known for using Gothic.net's former editor's photograph for a urinal cake and uploading the aftermath.

Get the Glenbard East mug.Someone who is sick with the flu in Chicago and often sleeping on their back on the long couch usually with a backpacker liner with hood enclosed with their face showing or wrapped from shoulders to toe in fleece. The reaction might inspire a few creative nonfiction writers who got the idea from old photos going around. The blanket often used is a full size fleece blanket or something that is not bulky. This would be forced the one who is sick to stay in bed and keep them out of their room mates quarters. This is sometimes borrowed from first aid for when those had gone into shock and get the chills; or hypothermia. This is common in the Chicagoland area; where some would sleep in their friends Chevy Van if has a bed set up but make sure they're secured or a makeshift bed in the back of a older station wagon. Sometimes knocked out while the driver is going around looking for a fix not knowing the person who is under the weather needs an IV.
Way we saw the lady hosting a party in Justice there was some guests under the weather and chugging theraflu like it was Vodka in a mug then coughing up their lungs, one of the guests was Egyptian wrapped and sleeping on the couch. They stuffed the wrapped body in sleeping bag too and placed her on the couch. She was running a high fever and had doctor making a house call. Hence they coined this a Couch Mummy.

Get the Couch Mummy mug.The Ethereal Gazette was noted for it's STRICT house rules rivaling the mentality of the Duggar household but aspects that differ as he defined to another who was doing anthologies, another editor knew the rules he coined -- other publishing imprints know this as Prison City Rules. No erotic content but no holds barred. Rule out sexual content but time the swearing, go for subject matter that's ideologically sensitive and able to address social issues when pulling this off. The Issue Five roster embodied the Prison City Rules approach.

Get the Prison City Rules mug.It's a relatively new style of horror that emerged with an anthology called Reality Check: An Anthology Of Horror. It's part horror story part documentary (the narration is used as an unspoken narrator, the video camera, TV camera, or portable vid camera.)
The Blair Witch Project is a good example of the docuhorror sub-genre. This kind of horror makes one think. It makes it scary because it would have a real time effect.

Get the docuhorror mug.Another high profile member of Fandom_Wank that zeroed in on Cassandra Claire during her fanfiction years; she didn't like being confronted by the man behind The Fandom Writer as she coined him a "psychotic asshole" when she realized she was put on the spot on LiveJournal. As she's known to make J.K. Rowling's established characters into donut punchers and peter puffers. Also known as "Avocado" on FanFiction.net as she's part of what they've known as the Carnivorous Wolves of Fandom Wank. Encyclopedia Dramatica was her alleged journalistic source along with co-hort Mindset so he took direct aim at the latter because she was in striking distance.
The community on journalfen.net had the character known as White_Serpent as Fanlore.org pointed out an alleged "Plagiarism" incident that occurred on FanFiction.net where Cassandra Claire was a key figure. What she was doing was a form of hypocrisy when she lifted characters from J. K. Rowling as Brian Lumley according to his copyright page is casual copyright infringement aka plagiarism which The Fandom Writer took a hard swipe at before becoming a published author. An Eye In Shadows according to White_Serpent was an empty threat until it showed up in one incarnation on lulu.com -- TheBookPatch version was revised for historic accuracy of the era. I think the pseudo-journalistic twat should gone after David Boyer of the Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair as he lifted from original fiction writers and the fannish counterparts.

Get the white_serpent mug.I am going to discuss the second definition; it's origins was a classmate in Glenbard East in 1994 prior to graduating as it was in Judo she made the crack. It's a joke referring to some of the colleges in Chicagoland as in the 1990s there was Wheaton College, College of DuPage, Elmhurst College (quite a few are accredited while they have a few where RationalWiki would coin as Fundie School. Two of the alumni from Northwest Baptist Theological Seminary are responsible for major Investigative publication of the Evangelical sect known as Christianity Today and the other was responsible for one of the Illinois translations known as The Living Bible. ) Some of the Gazette were from the City College system as this was where WYCC originated. Young Earth Independent Baptist schools have the name crank school tagged to them because of Uneducated Huckster and Fucking Cartoon promoting diploma mills. Hence the term in DuPage County known as UCLA -- aka University Closest to Lombard Area.

Get the UCLA mug.The name of the bull shark in Lake Michigan named for the story by H. P. Lovecraft, an urban legend with teeth going back before the dinosaurs. Some cases being related of a Bull Shark also found in Lake Erie too, okay the short story "Yest Ye Become One" becomes even more frightening of other cases of this -- WGN in Chicago did a blog entry asking the question. The light blue blog reblogged this making smart ass remarks about how Chicago managed to gain a new pet. Takes what Sharknado and implies it was leftover from that.
By the way; you may not want to put domestic abusers or child sex offenders in a boat with a hole drilled in it within the water's of Lake Michigan. You may never know when an urban legend with Flesh and Teeth comes up doing a bite and run, did we mention we gave him a name. His name is Dagon.
