Earlier this year I wrote a feature story for Seattle Weekly on Twitter parody accounts. It was a collection of profiles of people who pretend to be other people on Twitter, for fun, or profit, or social commentary, or whatever reason. Without a doubt, one of the most fascinating people I met in the process was Stephanie Drury, the local woman behind the @FakeDriscoll Mark Driscoll parody account (among other notable internet endeavors).

Well, today has to be a big day for Drury. After critiquing the real Mark Driscoll via @FakeDriscoll for over five years (The first @FakeDriscoll tweet came on April 18, 2009. That’s crazy!), today, with the news that Mark Driscoll has resigned at Mars Hill, Drury can finally claim at least a small slice of victory.

Except don’t expect her to.

“I think ahead to Mark Driscoll going down – the empire crumbling,” Drury told me back in May when I asked about her favorite part of being @FakeDriscoll.

So, naturally, I asked her if she would take any credit when it happens?

“No, no, no, no … because it’s the lord’s work. I would never take credit for that,” she assured. “But if people want to assign some credit to me, that’s fine.”
