The petition in 2005
"Tara Gliesbie is totlly Gottik"[1] is a petition Tara Gilesbie submitted to the Internet petition service PetitionOnline between June 20 and June 22, 2005.[2] The petition is interesting as one of the few surviving records of the Tara Gilesbie character written before My Immortal was published. The byline reads "Tara Gliesnie (gofikchick@hotmail.com)"; this is the only confirmed email associated with My Immortal's author.
