Plagiarized. Verbatim. Again.
Ungh. Interesting night.
So, here I am, minding my business and finishing In His Eyes (That chapter will post shortly) when I get an e-mail from my little brother. He’s like, there’s no way to tell you this without getting you mad, so… and there it is. A link to one of my oneshots plagiarized verbatim on fanfiction.net. Again. And should I mention that the idiot posted it 25 fucking times with different titles? My guess is that every chapter is stolen from myself, and probably others, and the genius failed epically at stealing them correctly.
I can’t roll my fucking eyes any harder.
First reaction? Fury, of course. This trick not only stole my shit, but stole my birthday fic from 2006, Crush The Night. That story is only posted on my personal sites and Deviant Art, so now we’ve narrowed it down. But I’m sure she lifted that from one of my houses.
Talk about that asshole digging deep into the fucking archives, huh? And still got caught. Douche. I only have a small amount of stories posted on FFN because it’s a shitty site with absentee mods. These people don’t address anything, no matter what it is. Case and point? Their forums are full of questions and complaints from people wanting to know where the fuck the admins are. The really sad part is that, aside from trying to bang this chapter out for Linds, I’ve gotten a bunch of mail and PMs from people on that site asking for an update. So I was gonna be nice and post it there right away. Well, yeah, I’ll still post it… along with a note letting them know I’m not posting anything else there. That site is cock, and after 5 thieves, I’ve had it.
Usually after being plagiarized I’ll shut my site down for a bit. But I’m not going to do that this time. TBH, I’m tired, people. I’m tired of bullshit, I’m tired of the hundreds of people that visit and never review and I’m tired of being the proverbial “Whipping Grrrl” and plagiarism target. I fail to see where the BS is worth it. I was finally getting back into writing, hence the fast updates, but what the FUCK am I doing it for? Seriously.
I’m out.
EDIT: Looks like xXinukagloverXx deleted that fic already. I guess there’s no point when you get caught less than 24 hours after posting stolen work.
