Please take the version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" off of your site. A lot of it is "borrowed" from mine and I really do not appreciate it. Basically what you did is take a bunch of stuff from mine and change the perspective and rearrange wording. You know how how the moral of "Copy Catter Hatter" was do not steal other people's work and call it yours? I honestly expected MUCH better of you. For shame.

As proof, here's my version, through Rabbit's eyes, written pretty much EXACTLY two years ago:

Sorry no can do. Besides I never read your verison when I wrote mine. Also I "borrowed" a lot of it from the original.

That's complete and utter bullshit, I'm sorry. If you wanted to post mine up you could have asked me.

The wording of yours is pretty much IDENTICAL to mine. The places that I changed are conveniently changed at the SAME places in yours, albeit one or two stanzas. Everything I kept original in mine is kept the same in yours. I'm not buying your story, I'm sorry.

Even the IDEA of Rabbit being the one seeing Santa and the Queen coming down... It's the SAME thing. There is NO possible way you could have written yours without seeing mine.

Well it's true. Also I have come up with other verisons of The Night Before Christmas.

The Night Before Christmas in Sheetrock Hills (Handy Manny)
The Night Before Christmas in Lazy Town (Lazy Town)
The Night Before Christmas in the Idea Warehouse (Imagination Movers)

Mmm Hmm. Keep telling yourself that. I'm not about to press you further because I do not have time at the present, but if you ever try to make money off of it, I will take legal action.

That is so not true I am NOT going to make money off of them. Besides I don't do that.

Don't worry. In order to take "legal action" she has to actually own her creation. She doesn't own the actual story and she doesn't own Adventures in Wonderland. It was an empty threat, and neither of you could make a dime off of it whether you plagiarized or not. :P

No, neither of us own Disney's AiW. But I do own whatever I create. And Alice in Wonderland is public domain.

It doesn't justify her taking my words (or your icons, or anyone else's property) and calling it hers.

And, if she does it for anything original with intent to publish (which technically, Alice in Wonderland IS public domain, so I could modify my own with intent to do so, even though it's kind of a throw out fun thing out of boredom) the original author CAN pursue legal action. She has to learn what actions are and aren't justifiable. =)
