Poem stealing

[maiafay]

I've had a problem with a FFN user called The Battling Bard, aka The Last Temptation of Homer. Me and a few others have caught her (or someone associating with her) attempting a frame up. It appeared she signed onto a LOTR site with my penname and then copy pasted stories that weren't hers or mine onto that account. I have screens, and one of the

There are certain parts of the post I'm not quite following what the connection and it's importance, such as Here is another screen of her author page: note the URL and compare with the URL from Exhibit A screens. Now, unless someone "hacked" her and used her diction (and she never noticed?) then this is proof she made this Myfandom account herself.

I'm not getting how the URLs and the Myfandom account connect to each other and what it proves. If you could clarify that, that would be quite helpful.

Yesterday I had the brainstorm to message a few people on Deviant Art who had left responses to Kai's last message and appeared to still be active on DA. I figured if I were to go inactive on LJ, there are several people here who have a variety of ways of getting in touch with me. I figured the same was probably true for Kai.

Clever :)

So, have you talked to her? Does she know what's going on?

I sent a reply message back, probably similar to yours, with links and such. I just did that a couple hours ago, so I haven't heard back.
