More people have blogged about the Yaoi house issues, linked to previous posts, or simply passed the word along. I'll be setting up this post as a list, and update it as soon as I get wind of more (if you find one and it's not here, or if anyone objects to being listed here, please let me know

It's good that this mess gets plenty of attention. The more people can read about it, the fewer will be at risk of adding a subscription or an order - or a submission - with Yaoi House and falling victim of what really looks like a scam by now.

[alice_montrose]

The thing is, it didn't use to be a scam, at first. And that's just... sad. :(

[carmentalis]

I know. :-(

At least this is going to stick with her and not with the authors. In that way, it's good she took a flying leap off the edge of sanity.

[alice_montrose]

One of the main reasons I don't want her company to publish me any more (besides the obvious) is that her credibility has taken a leap off a cliff after this episode. Me, I'd have been far too ashamed about my behaviour to make such outrageous demands from people who picked up the mess I'd left and made it work.

Hi, sorry to hear that you're going through all of this, and I hope all the authors get through this unscathed.

I also posted about this matter on JF's fandom_lounge (a community for announcing projects or news in fandom).

Thanks for helping spread the word. I've added the link to my list.

I also posted on this matter http://ambers79.livejournal.com/2008/05/13/ since alot of the people reading my journal come from Kira's sites.

It is too bad that it has come down to this.

Added the link.

I was really sad to have to do this. But I am, understandably, not happy with people attempting to fuck me over and expecting me to take it.

I can understand why you are mad. It took the tantrum she has pulled with the authors of YH to stop my support of her. She throws a fit about other people taking her stories but she has no qualms about doing it to others.

[alice_montrose]

Mad is not exactly how I feel. I used to be mad when the whole "finding Jesus" episode unfolded, but not any more. I am irritated, disappointed... maybe a little betrayed by her. But I certainly consider myself more controlled than she is when it comes to tantrums. Still, acting like a snotty brat and pissing people off is never a good idea.

Besides, we didn't exactly take her stories without her permission. Anyone having read the posts since this whole soap opera began would know that she initially agreed on ghost writers continuing her work. She even said she'd provide us with the story notes, which didn't happen. And we did give her back the stories when she asked, even if we could have refused. And it's not like we cannot write our own stories, is it?
