DISGUSTED!!!

[badly_knitted]

It's no exaggeration to say I feel violated. Someone on FF.Net has taken one of the stories I posted last night (a FAKE ficlet titled 'A Hearty Breakfast), added vile and repulsive content to it, and posted it as their own work. They've also done the same with another story by somone else in a different fandom

this is disgusting, I found her and the story which she calls A breakfast to die for and I will be reporting her on that under not the property of the uploader, this is so wrong she has done this.

Thank you, it's a horrible thing to do, especially the way she's debased my work by adding such disgusting stuff to it. And not just one of my stories, but another author's too. People like this can't be allowed to get away with such behaviour.

*hugs*

I'm so sorry. Hopefully FF.Net will do something about it quickly.

[badly_knitted]

I really hope so, it's just so sickening. Stealing the story would have been bad enough without what this person did to it.

I went and check it out - she wrote herself a review? How sad. Where do I go to report here?

[badly_knitted]

Yes, so pathetic!

I think you might need an account on ff.net, but if not, at the very bottom of the story page, there's a row of three tabs. The first one says 'Actions', click that and select 'Report Abuse' then select from the menu the one that says Not the property of the uploader and write a message in the box.

I have two accounts and reported her under both. I have no patience for this.

[badly_knitted]

Thank you! *hugs* I saw you left her a 'review' too =D

Awesome!

Let's hope all the reports get noticed and that person gets what thy deserve.

Appalling! How dare they call themselves a writer. If you want to do a transformative work, you ask the writer's permission, but it sounds like this doesn't even qualify as such.
This is even worse than when people were stealing fics off AO3 and trying to sell them as ebooks. At least they weren't corrupting the author's intellectual property, though I certainly don't condone trying to make a profit off someone else's IP (even if it's fanfic).
*quietly disgusted*

Edit: even more appalled now that I've seen it. Have reported it and left a nasty "review". What a bitch!

[badly_knitted]

It's horrific that anyone could stop so low, and I feel for the other victim too, who is lovely and sent me a PM this morning to offer support.

I'm waiting impatiently for ff.net to take action against this disgusting person. Thank you for taking a stand against them, I really appreciate it. People cannot be allowed to get away with such foulness.

The timing of all this, when I'm already under a lot of stress, sucks. It would be so nice to wake up in the morning and find the individual gone.

*hugs*

[m_findlow]

I hear you. Hopefully it won't take them to long to vacate this troll, since that's all they are. If not, some of us might be keeping an eye on them for new entries and giving our own opinions on their "quality"...

[badly_knitted]

The moron had the nerve to PM me regarding my reply to her review, actually pointing out her 'story' to me and gloating about how much better it was than mine. I probably shouldn't have responded, but I told her she was infantile and pathetic, and to stop humiliating herself. She's really making me angry now.

[milady_dragon]

You have got to be joking. How dare they? This is just so wrong on so many levels. I can't even imagine what would motivate someone to not only steal something like that, but to change it so horribly. Hopefully, FFN will do something about it. *hugs*

[badly_knitted]

Thanks *hugs*

The troll even PM'd me this morning to gloat about her 'story' and how much better it is than mine *rolls eyes* How many reports of abuse does it take ff.net before they act? Two days and the moron is still there. *sigh* I really don't need this added stress, especially not right now.

I can't imagine what's going through this person's mind. They must like shocking decent people. It's sick. From disgusted and upset, I am now officially angry.

[milady_dragon]

That takes some seriously big balls...

[badly_knitted]

Well, she's not gonna win this one! If she thinks she's pitting herself against a fellow teen who'll run away whimpering, she's wrong! I've been at this decades longer than she has, I'm channeling my inner Ianto.

*fierce grin*
