Plagiarism...

[mikagechan]

It was brought to my attention today that my fic has been translated into Spanish without my permission. Upon looking in the Spanish section under KKM on Fanfiction.net, I noticed that there were other fics that have been translated as well. Some of them give credit to the original author (there may be one or two of them that don’t), but there’

Oh dear. On one hand I think it's hugely flattering to have a story translated for foreign readers, but on the other hand, I would expect the translater to ask for permission - that's what's always been the case with me (apparently someone in Hungary likes my stories, but she always asks first). Good luck finding the answers.

[mikagechan]

Thanks. Honestly, if this person had come to me and asked, I would have been extremely, extremely flattered by the request, and I probably would have seriously considered it and even allowed it.

[mikagechan]

:) Don't worry about it.

Thank you for telling me about this.

[mikagechan]

Oh, really?? Well... looks like I'll be seeing about having some accounts deleted today...

Why is it so hard for people to ask for PERMISION??? I just don't get it.... D:<

I was devastated when I read your AN about stopping your fic.... I really hope this straightens out for you.

P.S.
(I couldn't help but get an image of Yuuri in my head yelling out “JUSTICE!”) xD

I have a feeling they think it's alright not to ask permission simply because it's fanfiction and not something original.

Right now, I'm working on getting all this fixed. I'll definitely still be working on the fic, so that when things are as settled as they can be, I can get back to posting. Hopefully 'settled' will mean the translation is gone from both sites, and I won't have to worry about this anymore.

Darn, on one hand, it's flattering, but then not asking for permission is horrible! I really hope the whole problem clears up soon for you. >< *bashes plagiarist on the head with Yuuri's baseball glove*

[mikagechan]

I would have been really flattered if they'd asked my permission first. Instead, I'm just angry. ><

>< As a fellow writer, I understand how you feel; it just sucks to see your hard work taken away so easily by others. But don't be discouraged from working on the ficcie because of this! >< I think it's fantastic, and really hope to read more *is a bum at reviewing* >< Hope everything clears up and you can update on it soon.

[mikagechan]

I'm certainly doing my best to make sure this is all taken care of. I'll definitely still be working on my fic during the time in which I'm doing so, just not posting anything on FFN.

[kuroyune]

The strange part is that it gives a warning for Lemon and Mpreg which neither are in the Love and War fanfic (at least, not yet? for the lemon).

So was it reported and removed, only to be uploaded again? Still no mention of mikagechan, the original author.

[mikagechan]

Lemon? Potentially; I haven't decided yet. Mpreg? Definitely not. If I wanted to do an Mpreg fic, I would start a completely different one and warn people about it from the beginning.

I have no idea if it was removed only to be put up again. If that's the case, I'm hoping it will be deleted again soon.

[shukuchan]

Yes, it does look like it was put back up in the Amor Yaoi site, since it was published on the 22nd, just yesterday, and the link kuroyune showed was up on the 19th. The one on FF.net and this particular site are the same person.

I knew there wasn't going to be an Mpreg in LaW since you mentioned it last chapter, maybe that's why the Spanish translator got confused. And I've been reading Covering the Bases on the side. I just wasn't sure if there was going to be lemon in later chapters or not, since you hadn't yet said anything about it.

Either way, I really hope this does work out. Looking at the reviews of the Spanish version, you've got a lot of people behind you, even the reviews in Spanish are saying that it needs the permission of the original author. Think you could get away with updated it in your LJ instead? *is a little hopeful 'cause she doesn't want this person to screw it up for the rest of us*
