Fic rec! (and an update on the repost of my fic)

[ldybastet]

For the few people in my circle of friends and acquaintances on my journals who enjoy reading GazettE fanfic, I just want to point you to a piece of fun and hot Aoi/Ruki that

What the fuck? Because people repost stories as their own we as writers should be flattered and or expect it.

I don't even.

[ldybastet]

I know!!! And the threatening tone in her reply, as if I was the one who did the wrog thing and she had all the right in the world to do what she did... *shakes head* and the excuse that it's the Internet, and these things happen? Yeah, they do. Doesn't mean that they are *right* though.

I just don't understand this kind of people.

[karadin]

Argh, frustrates the fuck out of me. Next time just report and have it removed and have your friends troll the fuck out of them.

[ldybastet]

Yeah, I think I'll do that actually. Because this exchange was really bringing a big dark cloud over that day.

The problem with ff.net is that even when an account is reported, it's so rare that the site do anything about it. :(

[annephoenix]

Wow ...
Completely mental ... WHY ARE ANY OF US ON THE INTERNET IF WE DON'T WANT TO BE PLAGIARISED ... ho hum ... I'll send my pornfic to a publisher then, shall I?

[ldybastet]

Definitely delusional! Mmmm, you know it would be wonderful if we could get paid for writing porn, in money instead of in comments!!!

Is this the same one who swiped your Ukitake/Shuuhei? Cause I don't recall seeing any credit to you as an author on that one.

Even so, this one has brass ones! If she wanted people to read it, she should rec it. I know for a fact people can edit their profiles on ff.net and rec other authors' works--hell, one can even provide a link.

The sheer gall of this person to reply to you like that--makes me burn, it really does.

[ldybastet]

Nope, this was a different one!!! There must be something in the water right now. ;)

Definitely balls of brass! Oh, true, profiles can be changed and include recs. That would have been less work than copy/pasting too! LOL

Yeah... I am caught between a feeling of anger/annoyance and confusion/surprise, mostly in a state of mind-boggle, because I just can't understand how they're thinking. Attack is the best defence, perhaps? Anyway, I'm glad they took it down.

I don't suppose it's worth explaining that the point of posting a story is so that people will read it and let THE WRITER know what they thought of it. By reposting she's taking away your feedback ... no, she's stealing your feedback for herself (Unless she was going to tell you and pass on all the comments? No? Thought not.)

But even before the internets there were so-called fans making this excuse for photocopying stories. "What's yours is mine, and what's mine's my own," as the song has it.

[ldybastet]

Haha, nope. I have a feeling that this person, despite claiming to know everything about the true meaning of writing, actually doesn't herself write.

Yep, that is so true. This mentality is not new. It's just that with the internet, it has become so much easier for people to act upon it.

[mako_pretty]

Stupid little fanbrat.

[ldybastet]

LOL Yes! Couldn't agree more.
