WTF?

Aug 25, 2007 11:30

Thanks to renitaleandra for bringing this to my attention, because I'd quite forgotten that the old Whispers archive was still in existance. I don't know if you remember the kerfuffle when a guy who called himself "Hermione" ran that archive into the ground, but I pulled the only two fics that I had posted there when it happened and promptly forgot about the archive.

Unfortunately, it seems that pulling your stories doesn't mean anything there. I just went and looked and five of my stories (that I had never posted there in the first place) are now archived there. They were either copied from Digital Quill, ff.net or LJ, since they weren't posted anywhere else. My userinfo there shows that I've been a member there since "12/31/69" and the contact function on that profile says that I'm "not authorized to access that function."

There's no list of members that I can find, so you have to search by individual name. I'd strongly suggest that if you write HG/SS fic, you check and see if any of your stories have been archived there without your permission. Just a quick look around revealed a lot of familiar names, and you all show to have been members since 12/31/69, just like me. :(

ETA: I've sent an email asking that my stories be removed and my profile deleted. The only contact address that I can find is: stephanie@thepotionsmaster.net

ETA the 2nd: lady_karelia has found a way to access the authors' listing: http://index.thepotionsmaster.net/authors.php?list=authors

wtf, do not want, fic, hp
