WTF?

[scatteredlogic]

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

You aren't the only one I found my story there too or one of them at least

[scatteredlogic]

I saw that. :( I started to post a list of the people that I figured hadn't given chosen to archive there, but figured it would be best for everyone to just check for themselves. ~sigh~

[anijade]

*le sigh* is there anything we can do to un post our stories or make him take it down?

[scatteredlogic]

I just sent a email to the only contact address that I could find. In the news section, there's a Stephanie listed, and the email address is: stephanie@thepotionsmaster.net

Wasn't this a HUGE deal several months ago? I'm shocked he's still copying fic after all the wank last time. Unbelievable!

I doubt any of my stuff is there, but I'm going to go look for some of my friends. Goodness.

[scatteredlogic]

There are a lot of familiar names, and I suspect that most of them will be surprised to see their stories there. ~nods~

[sshg316]

I see a story by ginny_weasley31 right on the front page. I don't see a listing of authors. Deliberate? Or did I just not look hard enough?

[scatteredlogic]

I suspect that it's deliberate. I've emailed her and Shiv about their stories. I don't think they have any idea they're there, either.

[zafania]

i thought that had all been sorted out becasue someone comlained to the service proveder and it was suspened?

ot am i thinking of something else?

[scatteredlogic]

I'm not sure if it was ever suspended, but there was certainly a huge amount of wank over it, and most people that I know pulled their stories and stopped using the archive. However, the archiving without permission is obviously still going on.

[zafania]

which sucks, do you even get to read your own reviews?

[scatteredlogic]

No reviews. ~raised eyebrow~ Another reason to delete them there. ;P

[deeble]

None of mine seem to be there, which, ironically, makes me feel a bit slighted. There's no accounting for the human mind.

[scatteredlogic]

Obviously, they have no taste. ;)

I was surprised to see mine there. I'm such a small blip on the radar. ~shrug~

[deeble]

Tchah. You're not just an author, you're also a blogger and you run your own archive. (This gave me an excuse to re-read "The Whole to Own" and enjoy it all over again.)

Oh, but on clicking on the link, it leads into Nirvana. Sorry 'bout that, overexcited fan of yours here. ;)

When it happened last year, I asked for my one story to be removed, and it promptly was. I checked now, and it is still gone. Apparently, it wasn't popular enough to be re-posted behind my back. For once I'm not too sad about that.

They've missed you and Deeble, then. ~points up to her comment~ Obviously, they have no taste. ;)

[veradee]

This is strange. I had a look at the authors' listing where I appear after all. But when I click on the link to my story, I'm forwarded to my story at the new and real WIKTT. It's obviously just a link. The story is not hosted at Whispers.

[scatteredlogic]

ginnyweasley_31 and southernwitch69 both remembered that he once had an archive that was comprised of links to other stories, so perhaps this is some sort of strange merge between the two databases?
