That ticks me off!!!!!!!!! What is it with these damned jerks?!Openhome wrote:Hi guys!
I posted a similar post on the Writer's Central thread, but I wanted to let you guys know this as well.
There has been a huge amount of discussion at Twilighted.net about fraud and plagiarism on fanfiction.net and other sites. Several very popular stories there (including vjgm's work and WA) have been taken and posted on other sites or flat out stolen. The recommendation from the writer's at TwN is that each author who uses fanfiction.net should post some type of disclaimer stating that others may not use your work without your express permission.
For readers, the authors are asking that if you find a site that has a fanfiction originally posted at ffn or TwN, please alert the author. Also, if you come across a story that you recognize, but under another author's name, please contact the original author. WA was posted on a separate site without the author even knowing about it, and vjgm's work was flat out stolen from her.
If you are an author and want to post a similar disclaimer, you may use mine as a template or just copy it. Vjgm let me use part of hers when I asked for permission, and I morphed it a little to fit my work. The link to my profile is here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1797881/Openhome
I know this isn't the usual post, but it is becoming a major issue in the fanfiction writing world, and I wanted you to be aware of it.
Thanks for any help you can give,

They aren't bright enough or talented to come up with their own ideas so they have to steal someone else's hard work - their heart and soul.
Too damned lazy! GRRRR!!!!
I wish there was some way that when one of these dildos attempts to steal someone's work and they try to copy it over to another sight, that their keyboards melt with their fingertips still attached and their monitors blow up in their faces!!!!!!
Rant over!!

The lovely Jessica aka cereuleanblue and Jessicai67 has asked me to please make everyone aware of an auction for a very worthy cause.
If anyone is interested, please feel free to read the information below and follow the links.
Thanks!
From cereuleanblue/Jessicai67:
Okay the Support Stacie Author Auction is auctioning off fiction by different fanfic authors to help out a cancer patient (Stacie Holman). Authors are auctioning off their time and offering to write fanfiction requested by the winner of each auction. My auctions are for Harry Potter and Twilight, one shots of a minimum of 2,500 words each.
The auction is three days long from today until Monday Sept 14 at 7 pm. Fans would come in and bid on their favorite author. The winner of each auction would submit their bid via PayPal, and send in their request to the author they bid on via email. The author would then have 30 days to complete the fanfic and send it in to the winner.
There are a lot of great authors up for sale on the site. Hmonster4, manyafandom, ninapolitan, and LOTS of others. Some of the author's bids are up to over $500 each. Right now my auction is up to $40.
Here is a link to the FAQ on the auction:
