It's official
I'm definitely an author. Because I've just caught my stories being plagiarized on this Harry/Hermione site. Same name, all of my Harry Potter stories posted (minus one of them) posted there. The site glitched for a moment giving all of my stories the same posting date which creeped me out for a second because it told me that Missing Her was posted before it was ever written. Then I pressed refresh and the dates made sense.
They say that imitation is a form of flattery, and it could be because I'm already having a shitty day, but fuck, I'm pissed. I contacted the site, so hopefully eveything turns out okay.

no subject
When I was a mod on an Alias website we caught a girl actually plagirizing a novel by Judy Blume (or some famous author). She had taken it from a website and done a "replace all" with the names and was posting weekly updates. No surprise it had rave reviews until someone who loved the real book realised. What a silly cow!!!
Hope the site runners do something about it sweetie. You should be flattered but it is damned annoying - I feel your pain!!!
