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.

Oh man! That totally SUCKS!!! Gah! Why are people so incredibly STUPID like that? It makes me SO MAD!!!! :P :P :P

Imitation is a form of flattery. Somone who is inspired to write something similar to you or based on something you wrote, but making it entirely their own. That is not imitation, however. That is STEALING!! Not the same thing.

Grrrr.....well, I'm sorry that you had to deal with that :/ *HUGS*

I've sure been inspired bunch of stories and authors. But if I've ever written anything too close to another's (which I haven't) then I sure would ask for permission before ever posting. And I certainly wouldn't just outright steal.

Stupid people suck. Some friends and I have a code where when we want to talk about boys, we say BAS (Boys are Stupid). This is a total case of PAS.
