Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since I've posted on this journal so it really bothers me to be bitching and moaning after you haven't heard from me in so long but here's the problem. I just got an alert from a member of my flist that someone named number 1 gus fan has started posting my fic Gene Pool on fanfiction.net and is calling it

i was just going to send you a pm about that. it says right on the page that it's chapter one of gene pool. i can't imagine someone stealing someone else's work. i don't know who it is, but i hope you can contact whomever is in charge of the site to have that person banned.

i don't know who the modrators are, but i just wrote the thief and told them that they should be ashamed of themselves for stealing the story. i see whatelse i can find out.

I found a link to their support and sent them an email. Let's see if they respond. Some people are just pathetic, to quote our favorite guy:)

Wishing you Happy holidays, anyway!

Another writer friend of mine had the same problem. A person took their Veronica Mars fic and turned it into a Bones fic on fanfiction.net.

Someone posted the below info on her LJ to help her out --
Take screencaps and submit a report to stop_plagiarism They are incredibly helpful and will happily assist you.

Hope you get it all figured out! I hate when people are stupid and think they can steal other people's work!

[mickiebg]

Thanks hon. I will do exactly as you say and report this. Some people are too pathetic for words.

Hugs,
Mickie

[jen_knee_suu]

Glad I could help. Just sucks that I'm hleping on something that sucks like this!

I went to the website to see what other works that person has up, and We Don't Need rings is stolen from Midnight Whispers.

Totally pathetic person.

*hugs* Hope this is all taken care of quickly and doesn't affect your holidays!

[mickiebg]

The good news is I'm hearing from all of my flist which is really lovely. So heart warming to know that you are all out there watching out for me.

Hugs u,
Mickie

Wow! Now that takes the cake. It is so blatant that they did not write the story. I took a look at the "authors" other stories and the tone, diction, style and grammar are not even close to your writing. If a person is going to steal then they should take the time to alter it a bit.

I think leaving your original title at the top of the page speak volumes.

I really hope you can get the story removed. Gene Pool is a classic and anyone who has read it knows it is your story and no one else’s.

[mickiebg]

I know, it's so crazy. Why would anyone do that? I'll send an email to the guys over at stop_plagiarism and see if they can help.

Thanks for commenting! So nice to hear from you and thanks for the support.
