Name and Shame

[shayenne]

Hello world,

Popping up briefly to say two things. Firstly, thank you to darling quantumsilver for the lovely Vgift on my birthday. :) Yes, I had a birthday.

Secondly, I stumbled across several of my Voyager fanfics posted on Wattpad.com by user MaryfenelliShe's recently active (a few days ago) so Voyager writers might want to check out her profile to

Plagiarists. I just don't get them. Bastards that they are. Hopefully, the stories will be pulled soon.

[shayenne]

Yup. Bastards. BTW, I think your gmail's been hacked... Got a dodgy What's App email from you late yesterday

Yikes! I scanned through (I'm small fish so I didn't think I'd see any of mine and I didn't) - one or two I recall reading elsewhere (probably yours!).

How lame. Doesn't LJ have a comm for that too, reporting plagiarists?

[shayenne]

It does too. I might wander over there shortly.

WTF? I'll never understand what some people think they are doing when they copy and paste another's story.
I hope the stories will be removed soon.

The Wattpad site says their customer service is a M-F 9-5 thing, so I hope to hear next week.

Happy belated b-day! Meant to drop a note yesterday, but forgot... oops.

I looked at the person's site. Her two-line cover note contains about half a dozen SPAG mistakes, which might explain why she feels the need to "import". But it's absolutely beyond me what satisfaction someone could possibly get from posting someone else's stuff...?

I just checked the page. She also stole "Natural Progression", from maquisleader, originally posted at http://maquisleader.com/voyager/naturalprogression.htm.

Yeah, I found that one too. I PM'd ML via the LJ system here, but if anyone is talking to her they might mention it. Poor ML... she gets stolen more than any other Voy writer.
