So i'm sure a lot of, if not all of yiou, have heard about the kantayra plagarim issue. darlawinifred got caught for plagarising from Kantayra. Well darla was the first person i spoke to online she was my first beta and i considered her a friend. Unfortunately, as her friend i felt i had to give her the benefit of the doubt and i went out of my way yesterday when i was ( Read more... )

If you didn't do anything wrong - than don't stop writing (posting).
It's not fair that you'll have to suffer of something a friend of yours did.

Sweetie, I've been on lurking mode recently because the way this fandom works was getting to me - you only get somewhere when you kiss arse or suck up to the other authors and I don't want to live a life like that. When it comes to this situation you've foudn yourself in, I've been here and done this all before with other authors. Don't give up writing because someone believes you've done something you didn't. That is exactly what they want you to do. I think you're a very talented writer with a lot to give to this fandom. You acted like any friend would--you tried to resolve the issue! I believe you when you say you had no part in this fiasco and I really think you should just stick it to them and continue writing. I love reading your stories, and I think it would be a great shame for you to stop posting them.

You were only trying to help, if the person in question [the one who decided to slander you!] can't see this then they're blind.

much love, Bitten

Thanks hun, i think i need to take a break from writing though because all of this has really ot to me. I hate feeling like i've done something wrong by trying to be fair to everyone. But it means a lot to me when a writer like yourself who is so talented says they enjoy reading my stories so thanks so much. I think it's something i need to think a lot about and maybe when all this dies down and i feel better i will start posting again

I'm currently on hiatus from LJ. I am pretty sick of this place and what it does to people who are just bystanders. The quicker this fandom gets itself sorted the better, a lot of my friendlies are just as pissed as I am about how getting anywhere in this place is about how much, or how big the arse you kiss is. I highly recommend taking some time away from this place. I have and I'm so much happier, I'm writing for myself now and I'm more pleased with the work I've been doing.

So, take a break...wait for it all to die down again and just ignore the jibes that get thrown your way--because you were only trying to do the right thing and get rid of the offending chapter.

And when I say I enjoy reading your stories, I mean it. I think you're a good writer and you should continue, just take a little hiatus, post at your website and don't let all this shit get to you.

I'm on IM if you ever need to talk. *hugs*

yeah i took a week off a few weeks ago and i loved it, i felt much better and i ahve a lot of uni work to get done in the next 3 weeks in the lead up to easter hols so maybe another hiatus is exactly what i need.

Thanks again, u ahve really made me feel better., knowuing that such a great writer thinks my work is good makes it worth keeping going, even if only for myself.

Thanks

Don't give up doing something you enjoy. I kind of watched this whole thing from the sidelines, but the fact that you're talking about quitting not only writing but your friendship, thought I'd jump in with my two cents ( ... )

I do love to write but the fact that my integrity and the untegrity of my writing is being questioned by a few ppl has really gotten to me. I know that i shouldn't let it because i know i'm telling the truth, but it's just hard ya know?

I think i'm gonan take a hiatus for a few weeks, let everything die down and let myself 'recover' from it all.

Thanks hun!

Thanks hun, it's just one or two ppl questioning my integrity and the integrity of my writing because if all this shit, bt thefact that this has led even 1 person to question my work and my honesty is enough to make me wanna give up. But after talking with a few ppl i'm thinking i may just take another hiatus, for a few weeks concentrate on uni and let this all die down. I think it'll be a good thing.

Thanks hun

*hugs*
