First and foremost it's been ages since I've posted anything on here, I've been mostly active on Ao3 to be honest because it's less of a faff to post long fics
( Read more... )
Siiiiigh. I'm extra glad they've deleted their account though - that fic you linked to was mine, now at least I don't have to go tackle them about it! :/
Oh I am even more glad I called them out on it now! By the way I flipping looooooove that fic :)
I couldn't believe someone had the audacity to do it, ooh I was absolutely tamping when I first saw it. When I saw the description I was like 'this sounds good, sounds similar to a prompt I wrote' thirty seconds later 'oh hell no they didn't!'
And finally, hello stranger! Hope all's well with you!
I know! Sixteen thousand kinds of really not cool... Sounded like they were really lazy in their shameless copy/pasting too, from what you were saying about the formatting...!
And yes, hello! I am still alive, shock horror! XD How goes it?

Did see this when you posted it, but they had deleted it by time I checked it out...
Just an utterly random idea, but, I did wonder if perhaps the person wasn't trying to actually take ownership of them... Maybe they found them sitting there all anonymized, thought "ooo I like it, but that thread could vanish for all eternity", so copied and pasted stuff so that it still existed... Someone not understanding how A03 works. Just trying to preserve it and not realizing it looks like claiming authorship... [forever hopeful]

Ooh hello there! Hope you're well :D I'm not on here a great deal now, Ao3 is just a touch easier for posting longer stuff.
If I had taken five minutes to calm down after seeing it then maybe I would have seen it from this angle as well, but I don't know I guess it's because it's happened to me before elsewhere. On Ao3 you can post something and attribute it to someone else...if they had said it was by 'anonymous' I would have gotten a little less nuts over the whole thing.
Ah, glad to see you're still the beacon of reason though :D
