I think I almost feel more violated about the stolen bio for some reason. Feels like someone was impersonating me... and the worst part... linking me to stolen Twilight-esque stories. Gaak!
I sort of laughed that they changed the 'green-eyed blonde' to 'blue-eyed blonde'... I guess that was their attempt to be original?
This person's entire portfolio was stolen. Someone else on the site contacted me that she had stolen their story as well but so far it doesn't seem that much is being done about it.
Thanks to anyone who can help put the pressure on to nuke this plagiarizing parasite.
It's kind of a surreal adrenaline jump when this kind of thing happens. Okay, I will now return to my violent cyber-murder fantasies.

I can't believe that person has done this, let alone gotten away with it before it seems, from comments on the other stories they claim as theirs, you have my full support in bringing this person to justice.
Hi Ashleigh,
I hope you received my pm about this.
If you'd like me to personally approach the owner, after you've touched base with them, please drop me a line. I am more than happy to help out. The same goes for any other author here. I have successfully had stories and profiles removed from other sites. The majority of web site owners will be totally innocent in it all, and more than happy to remove the offending member immediately.
I've heard there are low-lifes stealing stories and making out they wrote it, but trying to steal someone's identity too? That's really low. They must have seen how popular you are here, and wanted to try and emulate your popularity elsewhere. Flattering, and pathetic, all rolled into one.

I don't know much about programming. But I wonder if there was a way to somehow make it so when people copy a story it gets jumbled up when it's pasted. I've seen that before. At least that might discourage the lazier plagiarizers from doing it. It's a bitch to have to retype the entire story. It kind of sucks because I'm sure most authors on here can copy and past the first few paragraphs of their stories into a google search and you will find them posted on other sites.
Hey guys! Apparently this person is a twilight junkie. They stole my story "the seduction of Alexis". I placed a review on it as well. She seems to be ignoring me.
I followed the link and saw that this person had stolen several stories and put them on that site. I sent their site a complaint too. And placed a review saying that the stories were stolen (whether or not they let that get posted I don't know.) That site is not a very good one.
THIS SHIT IS CRAZY! MOTHERFUCKERS ARE STEALING STORIES AND IDENTITIES. THAT IS SO LAME!
That doesn't bode well Just-SJ.
Looking at their whois information, they are part of a massive network of around 500 sites. One could guess their morals may have gone out the window if they are ignoring these kind of reports. Not a good sign at all.
Warning: Fanfic is loaded with spyware
I just quickly checked the site, it appears all 10 of the offenders stories have been removed, however the profile it's self is still up and DD's bio is still up there
I found a couple sites with references to my stories, but had links bringing them to lush.
D_D - you should ask for your profile to be removed totally (again), if they don't comply, please let me know. Drop words like "identity theft" and "Illegal" in there, that usually gets web site owners moving.
A note on searching for your stories. Some smaller sites and blogs in particular, take our RSS feeds, and use them as posts. They are not stealing your work, merely putting a snippet of the story on their site, and it should give a link back to your full story page, unless they are up to no good. That actually benefits authors as you will get greater exposure. It's not story theft as such.
Please note, you guys should contact site owners directly as a first course of action. Only if you get no luck with having your work removed, then contact me. I am extremely pressed for time running this site as it is, so please only contact me when you have exhausted all other avenues. I know how rife it is on the web for content to be plagiarised, I could seriously spend every minute of the day sending out messages to site owners.
I haven't seen any of my stories plagiarized yet, but I could be wrong. I'm just so busy these days that I need a minion to do the checking for me.
I don't feel sorry for the person who's that underhanded to commit a crime like that. I guess hard work doesn't come easy for him/her/it. I hope that person gets caught and removed completely from those sites. stealing someone's bio is just plain wrong.
