I think this clusterfuck has gone on long enough.
Thank you for putting us in the picture Georgasaurus as to how that site *works*.
*laughs*
In the loosest sense of the word, yes. xD

Edit: Sorry for the late response. Went to buy food and dinner and things. ^_^
Oh believe me, I know what it feels like. I've had my pen name stolen before and ransomed back to me. I've also had various people posing as me on other sites and signing petitions under my name trying to make me look like a sexist bigot. However, I've come to stop caring. People want to pose as me? Fine. They'll get no reaction from me and so it becomes a waste of their time. Meanwhile, I carry on with my life writing stories and talking to the people I love. The only thing it could possibly effect is my ego, and only if I let it.
As for the rest of it, I'm sorry that your frustration led to such a conflict. It's a pity it ended like it did. And even though you say you won't be returning to the site, I can unblock you, if you like?
Couple of things. First, you're looking at an uber hater with an out-of-date profile. Good job there with finding relevant, unbiased information, bro. ;)
Secondly, no one here 'attacked' the LU, so the LU isn't out to cause any trouble. If my members come here and start being dicks again, I'll rage at them. I see no problem other than a simple misunderstanding.

imagine this, you visit a site and you find what ever bio it is you use on your site, your name, your reputation, personal details and below it are stories that aren't yours and it's being used by a person claiming to be you. i would feel violated. right now i am dealing with some very personal stories that were also taken - it's an eye opener, let me tell you. and it's doubly frustrating when you come to the realization that probably, nothing is going to be done about it. Had i known the inner workings of the site, things might have gone differently, but i didn't. Adding fuel to the fire were actual members of the site going thru the same thing and voicing their frustration.

or if your not convinced, a quote from themselves
"Bear in mind that the LU is a close community. We talk at the LU forum and have made friends with other members. Attack one of us, attack all of us. If you post a hate story/hate group/revenge flame/hate mail, don't be surprised if you suddenly find a large number of flamers and concritters at your digital door wanting to get in on the fun."

See that bit at the top that says "online" - click it - makes things a lot more bearable
I see! Thank you very much. ^_^
Hi there, guys. New to this website, so if I mess up the posting somehow, then I apologise.
I'm the admin for the Literate Union. Saw that one of our members came over to say hi and thought I should settle things down before we all start raging at each other.
A couple of things to clarify:
-- I'm not here because I'm butthurt over any particular action of any particular person. Sprite was banned by one of my mods for her (I assume you are a her. Sorry if you're not) behaviour. That is as far as my care extends over the matter. I'm too busy with things like university and other activities to be bothered by such an incident. We see it all the time. Nothing new, nothing shocking, nothing worth me getting flustered over.
-- I do not care about the reputation of Fanfiction.net. It's a site I go on, like many other. Therefore the comment 'If you're butthurt because a victim of plagiarism showed her displeasure and you think it made a site you're part of look bad' does not apply to me. I go on FFnet to read stories and talk to my friends. That doesn't make the site itself any less shit.
-- The LU does not run Fanfiction.net. We have no power past reporting.
-- The LU does not have the ear of the site admins. They ignore us just as much as they ignore everyone else. The only reason our reports go through is because we have strength in numbers. However, past basic story reporting, we are powerless. Emails and messages sent to the site admins from us will be ignored the same as any other user. That means sending emails to report a copied bio will also be ignored. Although to my knowledge, the site seems to only recognise plagiarism in the form of stories, not bios.
-- Being a published author does not grant you exemption from the Literate Union rules, nor will it change my attitude towards a person. I treat people equally until I get to know them. OK, so there may have been a misunderstanding over LU rules, but the attitude displayed (one of indignation at our ability of being able to do nothing) was not welcomed. I understand now that you weren't aware that we couldn't do anything at the time, Sprite, but try to see it from our perspective. You didn't like the fact that we didn't do anything to help you and started to be less than pleasant with us. Do you really expect us to respond positively to that?
Anyway, I'm here to try and resolve the issue in a place where you are more comfortable. Hopefully we can clear up any misunderstandings and then I can return to my Stephen King book without hearing any rumours that my members are trying to pick fights with yours.
