So, I was curious to see what came up when I Googled my Kathodos fic because I've got it posted in several places. And I'm thinking of limiting it to one or two. I wanted to see what the hits returned. And, I was STUNNED. Stunned to find that someone had literally copied my work, in its current entirety, and posted it on an e-book site. I don't think they made any money off of it and I have since reported it, but it happened. And I'm seriously mad as hell.
Now, I haven't looked all the way through this person's site to see everything they've copied and published as their own. But I can say that "Songs of the Dead" by Khasrin was another that got the plagiarism treatment.
I guess this is really just meant to be a "heads-up" moment for all of us writers here. Our stuff isn't ever truly safe online, I suppose, but being aware of crap like this and holding people accountable are always good steps to take, regardless.
Just, why?
