@  Alexandria : (23 May 2013 - 01:43 PM) It's a lovely day out! A walk is clearly in order.
@  Anesor : (23 May 2013 - 06:09 AM) hi
@  Belfry : (23 May 2013 - 05:53 AM) hi
@  BronxWench : (23 May 2013 - 04:10 AM) Good night!  :D
@  Anesor : (23 May 2013 - 04:10 AM) good night!
@  BronxWench : (23 May 2013 - 04:09 AM) And now I need to go pretend to sleep.  :D
@  BronxWench : (23 May 2013 - 04:00 AM) DG's off for the night, but I can let her know tomorrow that you want to set up a joint account, and she can send you both the particulars.
@  Anesor : (23 May 2013 - 04:00 AM) and done before midnight, too!
@  Anesor : (23 May 2013 - 03:59 AM) yay revision done!
@  BronxWench : (23 May 2013 - 03:58 AM) Nope, not at all!  :D
@  somkun : (23 May 2013 - 03:58 AM) cool, so my email to tos_team wasn't completely in vain?
@  BronxWench : (23 May 2013 - 03:57 AM) @somkun  DemonGoddess sets those up.  What it is quite literally is an account separate from both your individual accounts.  You'd make an email account for it, and if you like, you can both have access to the email and the profile.  It's been done for others here before, and the advantage is that you both can access and edit the work as needed.
@  Anesor : (23 May 2013 - 03:55 AM) :gn: Shiva! sleep well
@  somkun : (23 May 2013 - 03:54 AM) Night!
@  Windrider Shiva : (23 May 2013 - 03:54 AM) Alright, coffee isn't helping anymore. I need some sleep. Nite nite
@  Anesor : (23 May 2013 - 03:52 AM) revising #5
@  somkun : (23 May 2013 - 03:52 AM) How do I go about a joint account?
@  BronxWench : (23 May 2013 - 03:52 AM) LOL--no worries!
@  somkun : (23 May 2013 - 03:51 AM) Right after I email... derp, thanks
@  BronxWench : (23 May 2013 - 03:50 AM) @somkun If you are going to be posting a lot with this co-author, we can even help you set up a joint account for your co-authored works.

Once again, we have someone who thought it'd be CUTE to not only steal someone's story, but try to steal their writing identity.

The author's actual profile (on Live Journal)
Posted Image
note that this account was created in 2004

The fake profile

Mind you, the user only added the ONE story, and only logged in to add that ONE story. Whereas the real author has quite a bit of work published at different sites.

Original story
Posted Image
Story was posted ten months before the stolen copy was posted here.

Stolen story
Posted Image
Notice that it's word for word?

Of course, the publication date speaks for itself, yes?

I don't get it. Do you? Why is it that people think this is okay to do? It's NOT okay. This user is never welcome back to this site.

I will never understand why people do this. Outright thievery. Good job on the research, DG!

The author contacted US. Minimal research on this end, honestly. As you can see, this one is very old, from 4 years ago.
