Here we go again

[lady_karelia]

Courtesy of renitaleandra, we know that The Potions Master dot net has struck again. I'm sure you remember the wank surrounding "Hermione", the guy, who took over from Azrael in none too kind a fashion and then proceeded to lift stories from other archives to host them there without authors' permission.

Now it is a "Stephanie", claiming a crash that forced "her" to use some old back-up material. Well, I had my doubts that this was the reason, but I just dug up some more: If it had been due to a crash that now all and sundry authors who distanced themselves during the first wank are hosted again, I couldn't be listed under both my pen names now, could I? *grumble* Seeing that I only ever posted a couple of stories on the original Whispers, which I then deleted before the wank even started, I find it hard to believe their crash has suddenly caused my other stories to jump to that archive, with one under a different name.

Oh, if anyone wants to see if their name is on there, I've found a listing of authors: http://index.thepotionsmaster.net/authors.php?list=authors

I'll wait a couple of days after sending off an email to stephanie@thepotionsmaster.net this morning. If there's no reply, I shall spam them with postings that violate their terms.

There are three fics of mine there, that I never bloody archived at that site.

I only archived part of "But You Alone" there (before the meltdown), before forgetting about it, and not bothering with the rest. I took BYA bits down from the official WIKTT archives this AM. I've sent an email to this person demanding a password, so I can remove my fics.

I'm moderately annoyed by this.

Only moderately annoyed? I'm royally pissed off with him/her/it. Not only did they steal my stories from TPP but also from Ash, and under my two different pen names. And of course, nobody so far has heard any reply...
