oh, and then, the story that MF and i did together...
"Very good, indeed! Don't like Jack too much, and think he was well disciplined for errant behavior. Keep up the wonderful stories."
i was tempted to write back and say 'yeah, me either - guy was really asking for it' ;)

You got some real gems there I would say Felix...I think together we could put out a book just of comments...
I decided to post my contest story "The Birthday Party" I wrote for Stories Space, Lush's non-erotic site for any who still don't know, recently on a site which features both erotic and non-erotic stories...
I posted it, of course, in a category clearly marked "non-erotic"...I got this gem of a comment today...

What Happen To The Sex
i was thinking that you would have slipped a hard one to your mom.... Unlike other sites, most stories in here includes sex, if you want to write this fiction then go to the Hallmark site"
It's nice to see someone appreciate good writing and not just the sex...eh?
And i meant every word of it!

Sometimes its good not to directly mention them, but allude to them. All depends on what the intent is with the story. I personally dislike words like cock, pussy, cunt, etc. I find them derogatory and used as a means for the author to be lazy. Now, it cannot take away from the quality of an author as a whole, but it can slightly mar the quality of the story. But that's my opinion, not a solid fact.
I was going to say that 'no one would agree with me, but I hate reading any of those words' and then I saw this. I agree with you. This is the first erotica-only website I've ever been on. In all my other writing communities, when I read erotica they never name it.
I pushed inside her works just as well (better in my mind), than I put my dick/cock in her.
Here, I'll be getting into a story and then have hold back laughter after reading cock, cunt, fucked, or the the dreaded 'cum'. The first three won't kill the story for me, but it does water down the arousal factor.
It also depends on the tone of the story. Some stories need that, to be crude, to be dirty, to be nasty, while other stories need to be subtle and erotic, so you pick what works for that story - sometimes cock and cunt and cum NEED to be there, to set the tone, other times, not. simple as that.
My problem with cum is that it isn't a word. Well, it is, but it is a conjunction and doesn't mean 'come'. The other words are just something I need to get used to and like I said, won't ruin the story for me.
Actually,"cum" is an acceptable alternate spelling, as in officially acceptable. and yeah, it took me a while to get comfortable with a lot of the 'stronger' language when i started writing as well

I forget which story it was, it might even have been a poem, and the remarks have since been stricken, but i recall someone making a comment that was perhaps rude, and hey, to each their own, i let it go, but then someone else commented on their comment and a small flame war erupted in my comments section, the two of them going back and forth at if for a brief time! Now I'm wishing i'd saved all that.

Wanna chat? U got cam?
Unfortunately, I don't have a cam. Left it at my parents when I went to university. Is that what those request things are that keep popping up on my screen? Chat thingies? I really don't know how to work this site. XD
*nods* one of the things you get used to here, and it goes away after a while, is chat requests. feel free to ignore them, mostly they are harmless.

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, and 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.
*nods* i can totally understand if my words were taken out of context. however, at no time did i mean to confrontational and, as i have said, i genuinely thought that admin had some pull on the site, being unfamiliar with how it works. Yes, that was made clear to me, but it was made very clear to me that i wasn't welcome to air my issue very early on. obviously, i had hit a wall of frustration by the time i posted and felt like i was getting the brush off, my perception of events, just as it is the admins perception that i was being rude and demanding, which was not my intent. had the issue been simply over stolen stories, it would have been one thing, but a stolen bio:
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.
in retrospect, i guess i am spoiled here. we have mods and a site owner who put a lot of care into making sure it's members are comfortable and taken care of. i settled here and have never gone anywhere else, so perhaps i assumed that it was universal. now i am realizing how lucky i am.
for the record, and this goes for every one on lush as well, i am not interested, nor ever was, in creating friction between the two sites, and since my goal of having the stories and bios removed, i will not being coming back. it's simply not a good fit for me. i am truly sorry if i came off as anything but a writer trying to protect the work that i put a lot of time and effort and love into. that was not my intention.
sincerely,
sprite

SumYungGai. Welcome to our site. If you intend to join our community and enjoy yourself, then let us know how we can help with that. 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, then you're going about this the wrong and most disprespectful way. There's no need to cast judgement on writers; that's not what this issue is about. We're not interested in starting a war, we're only interested in maintaining integrity of a writer's work, no matter the genre. I'd think that you would be interested in the same thing, no?
It was not my intention to judge, only to remind a pair of your users that respect is a two-way street, and not one that can be paved over with false niceties. If they wanted our help, they should have approached us much more humbly.
Sprite: I would say that I, too, am a generally well-respected and respected member of the community in which I write and publish my stories. Would you like to know the difference between us, though?
I don't need to post pictures of my pussy to get views.
i have never posted a picture of my pussy. i think that, if you read my stories, you'll understand why i have get views. and really, i think you just shot your self in the foot, Mr. "respect is a two way street." i'm sorry for occasionally having a little fun with my avatar picture. if it so offends you, maybe this isn't the site for you.

A quick message to Dancing Doll and sprite:
I'm not sure why you've decided to rag on the folks at the Literate Union. The administrators of that forum are NOT the administrators of the website, and other than report stories, there is next to nothing they can do about these plagiarized stories. When a plagiarizing author deletes their stories, and they are unable to report said stories, they are, in effect, powerless.
You complained that you'd been waiting three days for a response to your email; I would consider it reasonable to allow the very busy site administrators some time off on the weekend. Yes, it is a fairly big deal that someone stole your stories and biography, but with millions of stories and countless users, you can bet that they get a hundred emails like yours every week. The internet's a big place, after all.
My final point is thus; you were not respectful in the least, so please don't try to claim you were. You came to the forum with complete disregard for the rules, and when you were given advice on how to best solve the problem and pointed to the correct place to introduce yourself, you turned your noses up at the forum's moderators. Your profile picture may be an attractive blonde women, but your entitlement issues are nothing but ugly.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Maybe next time you visit the Literate Union, we'll be able to do something constructive together
a few points. One. We never ragged on them. I think, if you read our initial posts, you'll agree that they were respectfully worded. Yes, i realized later that they were powerless to help us, something that surprised me, seeing that the mods here have the site owners ear. On this site the mods have a little more clout. as for having time off on weekends, before we posted on the forum, we had been in contact with members of the fanfic community who had also reported their stories stolen and had not had any luck in having them removed. I was not simply venting or trying to harass anyone on the forum, i was simply trying to get some answers so i could figure out where to go from there. I think, if you read carefully, you will see my first post merely contained questions. i was not being sarcastic, i was looking for answers.
as for the rules, i was told to introduce myeslf. i did. i wasn't aware that i had to do so in a special thread. being a new, i was unaware of the protocol. yes, perhaps i could have handled it better, but by this time i was quickly growing frustrated by admins who seemed more concerned with the rules then with helping a potentially new member out. as for respect, if you ask around this site, you'll find that i am usually quite respectful and well regarded here, so perhaps it should have gone both ways. in the end i felt shabbily treated and my closing comment is that, if the site is so big that they can't handle issues like this in a timely manner, perhaps they need to look into having a larger staff.
respectfully,
sprite.

My only story here was nicked, acknowledgments and all, by "lily" on the 521friends site. (Thanks for the heads-up, Em!)
A Google search on the title turned up a handful of other results, but they all appear to be dead links. I haven't gotten around to looking for those clever enough to change the title before posting my copyrighted work.
My stories too have been stolen and posted on that site. I am actually quite shocked since I did not think they were all that good to begin with. I have looked the site over, but do not see a "contact us" option like we have. How are you guys getting in contact with that site?
Just a question... has anyone here had any luck at all with this site. I finally did a search on all the stories in my writing portfolio and "Lily" and "Tracy" have literally stolen my entire portfolio of writing. Every single one shows up. I joined the site but still waiting for them to 'authorize' my account in order to find a link to contact admin. I looked up whois and found a weird email addy for the owner but haven't heard anything back from them. Has anyone had any success with figuring this site out or getting any response from anyone?
i just go my authorized email this morning - Mistress of Words sent me two email addys to try, but so far, i haven't started in on it yet, i think that's today's agenda, and yeah, i am guessing they have everything of mine there too - already verified at least half of my library at which point i stopped looking.

That's pretty much it I'm afraid Sprite.
Anyone can steal your stories from any site whatsoever and repost them anywhere on the web. How are the web site owners to know who wrote the stories? We have a very good moderator team here, even detecting different styles of story from the same member, we often pick up the plagiarisers. There are other dead giveaways too of course, but I won't go into our trade secrets
Thing is, it would have been nice if it felt like they cared enough at least look into it. Doll and I got treated pretty shabby IMO and I talked with someone on the site who said it would probably be a week or more before we were actually acknowledged by the admin. If we were, I'm not holding my breath after all that. Mickey Mouse is my description of it. Actually, stronger language was used.
What really ticks me off, is that this person was stealing stories from other members of the site itself who had complained and gotten stone walled as well - sad that it took Doll and I to take care of what should have been an internal site issue. fuck em. seriously. I hope they burn. I am beyond pissed. And i get it that we need to make the claims and offer proof, which we did. i am just... i wish it didn't bother me so much, but it does.

ok, 3 days to get two stories and a bio taken down, dealing with snarky mods and an unresponsive admin. Not sure if i want to devote any more energy to this right now. seems kind of pointless and i am feeling disillusion creepy in. glad to know there are honest site like Lush, but i think we are in the minority.

Fucking son of a bitch plagiarizers and story theifs - write your own godamn stories, you motherfucking wastes of like and don't be claiming that my personal experiences were yours or that you've been fucking my girlfriend or my best friend and what the fuck, admins who are more concerned with you harshing their mellow than doing the right thing after you've been over the top respectful? i hope their fucking mickey mouse site goes belly up, sons of bitches. and yeah, i so got my ass banned, and it's one of the proudest moments of my life!

i got a response of "I don't give a flying fuck!" how cool am i!
Obviously you moved right up their VIP List...did you sign your note "Her Royal Spriteness?"...try that, that should work...if they realize they're dealing with royalty you should get a better response...
On another note, I don't know much about the legal side of this whole thing, not being a lawyer or anything...I have used lawyers in the past, but that's another story...
Anyway, just wondering...is it a more serious offense if someone is actually profiting from your stolen stories as opposed to just posting them? I would assume so, usually anything involving money gets people's attention...
Someone in one of my FB writing groups pointed out that some of these sites get paid because "the operator who rents commercial space out gets paid for the hit"...so, in effect, they are profiting from the story theft even if they are not directly selling the stories...
I thought that was an interesting concept...
i am way more iffy on the legality than you, all i know is right and wrong, and for someone to take credit for someone else's work is wrong. Thank god we write on a scrupulous site, and i'm not saying the others aren't, i mean, they have no way of knowing that stories are stolen until someone contacts them, but the treatment Doll and i just got really makes me want to send Nicola and the mods flowers.

That was easy...just sent them the links to my stories here...
That's what I've been doing, too. Hopefully it works and they take them down. If not, I'll do my best to embarrass the shit out of the plagiariser in the comments, and also in my blog. It might not have any effect on them, but the mere possibility that I cause them humiliation is good enough for me. Or AIDS, either one will do.
Sprite and I effectively bullied the original plagiarist on this site into removing the stolen bio as of... right now.
She even changed her pen name in an attempt to get away, but ya know... I can be a relentless bitch when I want to be.
I have to say... no response at all from admin on that site despite multiple emails to their 'reportabuse' link and basically a very unfriendly response from forum admin when we posted in their forum thread verrrry respectfully asking questions about the site. Apparently we were "souring" their fun. Not impressed.. but I'm glad that fire has been officially put out, regardless of the fact that we had to do it ourselves.
i got a response of "I don't give a flying fuck!" how cool am i! and yeah, that's right out of an admin's mouth! woo hoo!
