h33NI2nI have tried to say my piece and walk away.  She did remove my story.. but left a PM to me saying she is going to repost it later…

I am going to leave the latest PM’s to me I have received.  I let you make your own decisions, and then I will end it with what the forum who was kind enough to message me to help sent me.  I HIGHLY encourage each and every author to check your stories, and if one of your stories has been stolen, then please use the form to report it.  Unfortunately, I have to wait for her to post my story again.  No I have NOT replied to any of her or her Beta’s PM’s.  But I have saved each and everyone of them.

Hi i am sorry.

Sep 17Hi i just wanted to let you know i am sorry if i sounded rude to you the last name it was not my attention to be rude to you or anyone else even cause trouble. I hope through time you can forgive me since I apologized on my profile and in time we can become friends as well. I admitted I know very little about Godric I only know more about the others of true blood. Most of my stories are like drabble chapter based unless I take time and hours to write them really long. I am trying to clear my name through the mud and from advice from others one of these days be a prolific writer like you and others who I am a fan of someday. I really hope you can forgive me for my mistake and also others who are your friends forgive me as well. I really hope someday you and the others can become my friends.

Hi Kitty

3h agoHi my beta is friends with you and she told to tell you sorry for the Godric she is working me on the plot of it and fixing it for me as well the other crossover stories on my profile. I am sorry about the Bella/Godric I hope you can forgive me and we can become friends.


Then Received from her beta: 09/18/17 5:12pm:
Hi
1h agoI know you do not know me personally, but i do know of u and ur fantastic stories. I am currently the beta to ericbella27. I will tell u the same i have Dr Harleen Frances Quinzel. she is my personal friend:
You have no idea how sorry I am…when I was helpingericbella27 with her stories I did so just because her grammar,spelling and having it be in 3rd person context neededto be corrected…when she asked me a who myfav authors werei mention a few off the top of my head including u ( DrHarleen FrancesQuinzel) andbertiebott and jinxdodson and kityanz…as my top few…i did not know if it was because of me that she went aftery’alls storiesor not buti introduced them to her in hopes she could see how theywere written and get an idea of how storiesshould be written…not by copying u guys stuff and by ideai mean the flow and everything not being in 3rd person context. that is the only ideai asked her to grasps. to show her that u guys stories are what hard work and dedication is call about thatur stories and well as others are how storiesshould be written with proper grammar and spelling and things not being in 3rd person context…that is the ONLY ideai wanted her to grasp. I SWEAR, you (DrHarleen FrancesQuinzel) know I have always supportedur stories even more so after u (DrHarleen FrancesQuinzel) told me thatur joker/bellafic was/is inspired by me. I will talk to her about getting her stories removed because u guys are myfav authors. andi cannot in any good moral continue to stand by as her beta and watch this spiral. i will also be making sure all of her workis revised and or trashed if it cannot be changed or fixed into a different story from the plagiarized ones…again i’ll be talking to her.


……

During all this, my betas have reported the following messages on her profile page (since I was sleeping while this was going on.)

……..I am tired of people who are jealous of me and my stories and bringing haters by posting my profile on theirs for their mistakes of copying off each other and blaming new authors like myself for their mistakes. It takes one to know one and I point at anyone who bad mouths me and my stories and how I am a bad author to the ones who started it first I certainly didn’t but I know a few others who plagerize each others works and blame it on others. you know who you are stop bad mouthing me my stories and my writing for the things I come up with. If you do not like any of my stories and how I wrote them then leave my profile alone and quit complaining to me in my reviews for certain authors blaming me even if they plagerize each other. My stories will stay on here quite having my profile and blaming me as the guilty party. When really you all should be ashamed of yourselves. And are jealous of me and take it out on me. I will be working on my two stories that are upcoming and will post them in October. As well working on the pairing stories and will post them soon for the people who ask for me to do pairings for them.


My only reply is.. No one copies each other work in this or any fandom I am part of.  Nor am I jealous of her.  I do NOT give her permission to write my story.

Current Post:

Okay, I have apologized to Harleen and others and she is becoming my friend and I have apologized to Kittyinaz, Cuinawen, and Bertie Bott my beta is helping me fix the plots to my stories. And she is also friends with these authors. I do not want anymore people complaining to me about my stories I have written them and my beta GoddessxNyte is fixing the plots for me. I will repost the Godric/Bella one and the first chapter to the Spike/Bella one as well the remade version of Iron Man and his love. But the remade version of Iron Man and his love will be posted in October as well, with the new Joker/Bella one and Captain America Steve Rogers/Bella one as well in October. As for my pairing request stories they will be posted soon.


 Again… I will leave you guys to make your own opinions.
Through this, I have been made aware of a forum that helps authors with these situations.  The thread on this situation is as follows: https://www.fanfiction.net/topic/124913/120784214/1/#120804353
In Addition, they also sent me the following form to be used:

FanFiction.net Copyright Infringement NotificationTo Whom It May Concern,

I have discovered that my (short story/poem/novel), [insert story title], has been altered and posted without my permission by a writer on FanFiction.net named [insert plagiarist penname] [insert plagiarist profile link]. I am from [insert country you’re from].

My original fan fiction short story can be found here: [insert your story link]. I published it on [insert publishing date].

Her/His plagiarized copy can be found here:

Copyright law in the United States implies that even a derivative work (which mine is) that cannot be sold enjoys some protection from copyright infringement. We can see this in the realm of approved derivative works such as tie-in novels. I realize this is still a gray area, and is disputed in many venues. However, until a definite ruling comes down which removes fan fiction entirely from under the copyright umbrella, I will claim what rights I do have. [Use this ONLY if your work is also fanfiction AND if you are from the US. Delete if your work is original.]

You may reach me at my email address: [your email address].

Thank you. I look forward to a timely resolution to this matter.

Please use the form to send in the links, this can be done by the owner of the story only as I read it.  Again, please go through the stories on her page, and if you either recognize  your own, then use the above form to report it, or if you can tell who the story was stolen from, please let the author know as well as the help being given us to solve this.

I am going to work on my convention page, but I will support and continue to support my fellow authors in this endeavor.  Since she has removed the story, I cannot help in that manner.  But I am watching for it to be reposted.

I am NOT nor will I ever become a friend to someone like this.  I don’t think she would understand what it would mean to be a friend, which to me is to support my friends.  She cannot accept she is wrong and that has lost me any respect.

Thank you.  All of you.  That there is such an outpouring of help and support means a lot to all of us.  Once I get the convention page done, I will be working on the stories.. hopefully when I get my normal internet back!!! I’m working off my mifi, which is not really that easy. And everything of mine is based on the internet so I never had to worry about hard drives crashing…

Thanks again, we all appreciate it.  Please feel free to share this so we can spread the word.

Wendy
