WTF

[mistressace]

This travesty has just been brought to my attention and as an author, I am furious. Someone has apparently created a fanzine from my story Without A Trace and someone else is selling it on e-bay.

This has been done without my knowledge. The fanzine has been created without my permission. Someone has stolen from me and is profitting from my work.

If any of you find this zine, let me know who is selling it and who printed it. I know I haven't written anything since my beta passed away - and things like this will damn well guarantee I won't write anything again. This journal will be locked to friends only as soon as I get back from Comi-con.

No love

Don't pull it from the website. I got a quick response and an apology from the seller. She did not realize it was an unauthorized copy and has shut the auction down.

I don't mind if people read the stories, or even if they print them to read later - some of my dear friends have problems reading from a computer screen so I'm perfectly happy for them to print it out. The problem arose because someone printed the story, found/created a cover for it, bound it up and then sold it at MediaWest to another person who then put it up on E-bay.

What we should do is put something on the website advising that our work is not to be printed and sold. Would that work for you?

Hugs,
