    More Live A Live art

    Made this a while ago, but thought I'd post it here, too! Some of the heroes and Odio from the SNES rpg classic Live A Live as ponies!

    How A Love For Madness Would Have Ended

    Okay, in a state of destructive writers block and mostly declined interest I'm sorry to say I will not be continuing A Love For Madness from the looks of things, but not wanting to leave you all in the dark I'm going to describe everything that was going to happen after this point in my Cadance-centered 5s fic "A Love For Madness" that I'd had planned. However, for you who don't want to know

    Live A Live art

    Did some hand-drawn art of ponified versions of two of the characters from the over-looked(due to lack of export) but still awesome classic SNES-era JRPG "Live A Live".

    Oersted the knight and his wizard friend Straybow from the Medieval Chapter...

    Everyone who liked the story and made it possible!

    Luna-cy for doing my editing!

    Those of you who faved it!

    Those of you crossing over with it!

    When I figure for sure where to go next with it I'll resume the story. I may need to find time for a week-off vacation from work again for that.

ALARMING NEWS... · 10:28am Aug 19th, 2013

Someone has plagarized my Mare Do Well stories and posted them as their own on fanfiction.net.

Yes, I'm quite disappointed, and in some twisted way almost flattered that my stories were actually considered worth stealing.

Didn't see that coming.

Me neither.

Guess I got some reporting to attend to later when I visit the place...

1294914 Good luck bro.:pinkiesmile:

Dude. Report that immediately if you haven't already. Seriously, that's bullcrap

1295068

I haven't had a fanfiction.net account in years, so I emailed the site they're on a copyright notice so the site can do something about it, providing links to my stories and this post as proof of me being the real author. Hopefully that'll work.

This person's got quite a few stories, I can't help but wonder how many others may have been stolen. It's almost funny how I wouldn't expect my stories to be worth stealing honestly :twilightsheepish:

He's taken "The Series" as well: Link

As well as another fic, Trixie, the Great and Powerful (Source) Stolen copy

And yet another one: The Mysterious Adventures of Mare Do Well (Source) Stolen copy

Let's lynch the prick.

I'll sign up to FF.net just to take him down with you. Mare Do Well authors, unite!

1295909

Yeah, I saw he was also stealing my Series as well. I sent the site a copyright complaint, time will tell if they get back to me and resolve it. If not I may also alert FIM fiction staff and see if they can be more persuasive about it :scootangel:

Wow... I guess I'm not alone! :facehoof:

I encourage as well that if any of them are yours, you file a complaint to the site's staff, showing the original copy so they confirm that they are yours, and also post on your blog, or if they aren't yours, notify the people whose stories they belong to and show them the links and encourage they make report/complaints to FF.N's staff as well

1295292 Honestly, that's the best thing to do, following their copyright complaint requirements under item 8 (http://www.fanfiction.net/tos/).

As you noted, he has several others posted; I'll be going through the six not yet matched and seeing if I can find original postings on those as well.

I do hope that this is resolved quickly for you. It's always disheartening when this happens.

1295909 Thank you for posting this to TaPiR. I've already reviewed all four of the ones you provided with the details regarding the thefts.

1296042

Thanks! :twilightsmile:

I've yet to hear back, I think I may have missed a detail or something in how to file the complaint but I hope all the links to my stories and to this blog post(as to confirm I'm the real writer and have become aware of the theft, as well as so he cannot pretend he's me) will be evidence enough as well for them to look into.

1296052
You weren't the only one stolen from, so I doubt that there's going to be a question there. However, if he does claim he's you, that falls under identity theft. As he's in the US, that is then reportable to the FBI.

It does take Xing's people (if there is in fact more than Xing working at a given time) a bit to respond. The last DMCA takedown he received that I tracked took him two days to process. So as long as you sent it to copyright@fanfiction.com, all should be on its way to being processed.

oi44.tinypic.com/29m3qzt.jpg Took a screenshot of his list of stories as well. (Right-click and select 'View Image' for full size. Save if you want.)

Alright, coolness! I'll keep an eye on my email for any replies back, and I did send it to that address

1296114
Yeah when I saw that I couldn't help but wonder how many more may have been stolen as well. It's quite a shame, the people who commented on his stolen stories he took from me have no idea the Series in its completed form is right here :pinkiesad2:
Still, it is yes very disheartening and shocking someone would do something like this to so many writers

1296114
I'm pulling them up now - they were stolen as well. Should have posted in the TaPiR thread within the next half hour.

Edit: Oh, yay. Someone else who thought it would be a great idea to steal Disney's script verbatim. <_<

1296138
Good news! The account has been deleted by the admins!

1298290

Excellent! :yay: Have the other writers been informed of this good news as well?

1299052

One of them had defunct e-mails with their listings, and since they were on a private archive, I was unable to leave any type of profile message. One of the other authors works for Disney, whose only response to me, ever, is "thank you for letting us know" etc ad infinitum.

I have sent messages to the others, yes.

1299639

Good, and I'm glad this has all been resolved. The thief's account and everything are gone, admittedly though I'm still surprised anyone would find my stories remotely worth stealing in the first place. That's the internet for ya I guess!

Showtime is claiming to be Yoshevil, FYI

This is the message I just received.

In regards to a recent plagiarism of your story
YOU IDIOT!!! I AM YOSHEVIL! YOU TELL THEM TO REOPEN MY ACCOUNT!!!

1312017

Yeesh, you think you know people then this happens, they steal your stuff and go claiming it's theirs :facehoof:
