Changes in Accessibility

Due to the nature of some people who feel anything posted to the internet for free means it has been placed into the public domain, I have removed both stories The Other Half and its sequel, There's a Fine Line from this blog. While at DragonCon, a friend notified me that Fine Line had been posted to another website without my knowledge or permission under another username. They even left my name at the start of the first chapter, as if that somehow made it okay. 

Since the primary grab always seems to come from postings to Lit, I have requested all of my work be removed from Literotica. I hated doing that. I loved having my stories where anyone could read them, but I refuse to give more of my time, effort, and hard work so that someone can copy/paste it onto another site and claim it as their own (or worse, post it to Amazon!).

  1. Literotica really needs to look into that. More authors are leaving because of it and will continue till its dealt with. Just keep us in the loop if and when you get this published...even though my fix is gone...*twitch....

    1. Fine Line is in editing and will be released as An Infernal Destiny. Like The Other Half, I can already see that there will be many changes to it from the original. I've already changed up the entire first chapter and added a prologue I may, or may not, keep.

      It is sad that Lit does nothing to aid its contributors. They rarely even respond to emails. Pulling my work was the only thing I felt I could do. I'm keeping an eye on Fucking with Animal Planet as it's currently at short story length, so still easily reposted.

  2. I'm very sorry for what has happened fine line is one of my absolute favourites and I will happily buy it once its released. I can't imagine what it's lie to have something stolen that you worked so hard on, but please don't stop writing a lot of people will miss you if you do

    1. I won't stop writing but I will be more hesitant to post full stories over shorts of flash fiction length. :(

  3. Wolf and I are working up a DCMA notice to post against that website. grrr... I'll share it when it is finished. Seems the idiot is doing the same to a lot of people.

    I am considering taking my stuff off of Lit as well. My readers will just have to head over to my blog.
