HAPPY TURKEY DAY, EVERYONE!!

Every year, Jerry the Band Director dismisses us from our last rehearsal before Thanksgiving break with the instructions, "Go home, rest, and come back having gained at least five pounds." I'm pretty I did =D Mommy outdid herself this year--it was DELICIOUS! So much food...so much wonderful, wonderful food!

We ate at about two o'clock this afternoon. It's now twenty to nine. I'm thinking I might go make myself a turkey sandwich. WHY AM I HUNGRY AGAIN?? *stabs stomach and dies*

Oh oh oh, and I finally got to see the Conan live-action drama. I've had it for a few days, but I haven't had time to actually watch it. Pretty sure I was fangirling like crazy over the Shin/Ran moments. Utter, utter sweetness ♥ A few things were kind of dumb, but overall? Pretty pleased =D

And it's official--I've been plagiarized from. An author named Li Ping on ff-dot-net has been taking fics (mostly from 30_kisses, but also from a couple of other comms, it looks like), translating them into German, and posting them without A) the permission of the original authors, and B) credit given to the original authors. At present, this person has taken two of my Kisses stories--"Wild Goose Chase" and "The View." "Wild Goose Chase" really makes me mad because I wrote that for magic_truth.

The dumb thing is that it wouldn't have bothered me so much if they'd even just slapped my name on there as the original author. I've had people ask if they can translate a few of my stories, and I always say yes with two conditions: A) credit me as the original author, and B) send me a link to where you post them so I can see what they look like in a different language. I just think it's kinda cool. This...gah. RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION!

*bows* That is all...for now. *goes to make a sandwich*

i wish you a happy turkey day as well. ^^ its my fave holiday because of all the food there is still like 3/4 left of a bowl of mashed potatoes in the kitchen that i will devour in 30 min

ooooooo.....i sooooooo want to see the live action conan!

and i was worried that you were plagarized when i saw the report on 30_kisses, but i wasnt sure since i cant read german and my comp is sucky at making translations. it really sucks that you have been plagarized.

Ugh, I hate it when people plagerize. XD My dealings with it were kinda small, but they still made me mad. D: If you put all that work and effort into things, and people just steal it and get recognition.. well, that's just not cool. D:<

But on the other hand, I could really use a sandwich. XDDD

Wow. XD Now I'm all the more glad that I didn't join that comm. But ... what other comms has he been taking from? And is there a way to contact him and ask him to stop?

Yay food! X3 Happy Thanksgiving!

What I didn't like about the drama was when they'd introduce more cartoony elements, like Ran punching the wall and it cracking. XD I don't think that sort of thing has much place in live-action stuff, unless it's a screwball comedy or something.

Ouch, plagarism. >___< Had that happen to me once, not proud with how I dealt with it though. I wasn't sure what to do and she _sort of_ credited me (but apparently forgot who wrote it specifically), so I let it be. Wondering if I should have reported it now. ^^:;

Hope the plagarism issue gets resolved!

Uuh, I'm sorry to irrupt in your journal, it's just that I seemed to be very very bored this evening...^^;

...and I noticed that you were talking about a german fanfic thief. That caught my attention.^^;
Have you reported him or probably her on ff.net and nowhere else? Because the biggest german fanfic archive is at Animexx.de and it was not that surprising for me to find your fics right there as well. Someone already recognized your stories and threatened her to report the fics as it is written in a comment, but it doesn't seem to have been done by the time.

I just thought you'd like to know...?^^;
By the way, if you want me to report these fics as you obviously do not speak german, just tell me and I would drop the fanfic administrator a line or two. I can fully understand that you're feeling quite bad since I had a similar experience about some months ago...>_< *kicks the fanfic thieves right in their a**e*


By the way, I hope my english is not that bad as I expect it to be right now, it's just that it's getting late.=__=
