I was unaware that he was continuing with this stupid charade. That's even more disturbing, I think, than the initial shock of the whole situation.<br /><br />Here's my question to you now, Angel. What do we do if the guy simply changes his nom de plume and keeps up with what he's doing? It would be incredibly easy, seeing as all you need is a fake name and a Gmail address to create an online identity these days. <br /><br />Should I be googling every piece of fiction I've ever sold, from now until the end of time?<br /><br />By the way, has the man in question gotten back to you directly yet?Jessica Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568165869544826162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8722670247245901126.post-17253750849863432302009-10-09T10:37:32.273-04:002009-10-09T10:37:32.273-04:00Thieve, thieves, thieves....

I've always wanted to play a detective, so the fantasy is now complete (and very well-written to boot).<br /><br />More importantly, thank you for doing your part to address plagiarism in our small community.<br /><br />Don't know if you know, but one of his stories managed to see the light of day over on Powder Burn Flash yesterday. Aldo has since been informed by many concerned writers and he's removed it.<br /><br />If anything, this entire situation has alerted writers on all levels that our words, our babies as Erin Cole so adequately put it, need to be guarded against these word predators. There will be more.<br /><br />We need to prepare ourselves, because sadly, you're right.
