Note: Please do NOT hassle the publishing company itself. They've agreed to pull the book; we're waiting for it to come down from all the eBook sites. We still don't know the entire contents of the book, though - or who else has been stolen from (there is a clear fandom-author connection, however).



If you or anyone you know in LJ fandom writes poetry, take a look at this. A person writing under the name Ven Findlay is lifting poetry from people and getting it published. This person has directly plagiarized from at least two three of us in fandom; there are bound to be more.

"Well gays started AIDS, right?"
"...nnno?"
"Yes they did! It was gay monkeys or something."
"Wait now it's monkeys? Gay monkeys?"
"Yeah. Then it spread to straight people because of bisexuals."
"...what???"
"Some of the gay people turned bisexual and infected the straight people. So straight people got AIDS."
"..........that's not how it - no."
"Anyway, bisexuals are dirty."
