Ok. I'm trying not to get mad, though I know that I am. I'm trying to remain calm and sort this situation out in a civil way. I'm feeling thoroughly irritated and ready to strangle someone. *seethes*
So you all know about my site Jaharaah, right? Well, I typed it into Google [really for no good reason at all just to see what I could find] and guess what I discovered? Some brat has used the "legend" that I had written for Jaharaah for one of his/her own roleplays. Now that peeves me off. Seriously. If you're going to steal my ideas, then at least make it subtle [not that I want anyone to do this but thieves ought to thieve somewhat intelligently, right?] but this person literally used what I had written and added a few sentences at the bottom of the legend. I see no credit given to me or my site, and I am officially peeved.
The roleplay is dead now but I want the thread deleted because, frankly, whoever stole my written work doesn't have to right to post it without my permission. It was copied into a thread-roleplay at another forum and the forum is still active; I need advice. How do I go about doing this? I refuse to let someone credit him/herself for my work. *seethes*
Here's the thread if you want to see it.
And here's my site if you want to compare the legends. It's located in the table at the top.
Please help before I drive myself insane.
I also discovered that the person who ripped my work owns this site: Click. I am currently an affiliate with this person too, though when I checked, it seems as though she has removed Jaharaah's banner from her site. This only peeves me even more.
Any advice before I tear these people to shreds?
