I really wish there was some way of copywriting fanfiction. Obviously it would be pointless since the characters used aren't your own which is a violation of copywrite in itself.
I'm just a bit fed up of coming across stories which are blatant rip offs of my work. At first I thought I was jsut being paranoid but I've read about four which I have shown to other people and they have agreed that they are almost identical. It's not even like it was one of my ideas that's been used, it's 3 or 4 different ones.
Some people have told me I should be flattered that people want to copy me. Well I'm not, its bloody annoying. I wouldn't mind so much if they wrote to me, asked and credited me in the fic header, but no, they claim all the credit for themselves.
Am annoyed!
