Hey Angie,

I got a few suggestions and stuff, can I PM them too you - I'll just do that within two weeks plus I found some popular fictions here which are total rip offs or just plain plaigiarised stuff and the sad thing is that they're popular so to avoid what happened the last time, I think I'll be tad more comfortable PMing the links to you, Okay?

@AJ - Last Time this issue came up  - http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2920210 and http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2919096&TPN=13 came up and were used to try to garner Vijay's attention.This was a year ago.

Since then - Writers such as Munchy, ReyaBear, HeadoverHeels and countless others have been forced to pull there work due to the lack of writer support they have encountered. I think I speak for more than just me when I ask - How are we supposed to get Vijay's attention? Is it possible for you guys to set up a meeting?

Wouldn't it be better to post it here so everyone is aware of such authors?

Krani- I want a public HALL OF SHAME - the thread stikied in the FF forum page. I want stricter rules and the mods to publicise the accused. I want alot when will I start telling the mods. I think it will be better.

I am attached to IF, even after a year of being inactive I spend hours thinking how I could help make this a better place but then . . *sigh*

This was the member that plagiarised my story:

Also there should be some sort of rule that members without having posted anything for a certain duration of time will be removed.

Seriously I think it's high time Vijay takes this thing a bit more seriously. 

He made the NOCOPY thing, and then realised that it only extended to as far as the first page and that things could still be copied through the right click button - yet he hasn't done anything about it!

There are codes etc which can stop a person from even right-clicking and copying stuff - why not do such things?

Sorry to take out my frustration at you, Jot, but honestly this is stretching it a bit too far now. 

Plagiarising my story, posting it on another website, and then allowing that member to continue to read our stories leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. 

Mature content and blog links aren't hurting anyone - this stuff actually does.

But it's the content and blog links which have such strict rules implemented on them, and hardly anything on plagiarism. IF sure has their priorities sorted, don't they?

I just read your above post and agreed to that as well. 

Yup, beta readers and hall of shame are a must because that will create in the writer's mind to not have that black mark on them forever. 

Also it makes readers aware of who are the plagiarisers. 

Anyways Jot, I plan to shower Vijay with PM's. I'll do the same to you LOL. Anyone else in this forum that I have to PM wiw my suggestions?

^There is already a thread that appreciates the ongoing works. It is called fanfiction in the spotlight :-) They have recently restarted it and have already appreciated 3 stories. I don't know when the 4th one will come


As far as becoming a DT is concerned, A.J has answered that question only a couple of pages back in this thread :-)


Hall of Shame sounds good. But they can always come back with a new ID :'(
