omg

wat the hell y is it so short and u skipped so many parts that it doesnt make sense im not tryin to sound me but ye its interestin but confusin cause its so short and it dont make sense

I am in love with this story. I am one of the few lucky ones who read it till the end before it got removed.

I have to say I love strong characters and Lacey is one of them. Sure she might be a rebellious and maybe a bit bitchy but I found it entertaining. Most of the part I enjoy is, of course, Ryan and Lacey scenes. I think most of the people here agree with me. It's comedic and I love it how you assigned songs to each chapter. One of my favourites was the Night of the Dancing Flame by Roisin Murphy, I got it on my iPod. Thinking about how Lacey put the fly on supposedly Ryan's pasta and with that song playing, just makes me laugh.

It's not as cliche as I thought, you added a little drama in there too and I love it. It's not just about happy sunshine all the time, with her mother dying and how she finds comfort in Ryan. I love that in a story, how the characters goes into some transition and feels weak and vulnerable. It's realistic.

And I love the cliche resolution in the end. The kind of ending that makes you smile.

Anyway just doing a review, even though it has been removed, I feel like doing one. Just made an FP account a month ago... ish~

Good luck with the rest of your writings, hope to see more of your stories. : )

that SUCKS! why would anyone do that?! its unfair, its stupid, its horrible, and its ILLEGAL. ive been reading your stories for a long time (they rock) and just started my FP account. thats awful, poor you, and poor peeps that also had this happen :( i'll try to follow you on lj, too

I know I've only recently been on FP, but I have anonymously read your stories before. It saddens me that you've had to take down your stories.

They were such an enjoyment to read. I do feel horrible about the recent acts of plagarism. That's completely unfair, especially for all the hard work you put into your stories.

It sad to see such words disappear from this site, you truly had a gift to entertain and make me smile when I read your works.

Thanks for writing all your stories. Will always greatly appreciate great writing (:

Hello! I am a reader of all of those writers you mentioned, and I noticed tht you, I mean all of you, had the website on your home page. However I cannot read, or understand for that matter the site, I might need some help finding your stories. The thing is that I already read all of Myrika, angels and effects's stories, but i have never read one of yours, and I was just about to, when this happened.

So what I am saying here is that I need help, I am not from Us, not from UK, I normally do not use the site you girls chose, so I need help.

Please answer! **

It's really a shame when people can't just think for themselves and steal peoples ideas. Your stories are great and as a fellow victim i now how annoying and sad it is to find that others are trying to take away all your hard work.
Hope i'll be able to continue reading the rest of your story :)
Good luck!

Oh, wow. All I can say is that I'm so, so, so sorry that this happened. I always loved reading your story (you're such a talented writer) and I'm sure it's not easy to take down all your hard work. I wish you the best at LJ and I might have to follow you over there. :]

FP will miss you!

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. I've always loved your writing, and I hope that your stand against plagiarizing on FP will have some effect. How exactly can we join the livejournal community? I've never been on LJ before, so I have no idea how it works.

I think it's disgusting how plagirism's spreading out and hit the best writers on FP. And not only on FP, it's all over the internet. Hitting story writers, poem writers, etc.

It's just.. Ugh.

How do they feel like when they're praised over something they didn't make? Or when they're removing the writers name and replacing it with their own?

Man. I hate plagiarizers. But it's great that you're all going to set up a livejournal community. Guess I'll have to open an account...

Chin up, 99,5 % of your readers would never exploit you because we love your writing and respect your authorship. It's always sad when a few people can destroy a good thing for everybody.

See you on livejournal! :)

Oh man. You too?

It seems like all the good authors are getting plagiarized these days, which is really really unfortunate. I'm glad that you guys came up with the idea of an LJ account so that we can still keep up with your stories though. I would have been really disappointed if all my favorite authors suddenly stopped posting.

I think the proper quote is "imitation is the highest form of praise". Imitation is okay, because it's just inspiration. You're still doing something original. Plagiarism isn't imitation. It's totally at a different level of low. I'm really sorry that that happened to you though. I can see why you wouldn't appreciate it at all.

Thanks for trusting us enough to leave your stories up on a secured community in LJ. Don't Make a Scene was one of my favorite stories on fictionpress, so I definitely appreciate having a chance to reread it, as well as reading whatever else you have up there.

Well, I'll go ahead and join that community on LJ. My username over there is likkledibbun, in the improbable case that you would care.

I hope nothing else happens to any of your other work!

This is absolutely ridiculous. I cannot believe all of the cases of plagerism...All of you wonderful writers and being destroyed with this crap...I've already made me a LJ account and will be following everyone of you...you deserve at least some respectful readers.

:/ this is a saddening to hear. I have a livejournal (xblackwingedx) so I'll definitely be following you there. This is just getting out of hand. Similar things have been happening in art sites as well, I suppose there is an equal risk to having put your work out there, but it just ruins it for the rest of us who work hard in our writing/art, and just to have someone else just pluck it out is a bit maddening.

Blah in any case, hope for the best
