@baldur I once stopped writing for a few years because of blatant plagiarism of my works.
This sort of thing is now so prevalent that there's two choices; either stop writing altogether or just accept that the assholes are going to asshole and there's little I can do against it.
I'll keep my fanfiction freely available online for all to read, but my original works will remain largely in obscurity until they're ready to be published properly.
