Out of curiosity, I just checked the download stats for the most recent episode of Ultraman Moebius that my group has subbed and released. At 23:34, we're at 214.

Over two hunded downloads in one day! Happy~!

(Yes, I know this makes me a dork. And, yes, I know that our total downloads for each episode only come up to around 600. Obscure hobby and all that.)

Spent yesterday writing and doing a little bit of coding. Added "Soldier" and "Cow Tipping" to my website and put them in the queue for ff.net. (I'm a freak; I have a schedule for ff.net releases. It involves dumping a whole lot of "ready" fics into my account there at once and then releasing one every other day.) Also wrote about 18K on an as-yet-untitled G1 post-series story. I've about gotten through Jazz's explanation of the movie events... it's always fun to write him, particularly when doing it without contracting his words. (I need to go through Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and make his speech there more legible. After I finish Twin Terrors; only two more chapters to that and I want a minumum of WIPs going at once.) I probably need to rewatch the Headmasters episodes since my recollection of them is imperfect. Need to rewatch the Return of Optimus Prime episodes too, I suppose.

I mentioned a few days ago that serika_san had tipped me off that someone on fanfiction.net had stolen two of my Princess Tutu stories and claimed them as their own. Now, she, hoshikage and I let ff.net know about this eleven days ago and... they've done nothing. Not pulled the stories, not banned the plagiarist's account, nothing. I don't normally like asking favors of my friends, but this has me really irked because these are my stories and this person is stealing them. I realize fanfiction is only that, and I don't own any kind of intellectual property to Princess Tutu or any of the story sources I've ever written from, but... I worked hard on these stories. Writing is a skill that I strive to polish. I think I have the right to be proud of my work and the pleasure it might give to others. To have someone steal it like this and claim it as their own cheapens my feeling of worth and leaves me bitter, angry, and upset. (Also, those feelings tend to decrease the possibility of me writing more, because I can't write well when depressed. This may be taken as incentive, if you're so minded.)

So, if any of you are so inclined as to also report the matter to ff.net, the person in question's account is here and the two stories she's posted thus far are both mine, posted here and on the Princess Tutu Fanfiction community roughly three months ago and more recently on my personal website. At the bottom of each story there is the option to "Submit Review." If you click on it, it also gives you the option to "Report Possible Abuse." I would appreciate anyone's efforts in getting this matter rectified. I've opened my own ff.net account since this plagiarism came to light (it's Sakon76, for those interested) but I'm probably not going to start posting my stories there until this matter is cleared up. (They're all available on my website anyway, so it's not a threat, merely a fact.)

Well, I spent this morning editing and coding stories so I could toss some of my backlog onto my webpage. They've all been previously posted here in rough draft forms, but now the final drafts are up and collected.

In the canon'verse, there's With Full Knowledge: The Power to Protect, which is a study on episodes twenty-nine and thirty.

In the "Alliterative Arc" AU I'm writing with hoshikage and sandpanther, there are (in chronological order) Reflections in Rhapsody, which is smutty, A Touch More Time, which is not and follows on developments in hoshikage's work-in-progress Crystalline Chaos, and finally Days of Dreams That in Their Courses Convene, which confronts a problem in our stories and spins it out to the next level and next planet, as well as leading into sandpanther's story Turnabout, which I hope she'll let me put up next.

I found Chrislea on IM and asked her and she let me put her story on my Sakon page! Yay! One down, one to go. ^_^

I'm apparently booking on clearing out writing projects this weekend. Chapter nine of "Reality Storm," my Gundam Wing/Samurai Troopers cross, is now coded and up on my page.
