An Open Letter

First of all, sorry guys! There have been quite a few personal posts lately, but there's some stuff I need to get out of the way. The next chapter of House of Cards is currently well in the works and I fully expect it to be up and out in the next few days. I aim for about 2000 words per chapter; at the moment I'm at 1100, so all good.

This is a quick note to That Person. You know who you are - or you will if you read down a bit.

Please stop plagiarizing my fics.

Since I know you must come to my journal to read my work, I am hoping you will see this soon. I'm not going to call you out or make a scene; I'm not going to link to the stolen work and humiliate you.

We all do things we regret and I don't intend to make you feel bad. I would just like you to know that I am aware of it and that I'd like you to stop. No, I'm not going to f-lock my fics, and no, I'm not going to report you. I'm not expecting you to come clean and make a big admission.

I would like you to take the stolen content down. Maybe that'll be difficult to explain, but I want to give you the opportunity to make your own excuses.

Please don't steal from me! I'm a nice person, I promise.
