Laura Harner: plagiarist
I have two of Harner's books on my Kobo. They will be deleted and I feel like dipping it in disinfectant after that.
Why do people plagiarize? Why do people defend them when they do and tell people they're being rude when they call the author out on it? This is unconscionable behavior.
To take someone's creative endeavor and claim as your own, profit from it, build a reputation on it, is despicable.
And it is NOT fanfic to change the names and publish it. My roots are in fanfic and this would be plagiarism there too and we come down on it hard in fandom.
My sympathy to the authors affected and I hope you receive an apology and financial redress.
For those who want to see the proof, here are some links:

Paint it Red
A Suits fanfic involving bondage and lipstick ;-)
Mike's hands are tied to the back of the chair, just the way he'd asked for, appealing to Harvey's indulgent side with some pitch-perfect wheedling. He's held in place more securely than he'd realized he would be, though. Harvey lets Mike discover that fact with a discreet tug, watches his eyes darken with a flash of panic and heat, waits for the bravado and bluster to go from a flood to a drip, then smiles.
Mike's so hard now. Harvey's unzipped, unbuttoned, tugged down, but not removed Mike's pants or briefs. His cock juts up, emphatic, a finger of flesh beckoning Harvey closer. He draws his chair an inch nearer, so his knees brush Mike's, and without taking his gaze off Mike's face, grabs all that hard, aching stubbornness and squeezes.
Mike's mouth falls open on a shocked, pained groan, his eyes widening, but he licks his lips a moment later and tries very hard to stay still, the way he'd said, so defiantly, he would.
The involuntary wriggle he gives is charmingly framed by a glare and a blush, but Harvey punishes it anyway, removing his hand with a 'you asked for it' look. Mike gasps indignantly, but it's all show and they both know it. If there's one thing Mike loves -- and there isn't, they're legion -- it's being teased and denied, made to wait and suffer, his arousal a flagellant's whip. He hates it, he loves it. He wants to beg for it, Harvey can tell, but so far Mike's bitten his lip raw and refused to go there.
Well, there's no rush.
Harvey uncaps the lipstick he's chosen, a hot, rich red, and twists the end. The column of red rises obediently and he grins. "Remind you of anything?"
"Yeah." Mike sticks out his tongue which just makes Harvey smile. Insubordination is so much fun to deal with here, when he's not constrained by, well, anything.
"Not really what I had in mind," he murmurs and takes Mike's chin in his hand. Mike could struggle and spoil this, but Harvey holds his gaze until the wildness in Mike's eyes becomes trust and a certain amount of resignation.
Then he paints Mike's lips red.
The lipstick drags, changing the shape of Mike's lips fleetingly, deepening their color, making them glossy, shiny, scented in a way Harvey finds disturbing. Even with the lipstick on, even with Mike's boast that he could pass as a woman up for debate, there's nothing all that feminine about Mike -- apart from that faint, evocative scent.
When he's finished, Harvey caps the lipstick and pockets it, then blots Mike's lips with a tissue.
The heat between them is unbearable now. Harvey's aching with the need to kiss Mike, but he holds back. He'd promised to let Mike see first. He moves aside, so that Mike can see his reflection in the bathroom mirror and watches the flush bloom and blossom in Mike's cheeks.
"You like it?"
Mike shakes his head too slowly to be a true negative, his eyes unblinking as he stares at his reflection. His tongue darts out to taste, but that's Harvey's treat and he's grabbing a hank of hair and yanking hard before he knows it.
Mike's breath hisses out, raw, hoarse sounds spilling after it. Harvey's lost control and they know it. Mike likes that, Harvey not so much. He twists the handful of hair around his fingers, knowing some strands have pulled loose, and uses his grip to make Mike's throat a taut bow of skin. Mike can't breathe easily, but he's not struggling now. As his head's tugged back, he relaxes, his choice to submit made.
When Mike's eyes close and his red lips pout and purse invitingly, Harvey runs his fingers over Mike's throat lightly, then kisses him, hard enough to bruise, then petal soft, licking at the red, biting and scraping it off with his teeth. He's going to be a mess when he stops, but Mike won't care.
Mike comes at some point, a wet, messy gush and spit, but Harvey doesn't stop kissing him.
Can't stop kissing him.
His hands are tied.

Despite a tottering TBR pile
I am rereading the Harry Potter books.
The kids decided to re-watch the movies and it's been years since I read the books.
I remember my first encounter; saw the first one on the shelf at the library and idly picked it up because it looked fun. Went to check it out and the librarian gasped. There was a waitlist a mile long and it shouldn't have been on the shelf at all. I offered to give it back but she said no, I could have it. Read it, liked it, and when the second came out, I got it.
Yes, it was that long ago that there was only the one :-)
The library got the final one the day before it came out... I volunteered there then and my friend had it clutched in her hands, technically prepping it but heheh, not so much :-)
In our house, I got to read the new ones first because I could finish in a day, then David, then Eleanor (Lauren has only just gotten around to reading them; like me she's a book a day girl).
And once we went to Chapters and lined up til midnight to buy the newest one...those were the days.
Just started Half Blood Prince and oh boy is it ever nice reading it on my ereader instead of trying to hold a huge heavy book and a cup of coffee at the same time.

A decade ago
The pilot episode of Supernatural aired. The next day, I wrote what turned out to be the first Sam/Dean, Wincest fic, Reunion.
I wondered why it was getting new hits today...
It's here, if anyone's interested. Short and angsty, not terribly smutty. It was kind of a shocking pairing back then, hard though it is to believe now.
