that was my first thought: "Run, Charlie! RUNNNN!"

I was just going to say, I'd put money on a bet that that 73% collectively doesn't make as much as the male 27%. And if there's any "but that's not fair, CEO and all that" remember, that's ONE guy. If one guy and one quarter tip the scales over three quarters of anything else, there's something wrong, dammit.

not only do you have to do the accent, but at some point in the first paragraph you must slip in a "Moose and Squirrel" reference.

for all the abuse apologists, I'll just leave this here for y'all.

Dear Kwissa: first, I believe you and I applaud you. Second, republish through Smashwords. I doubt Mark Coker would give you half the crap Lulu is pulling. Third, I was planning to use Lulu myself for the hard copy versions of my e-books; they just lost a potential client.

don't forget Oliver's awesome Zimmerman verdict segment in the roll of Big Ass Stories of Summer.

plagiarism has no laws. You're thinking copyright infringement. Plagiarism is the outright theft of someone else's writing and claiming it as your own, whether in whole or in part, whether a sentence or (in her case) an entire fripping CHAPTER. And when called on it she went "it was a tribute! And besides I forgot to…

that's another thing, it says something that she publishes under the name CLARE because the plagiarism stuff kept coming up while googling her name CLAIRE. She's also done her best to wipe any trace of her fanfiction misdeeds from the web. Fortunately the internet NEVAR FORGETS.
