You know! Excuse my language but, WTF? How can the mods act that way??? That's really upsetting!!! I know she didn't steal from me, but still, it makes me angry because I understand how those authors must feel, and the way the mods are reacting to this?? They're given them the evidence in a damn silver plate!! What more could they possibly want? *sighs* Okay, breathing now... rant over

Good question LOL. They all sucked. They kept modifying our posts to remove the links or deleting them altogether, so that we had no way of defending ourselves and our claims, and one of them was even like, "I don't see the similarities" about the stories. Seriously, WTF?? It's obvious he didn't even LOOK at them, because even a 4-year-old could look at the two stories and see that the words were the same.
The mods just didn't want us taking over their forum by posting in all of Tanja's threads and "attacking" her, as I believe one of them called it, so they did their best to get us to go away. We're not going away though. We've stopped posting while we wait on the formal complaint to go through, but if nothing comes out of it, we'll just go back to annoying them.
I already got my account suspended there for posting links (which is against their rules, for some odd reason), but I made another one LOL.

LOL Oh Julie! Well, you keep us posted and if they don't do anything, let me know, I wanna join in "the fun" and swarm her threads. It's almost unbelievable. I'm sure you guys alread tried this, but has anybody emailed Tanja? I would soooooo love to hear what she has to say about all this.

And you know at least all her threads were closed which is what we wanted. I think the second they open up again we need to make an appearance again! I go check every single day to make sure they are still closed and that hose beast isn't writing as us again!

LOL yep, for posting too many links. ;D But I already have another account, and I won't hesitate to use it or to make even more if they don't respond to our letter. We Bsb fans are a powerful force when we band together; we can make those mods miserable if we want to. *evil grin* I don't care how many times I get banned; I can always keep making new accounts if I need to LOL. They'll never stop us!

That's a good idea! We could start a Yahoo Group or something and have people join if they're interested in being part of the Backstreet Army. Then if we needed to rally the troops, we'd be able to contact everyone in one shot.

Hehe, I broke my silence on the Refresh board. Whoops. Blame Mare. I was posting in an LD thread about how if they think the new rules THERE are bad, they should check out the dictatorship that is Refresh Daily. So I went to Refresh to get the link and saw that there's a thread up for December fanfic awards, and someone nominated at least one of "Tanja's" stories (which is really JAYDEE'S story), so I was telling Mare, and she suggested we nominate Tanja for the Milli Vanilli award, and I thought that was incredibly hilarious and was telling her how I'm still banned on the first name I registered there, but that I have a second one I could post it on, and she was like "You should be The Tanjanator". So, needless to say, I thought that was even more hilarious, and I have little self-control when it comes to stuff like that, so I did it! ;D And it's only like 6 in the morning in the UK, so my message might stay up for a few hours before I get banned again, haha.

I'm having a problem with some chick stealing my story! And I never understood why people got so mad about it until it happened TO ME! Cause I'm about to hunt her down and cut her head off, seriously!
But she is a smart one cause she didn't copy it word by word, she changed it around a little bit but it is the same story. Instead of two female characters, she has three. In my story they work for a gay guy and in her story too. But what really, really drove me mad was the fact that one of her girls is addicted to coffee (which became this big part of the girl I wrote) and the other one changes her hair color everytime she breaks up with a guy, which is something my character also did.
The first chapter of my story starts with one of the girls in bed while the other one is banging at her door. And she wrote exactly the same thing but with other words! It's ridiculous because she's going to say it's not a copy, BUT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
