JayDee

Thank ‘ee! I was going to get around to it at some point, just been a ways busy, thank ‘ee twice, in fact!

 I have to admit, the one bit where they take the line “ Saxon had grown a little bored of being in the kitchen, although like most dogs he was capable of lying alone for hours, dreaming of chasing rabbits today was just not that day.” and added the bold text, well, maybe readers really really needed to know that the dog wasn’t dreaming of rabbits right on that day. I like to imagine this creative soul, hard at work, maybe chewing a strand of hair and them BAM! inspiration strikes and those six words flowed onto the page.

If I had a time machine, I’d be buying bitcoin in terms of how many per penny.  Hope they nail the thief.

The best we can hope for is that the other site will pull the plagiarist’s story, if not their entire account. Common sense (oh, that rarest of superpowers!) tells me nothing at all will be done, but I at least have the satisfaction of knowing that I said something anyway.

And with any luck, JayDee’s reviewer will learn to check publication dates and/or how to count before they accuse JayDee of lifting a story again. Definitely not the sharpest pencil in the box, that one...
