Step aside, Anne Rice!
First time post, because I just had to share this...

We have a writer over in Stargate fandom who appears to be even more bat-shit than anyone previously reported (and that's up against some mighty stiff competition, what with the beagle botherer and the lunatic Jonas lovers). She's been writing a series of novels with her own original character shagging Daniel Jackson and posting significant chunks of them to one of the more popular lists.

However, this prima donna has a bit of a bug up her butt about the concept of people having access to the results of her god-like creative genius. So much so that she will only post part of her stories from her website on the list she's been spamming gracing with her creativity.

The plot thickens, however, when she then starts granting special dispensations to people who are disabled and therefore cannot read on the computer, since she doesn't want the general riff raff 'stealing' her creative product by downloading it. Because people should be reading it on her website, as God intended! In fact, people who download her fic in order to read it in other ways are, according to her, 'thieves' and 'site suckers'.

One person I know mailed the writer in question to get access to the rest of the story (since she has the requisite physical problems) and the writer set her a quiz on the previous chapters to test she'd actually read it before she would agree to send it to her! People who fail are allocated to the 'Hall of Shame' and threatened with being reported to their ISP.

E.T.A. And now we have a response from the author (let me know a url if anyone has saved this in toto, please?) and an attempt at martyrdom, after Geoshitties take down her site for either TOS violation and/or bandwidth spike. Oh, the humanity!
