I don't give a flying fuck (I've found I get airsick while doing that), but I do care deeply about cultural authenticity in fanfiction, even if it's just smut... I'm just not nearly as educated about Japan as I like to let people think, and nowhere near the knowledge Lord Archive possesses.
Still, I don't include author's notes just to clarify cultural points, at least in my fan fiction, so I suppose it wouldn't be me getting ripped off so blatantly anyhow. Sad to see all of this... and to think, Unforgiven was for one of the DaD contests and that happened to it.
Well, I almost wish that I were ripped off like this, so that I could feel even more appreciated for my fanfiction... And so I could send a thief to intellectual property thieves' hell!
