Today I was browsing through Spring's profiles, adding pictures to our Facebook, and I came across something that honestly surprised me. The long and short of how I made this discovery is this. When the Seasons stories were actually started, I hadn't yet met Allie or Kiki. The character profiles were set up on two different threads, one for Allie and one for Kiki, but Allie started both of them. So when we copied the profile thread links over to our page after taking over Allie's characters, the link to her profile was still at the top of the page.
While searching for information on the profiles, I happened to see Allie's avatar and the link to her profile. Despite the bad blood between us I still think she makes the most adorable avatar outfits. Curious to see which items she'd used, I clicked through her her profile. And there I found a link to her most recent story. Of course curiosity led me to click the link, and while scrolling down I made the maddening discovery that all of Allie's posts contained MY post formats!! Grant it, they were old and hadn't been used in years, and a few of the colors and words were changed. But there it was. All my hard work and she was getting all the credit!!
I didn't say anything, of course, but it's so frustrating to see your work taken by someone else and seeing them get all the credit for it. That made me mad. Not mad enough to confront her and bring up all KINDS of bad blood, but still mad.
Has that ever happened to you? Have you ever had something stolen from you?
