Hiding fandom in the underwear drawer since 1977

lady_songsmith drew my attention to something today and has just posted about it here. A new blogger, Narnian Caparison, is blogging about Narnia, reccing her favorite fics, providing nice links to those works and discussion, and also compiling the stories into downloadable pdf "books." Further, the blogger states: Stories may have been edited for spelling, punctuation, minor grammatical issues, or clarity.

Now, this blogger has good taste. From my F-list, she has works on her site in downloadable format by: lady_songsmith ilysia_039 cofax7 snacky andi_horton edenfalling autumnia harmony_lover

I did not know she had included my story, Under Cover. in her Book 7 until I saw it there. I don't know if she edited it for "spelling, punctuation, minor grammatical issues, or clarity" as I didn't download her pdf and do a line by line comparison. snacky and lady_songsmith didn't know their stories had been included either.

I've been getting seriously beaten over the head and the blogger has only put up one of my stories, and so I'm not going to engage on this [edit -- but got irritated at some of the responses when I had assumed and hoped this would all be very civil and so have made one comment on her site]. You might feel differently about it. snacky pointed out that the blogger seems well intentioned and I agree. I appreciate what she is doing. [edit -- subsequent posts the blogger has made have regrettably indicated otherwise]. It's the editing of someone's work, or the potential use of someone's fanart without permission, that might be troubling to someone.

Thanks to lady_songsmith for pointing it out!
