SKFFA Update and the Ebay Issue

[kristensk]

Website Updates: The SWAT Kats Fan Fiction Archive is updated! 5 new fanfics and 1 new author this time out.

Project Updates: Finally have ideas for my last two short challenge fics, so I'll try and get them written today. And, I'm hoping all this fic-writing has managed to kickstart my writing juices as regards "Miscomm". It needs it. At my current rate, it'll be done in ten years since I keep putting out something like a chapter a year.

And, Stuff:

and

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Is it worth reporting? What's involved in that? Do you have to prove the art is yours and, if so, how?

And, for the record, I'm not frothing at the mouth over it or anything. It's annoying, but I know anything I post to the internet risks being "borrowed". (Though it did tempt me to use my "No more Mr. Nice Hanyou" icon just because.)

O-kay... do you still have the original pics with your name on 'em? I know you put TA at the bottom and the date. That appears to have been removed from the ones on eBay. If you report this guy to eBay you can show them your original pics. He didn't even give credit to your work, which he really should... :/

Yeah, I still have the originals. And, in the case of about three of them, I have unflattened copies. Ie: I have my working files from Photoshop and/or Painter with the images broken into three or more layers, while this person only has whatever jpg copies they downloaded. If that's any help with this sort of thing.

Contact eBay, tell them you're the artist of the images. You still have some of them on FyreSight I believe. Point eBay to those. And the layered images would help proove you're the original artist. It's your art, they shouldn't be making money out of it, I'm sure that breaks a law or two on its own.
