Introduced my brother to coffee Sirup.

Result: my brother enjoys drinking coffee now

Side effect: I‘m buying twice as much Sirup and coffee these days.

Conclusion: little brothers are expensive

“In life, people said that everything happened for a reason. But what about death? What was the fucking reason for that? That fucked up angel of death enjoyed to take the young and beautiful. The innocent. The ones that people loved.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate.

I miss you mum. Even though I do not believe in religion or the afterlife, I hope that I’m wrong, and that one day I get to hug you again💕

Well, this is horrible. 📚💙

www.reddit.com/r/MM_Romance...
Hello, everyone. First-time redditor here. I made this account on behalf of my friend, who has a message to send out about an author on here plagiarizing her work. Here's her message: Hello! Today I found out that Layla Moran has plagiarized three fanfics that I wrote and posted publicly, for free over the last few years and has published them as her own works and is selling them and making money from them. I've spent most of today collecting excerpts, filling out reports, and generally wondering what to do in this sort of situation. People have posted on this subreddit saying, generally, they like Layla Moran's ebooks but that there are many editing errors and internal inconsistencies. This is partly because I write non-betaed fanfic and share it for fun! It is also partly because Layla Moran seems to have just done a sort of find and replace for character names and descriptions, leading to errors. One such error that has come up multiple times in reviews is the character Diarmuid or Diamuid. Someone on The Rancher and His Mail-Order Husband wonders, "At 45% who the heck is Diamuid? It's like the author changed a character's name and missed this one. Needed a beta reader!!!" Diarmuid is the name of the main character in the movie Pilgrimage (2017), and is one of the fandoms I write for. For more proof, please read this excerpt from my fic Bluebells and Daylillies and Wild Roses Running Rampant: "David had almost joined their company. He’d gone nearly the entire war without being shot and damned if near the end of it all someone hadn’t gotten him right in the leg. The surgeon had told him they needed to take the entire limb. David had grabbed his collar, pulled him close until they were nose-to-nose, and gritted out that he’d break every one of his fingers if he tried it. He kept the leg, earned a limp, and found later, when he was beset by memories and the scent of blood and gunpowder, dizzy, pulse racing, that he’d gotten what they called the soldier’s heart, too." Then compare it to The Rancher's Mail-Order Husband: "Graham had come close to joining the dead himself, narrowing surviving a gunshot wound to the leg near the warn's end. The surgeon wanted to amputate, and Graham, fueled by desperation, had snarled at him through gritted teeth, threatening to break his fingers if he so much as tried. He kept the leg but earn a limp that followed him everywhere, along with something the doctors called 'soldier's heart'--a condition that left him shaking, sleepless, and burdened with memories of blood and gunpowder." This passage from The Beauty and His Beast is even more egregious when compared with part of my fic An Invitation to Happiness: "Everild Reed hadn't fought for glory or gold. At the time, he thought he'd stood for God--that the king's cause, which he eagerly made his own, was not only legitimate but justified both on earth and in the eyes of Heaven. More than five years later, carved into adulthood by the sword's blade and burdened with the weight of his choices, his body a hardened knot of muscle and scarred skin, Everild knows better now." From my fic An Invitation to Happiness: "David hadn’t fought for glory or gold. At the time, he thought he’d stood for God—that the king’s cause, which he so readily made his own, was not only legitimate but justified both on earth and in the eyes of Heaven. More than five years later, carved into adulthood by the sword’s blade, his body a hardened knot of scarred skin, his throat ravaged by his own roars of rage and anguish, David knows better." Layla Moran (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/19830235.Layla_Moran) has published three books that almost directly lifted from my fanfics: The Beauty and His Beast is plagiarized from An Invitation to Happiness (https://archiveofourown.org/works/24497809/chapters/59134432). The Warrior and the Monk plagiarizes the work how rich the earth, how bright the stars (https://archiveofourown.org/works/44139204/chapters/110991111). The Rancher's Mail-Order Husband plagiarizes the work Bluebells and Daylillies and Wild Roses Running Rampant (https://archiveofourown.org/works/30890603/chapters/76276643). All she's done is change the names and rearranged the order of the words, and, in one case, apparently changed a hen to a rooster to a horse and back. I've been trying to get the word out about this, though it's been difficult since I have no idea who to go to or how to prevent someone from republishing fanfic that I wrote for fun and for free for others to enjoy. I don't have a Reddit account, or many other accounts. I post on Ao3 and tumblr and that's it. I'm sad that someone's taken my work and passed it off as their own. -- EDIT: Holy shit, thanks for all the attention this post has gotten! In just three hours, other redditors have linked some of her other works to Dragon Age fanfic (The Prince and the Commander is stolen from this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37497220?view_full_work=true and Married to a Fae is stolen from this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/34368661/chapters/85523074) and I'm sure there's countless others. In fact, most likely ALL of her work is stolen from fanfic. I'm going to reach out to those authors as well to let them know. EnduringParadox (the original author) has also been collecting screenshots as evidence and is considering her options of sending takedown notices. Here's some more evidence she found:

Authors, you do know I love you, right?

But for the love of all that is holy, please, please, please, please have a proper online biography somewhere. Even if it is just Amazon or wherever you sell your books.

It makes the life of a reviewer/blogger so much more easy.

“Fear can be rational”

“Sure, when the bear is in front of a man standing on a mountain, he fears the beast and jumps into action. But the problem with humanity is that the man fears the bear right before he even goes to the mountain. Thus, never climbing up.”

I was joking with my brother about his car makeover project, and almost said

“that’s the most use that hairdryer has had since mum died”

But I didn’t want to put a damper on the mood, so instead I said

“that’s the most use that hairdryer has had since forever”, and somehow that’s worse😞

“Fears are the things you avoid” he explains. “Once you’ve faced them, they are just problems”

“That’s simplistic” I whisper.

“It’s realistic. And problems can be hard to solve, too.”

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

The worst part about being a busy bookworm is that sometimes you have to stop at the most exciting part of the book, knowing fully well that the next time you’ll have the chance to sit down and read is 2 days from now😩

Currently reading “the Bear and the Nightingale” by Katherine Arden… is it bad that I was surprised to see how “Nightingale” was spelt?

Over the last few days I’ve been creating a (private!) Notion sheet for tracking books, fanfictions etc. I’ve still got a lot of work to do, but I’m loving how it’s all coming together😊
Picture of a computer screen. On the left side, there is a large picture of a fantasy room decorated with thousands of plants and a spit sing wooden staircase. The walls and roof are made of glass panels. On the right of the screen, two graphs are stacked on top of each other. The upper graph consists of a line chart depicting books read per month. The lower chart is a bar chart depicting how many times the creator has read each genre

Hi, My name is Eb, and I’m a massive introvert🙈 I spend way too much time escaping into the warm embrace of fictional worlds, and am hoping to find people that I can talk to about my bookish obsessions😇
