I’ve seen the line that there wasn’t much harm done. I disagree. There was plenty of harm done, not least to Rose. She denied herself the satisfaction of doing original creative work and denied her readers the pleasure of reading original work by a writer they presumably liked

I think this sucks because I deliberately set such a low bar to repurpose my writing and it still wasn’t met. The only conclusion one can draw is that Rose wanted people to think it was her work rather than mine.

I will just comment briefly to say I’m aware of the republished book. I’d reiterate that Vaults of Vaarn is published under Creative Commons and the book text encourages you to remix, edit, reuse the content.
