The stupid burns bright in this one.

So apparently some numbskull is taking NCIS fan fiction, compiling them and then selling them on Amazon.

Some of the books are priced at around $62. ???? Okay, I love you guys...but even for my favorite fic authors I'm not paying that kind of money. Much less for something where people's work was stolen off the net and published without their permission.

The fact that the idiot put her actual name (I'm assuming it's not a pseudonym) on one of the volumes is somewhat hysterical.

It's volume three?!?

And the story you can see when you click on to look at it? Is Breaking the Chains by Gracie (Squige.org is down right now, but it can be found on wwomb)

And the whole legality issue of NCIS is a copyrighted television show and no one authorized these stories... the stupidity is mind boggling.

eta- what's weird is the paperback link leads to volume 2

The WTF is so intense it burns, am I right?

How fast before she gets shut down? Geez.

This is disturbing if it's not self-publishing by a group of authors and is a wholesale plagiarism of work.

I think the word I'm looking for is "wat".

I think maybe the word is actually 'twat; ;-)

There are lots of things I'd love to see happen here, but the largest would be that none of the ficcers get in trouble for this. How much would it suck to have your fic ripped off by someone, sold for profit, and then for you to catch hell for it?

How does anyone think this is a good idea?

Holy crap. I wonder which authors have had their work incorporated into these things? Oy. Massive fail.

Oh for fuck's sake. What a stupid cow. I suppose a contract would be out of the question? Mind you, for that kind of stupid I'd expect to see her in the Darwin Awards soon enough.

Oy. And may I just say, when you call her stupid, you're insulting stupid people everywhere?
