I doubt many of you are aware of me or have read any of my stories; I haven't been active on this site for quite a while. However, I feel that I should leave some kind of explanation for few of you who were aware of me and may be wondering what happened to me.
In short, I'm going to be purging all of my content from Literotica. I was recently made aware of the fact that some very unscrupulous individuals make a practice of stealing stories from this site and then selling them as their own work. At first, I thought it was something I didn't really have to worry about. I was too small to warrant that kind of attention. But, out curiosity, I decided to google one of my stories and found that it had been translated into Russian without my knowledge and was being sold.
Imitation might be the highest form of flattery, but it really rubbed me the wrong way that someone else was being paid for my work.
So, to prevent this from happening in the future, I'll be taking my proverbial ball (my stories) and going elsewhere. Thanks for all the feedback, both good and bad. There was a time when I really needed it, but that time has mostly passed.
Good luck to you all.
EDIT:
A good point was made. Deleting my stories would remove the only evidence I have that I am the original author. So I guess they'll have to stay...
