Same author?

[wylie236]

Just curious if anyone knows if the person posting stories under the name Carhovi is the same person posting stories under the name Jedd Clampett?

An older story from this site is getting new life on a different site under a different author's name and I was just curious.

Could be a pen name. Samuel Clemens did it as Mark TwainKant
But, the internet wasn't around at his time.

I don't know about this instance, but it's not that unusual for different names to be used on different sites by the same person. My stories are published under different names on this Web site than on other Web sites and in the marketplace. I had an established name elsewhere when I joined here, and Literotica wouldn't register me under that name--thus the same story by the same author under different names on different sites.

Possibly not.

Several of my stories have been stolen and reposted elsewhere as the thief's work. I found one of mine on xhamster last week - stolen from here. The thief had changed the title slightly but had left my copyright statement. Doh!

She - she says she's a she - had the earlier unedited version from Lit. I have now edited the version posted here.

I have now started putting some of my already posted stories on xhamster. If they are going to be read there I prefer to have control. I can delete those posted by me.

Isn't Jedd clampett the author that had something to do with all those hate emails being sent around?

I was just curious because a story titled "Fools in Love" is being posted chapter by chapter on SOL by Jedd Clampett and it's the same story as "A Fool Stumbles Into Love" posted on Literotica in 2011 by Carhovi. I have noticed recently that a number of authors of stories on Lit and SOL have seen their work showing up on Amazon lately as being the work of others. Again, just curious.

When the title is changed, my suspicions are aroused.

If the author is posting elsewhere, they usually leave the title as it was.

This has been going on for more than a decade--since Amazon and other on-line distributors started accepting distribution of self-published erotica. And sometimes it means something nefarious and sometimes it doesn't. If it does, the nature of the beast makes it very difficult to do much of anything but point to it, which you now have done.

As already noted, in my case you'll find my stories all over the Internet and they are posted under pen names that are legitimate and pen names that aren't (and when there's no author's name, that's obviously a stolen use of the story). As far as being published elsewhere under another name and here as well, that was Literotica's doing, not mine. It wouldn't register me under my established pen name. Someone else registered under that three years earlier than I did (but doesn't appear to have used the account for anything).

Well the post above got me to thinking so I searched Jedd and got this

https://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=279658

Now if he is banned he can't have any stories under his name to be confused with anyone else. So now this looks like a continuation of some sort of weird game centering around this Jedd and the other name.

 

[wylie236]

I thought about contacting carhovi directly, but at the time his account was banned. Just thought some other authors might have known. Didn't mean to take up your precious time with a question,

 

[RejectReality]

Try contacting the author either here on SOL. If the answer you receive isn't satisfactory to you or none is forthcoming, use the contact webmaster link on SOL to bring the concern to Lazeez.

Since the story was posted here first, SOL is where any shenanigans will need to be reported. Laz is pretty good about investigating and dealing with things like this.

 

[lovecraft68]

On the subject of 'shenanigans' maybe it would behoove the site to take a look at these two authors/posters again and see what the hell the deal really is because their names keep showing up together under suspicious behavior.

What it smells like to me is someone whose account got hacked ( probably via one of the email service hacks at Yahoo and elsewhere that's happened in the last couple of years ) and a jackass started fucking with people in that name. Bans were put in place, accounts sorted out, and things are back to the way they should be.

The SOL account could very well be said jackass continuing the scumbaggery by claiming credit for the stories of the person who was hacked.
