A NOTE TO ANYONE WHO HAD BEEN READING THIS STORY BEFORE I TOOK IT DOWN:

I am reposting this story because I've missed you all and you can't let the bastards of the world win, right? Just give me a little time because the process of reposting 23 chapters is tedious and time-consuming. I'll get them all up quick as possible. I've made some corrections and added a little warning to the dirty, theiving plagiarizers of the world. Hope you all still love it (and me). :D

To everyone who offered support, sympathy, encouragement and especially to bitch slap the plagiarizer if we could track her down--thank you from the bottom of my heart. And sorry for the big old temper tantrum. I'm reposting the story including the chapters I've added to it on Twilighted since taking it down from FF.

The other site did finally remove the plagiarizer's post, but I never did find out who she was or how to contact her. I recognize I'm taking a chance of it happening it again, but I agree with all of you who said how unfair it was that a few losers ruin the fun for all the rest of us!

A NOTE TO ANYONE WHO HAS NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT:

Please see the note below that I posted when I took the story down.

I’m very, very sorry to do this, but I am at least temporarily taking my stories off of Fan Fiction because a person calling herself ShesGot_Spunk has copied and pasted two chapters of my story Never Sleep in a Strange Man’s Bed, changing only the character names and locations, onto another site and claimed it as her own work. I’m so angry and hurt by this, I need to take some time to decide if I want to keep doing this.

For all of you who have been so kind and supportive of this story, I am aware how unfair this is to you and I’m so sorry. I’m just hoping maybe she hasn’t downloaded and stolen the whole story yet and I can stop her this way.

If you know this person please tell her what a completely nasty, hateful thing she’s doing. And if you have to slap her, I can’t stop you, of course!

I’m not giving the site name or the insipid title she came up with because I don’t want her to get a bunch of story hits and have the webmaster over there refuse to take it down anyway. I have informed the webmaster that it’s a plagiarized work so hopefully it will be taken down soon.

Please try to understand and give me a little time to think this whole thing over. I may be back and I want all of you have been so kind and respectful and fun to know how much I appreciate you all. I’m really sorry about this.
