So... I still feel pretty at sea tonight, after being alerted earlier today (thanks, [Unknown site tag]learnsslowly!) that a story of mine had been pinched and put on that ebooks-tree site.

Curiously enough, it was a story which had gone close to unnoticed, even by the recipient, when it went up as part of the NFE 2014*; so however they decide to take what they took, it wasn't obvious merit. I thought at first that the story-takers were working backwards (ie most recently posted first) from the date on which they began,but that doesn't seem to work, either.

Well, whatever was their grounds for taking what they took, to be using work which I put up as a gift, as part of the gift economy, for money-making (however they do it) is not something I can let go without protest, so though I find such stuff pretty alien, I've begun the process of registering my non-approval of this use of my work.

So - I didn't plan a post today, but there it is.

Plus, for lighter relief, of mild interest to australians - Julia Gillard on Game of Thrones - the politics! the unexpected twists! (and twistings of the knife). It's like those ex-cricketers who become commenters on TV.

*and hasn't been much noticed since, either. Who? Me? Chagrinned? What makes you think that?
