Dear Fanpop users,

[hsapiens.livejournal.com]

Uploading everything I make is not okay with me.

I am flattered that you consider my work good enough to save and upload my entire post to another site but PLEASE STOP. I am aware of Fanpop, I have an account there, and will post my content when I want it there.

Even when you give me credit, which is often and I do appreciate that, Fanpop still attaches your name to my work and that's my one rule: don't attach your name to my work. I know it isn't your intention to claim you made my icons but that's how Fanpop works. It makes me seriously grumpy to find that I can't post icons that I made because they're already posted and have somebody else's name on them.

I'm not addressing this to people who take a couple of icons and upload them for their own use; that is the point of icons. Uploading everything I make to another site, whether it's the entire post or everything in that fandom, is not okay with me. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Mish

omg hun, now that you mentioned this I went to check and there are a lot of my icons there as well. O.O
Like whole sets of icons!!!! that's crazy. I didn't think they did that.
What are you gonna do about it?

That is crazy. Some people really have no respect. And I always thought Fanpop was the uglier stepsister of Bing anyway.

People never fail to remind me of their suckitude.
