PLEASE READ THIS PART: Most of this is "chapter" is just going to be me completely venting about an incident that CatMoonGirl notified me of. I had checked my email and saw a PM from her. You see, I had been expecting this marvelous reply to my PM to her. Imagine my surprise when I found out that I had been a victim of blatant stealing! I've been on Fanfiction since August of last year, and this had never been a problem before. But now, god, I don't know. You've all read this story, and from the reviews and faves, I'd say you like it. And then some user by the name of BondSlave had the nerve to take my story and stick it in hers, without my permission. But not only did she not do an almost direct copy, she had the nerve to take my story and in my opinion, kill it. It was like she read my story, copied certain parts of it and then put the rest of my story in her own words (which have ill grammar, but whatever). Not to mention she makes them twelve years old. Because, really, twelve year olds in 2001-2002 (that'd be about when the story SHOULD be set) were sex obsessed, lamp throwing, angry men. Totally, right? She added a few things that I didn't. For example, the appearing and mysteriously disappearing Near, and they just had sex, but of course, they're not gay. In the least. And the sex scene goes about three sentences further than mine. But otherwise, it's my story in a butchered mess. Complete with a lot of my own lines!
There's so much more about the story that I could say (like Mello is now named Michael?), but to save my time, I'm not going to. Here's a link to the chapter, if you want to check it out yourself. .net/s/4662456/6/Mello_is_the_one_and_only See for yourself.
Now I'll take this time to say that I, SincerelyRainbow, will not post on any other accounts. This is my only account and has been since I joined Fanfiction a year and three months ago. If you see any of my work elsewhere, notify me please. I do not give permission to anybody to post my work anywhere, on this site or elsewhere.
I also want to thank CatMoonGirl for giving me the heads up about this incident. And I want to thank all you guys that have read this story, and my other stories! You guys mean the world to me, really. All your reviews, favorites and alerts make it worthwhile.
EDIT AS OF 11-21-08 1:38 CENTRAL TIME: The chapter in question has been deleted. I decided that I would post her reason here. "
Dude, I didn't even write this chapter! My friend did! The FRIEND WHO THESTORY WAS ORIGINALY FOR! retard. I planned on deleting it because I wanted to
write MY OWN version of Mello and Matts first time! She only posted cause she
was tired of me not updateing so get a life God."-Bondslave
Let's not even go into how angry her reply actually made me. There's so much I want to say about how lame that excuse is! I've also been told that other people have accused her of stealing as well in other stories.
Coincidence? I think not.
And since using chapters for author's notes is against the rules (Oh snap, I read the rules, unlike some users), I'll try to write something in here. Don't expect much. You don't even have to read it.
The living room was still a mess, and it would probably stay that way for a few days. Neither Matt nor Mello would bother to clean it completely. Neither cared that much. The broken table would be thrown out along with the shattered lamp. The PS3 that had been so brutally damaged would be replaced if the cigarette and chocolate budget allowed for it.
But for now none of that really mattered. All that mattered was that Mello was sleeping peacefully on Matt's chest, the anger fully gone for now. And Matt's arms were wrapped around the boy, one on the small of the blond's back and the other tangled in strands of blond hair. They were still sticky from earlier. Matt's jaw was still sore, still bruising over, and he was sure he had bruises and scratch marks all over his back. But that didn't matter either.
Because, really, it wasn't the first, and it certainly wouldn't be the last physical fight and sex make up session the pair would have. It was how their relationship worked, as twisted and sadistic as it was. But as long as they always made up, it was okay. As long as Mello never really hated Matt, and Matt never really walked out like he always said he would, it would all work out in the end. And that was the only thing that really mattered.
AUTHOR'S NOTES AGAIN: I just wanted to get the author note's in there without breaking the rules. So yeah, excuse the crappy three paragraph faux-chapter. It's still a chapter, so I didn't break the rules. XD
