Someone Posted a Susan G. Story to the AO3, and it Wasn't Anyone I Know
"Resurrection," the V4S premiere written by the much-missed late
susanmgarrett back in the day, has turned up on the AO3, posted by a
palaemon on 5/09/12.
She credits it. She posted it under a lock. She is apparently not actively trying to plagiarize it, just to take advantage of the AO3's formatting capacity. However, I still find her action upsetting. Does the AO3 have a policy on this? Posting stories by other people? Deceased people? I believe that
tonjavmoore is, for all practical purposes, Susan G.'s fannish executor...?
Once that I know of, Susan ran into a person at a con selling copies of one of Susan's online stories made up — without permission, obviously — into a zine. This brings that to my mind. (And the formatting here does Susan's work no credit, on top of everything else.)
Addendum: FWIW, I've reported this to the AO3 volunteers.
