The issue with Jan's stories being in book form is that people want to read the original form, ie Brian and Justin as main characters. She's not the first person to re-work fanfic into original fic, though, and she won't be the last. It's a little weird to read a story that you've read in a different form, though. I haven't read Jan's, but another author that I've known for a long time. I think the difference there was that it was RPS fic, so the switch of names wasn't quite so jarring. Just...odd.
As we've said here before, what people do outside the comm with regard to sharing fic is beyond our reach, and out of our control. I'm sure some people downloaded the fics while they were up. That's their business. The issue was someone coming in with the expressed intent to start shit. We're not having that. That person has been banned, as will anyone else that tries to pull a stunt like this again.
Sorry, it's been a long day, and your mods are cranky. Coffee...yes, coffee would be good now...and music. And porn.
