So the owner of the Italian message board I mentioned in my previous post answered my email. She's also the one who'd translated my fic and she kindly explained it to me that a friend of hers had sent my fic to her in a text file and she hadn't credited me because she didn't have a link to my LJ or my email addy. I'm still not sure why'd they listed my beta as the author, but that's not important anymore.
Now I'm listed as the author, although I still have no link to my LJ, even though I've asked for it. *sigh* Well, I guess I'll have to be patient some more.

I mean, WTF?!?!
I came across this Italian message board, and because I don't speak the language, I didn't understand a word, but they have lots of pics so I checked that out.
They also have a few fanfictions and RPS fics. Just for the hell of it, I thought I'd take a look at those, too, and to my biggest surprise, I found my RPS fic Cumin Boy there. Now please don't judge me that I like RPS fics, I know they're not everyone's cup of tea. :)
So, the fic that I found is called Ragazzo Cumino and even though, like I said, I don't speak Italian, it's pretty obvious even to me that it's my fic. I'm not sure if I should be pissed or feel flattered that someone took the time to translate it. And on top of it all, the person who reposted my fic lists my beta as the author and not me. She even linked to her LJ. Again, WTF?
I wrote an email to the owner of the site, I'm eagerly awaiting her response. I didn't ask her to remove my fic, but I think the least she could do is credit me properly.
