I ordered my Narin back in 2013 as part of D-Storic's 'End of Contract' sale, and have done very little with him. He ended up with a blonde Johnny wig, wearing a copy of a 'Hobbit' commission.
He's appeared as an extra in several stories, but after my Butterfly Narae (who was also ordered during that same sale back in 2013) started appearing in stories featuring my Fashion sized dolls, I decided that it was high time Narin was finally given a makeover so he could play a male servant in everyone's castle. I've been avoiding pairing any of my regular MSD and JIDs with my Fashion sized dolls because of the inconsistency in head sizes, but Narae and Narin have much smaller head that most other MSD size dolls, so they would work just fine with them.
So I started by making him a new wig. And he appeared with Narae in the Winter Patrol story...

Then last month I decided to finally make him a better outfit....

So, now I'm coming to the real reason for this post. This morning, for the second time in as many weeks, I received a message from someone on Facebook telling me about a website that is stealing many of my Blog posts, without permission, or even any kind of credit - toynews.com
I had tried going to their contact page before, trying to tell them to cease and desist, but their contact page would not work. It's apparently fake, as are all the email addresses. There didn't seem to be any way to contact them. Then this morning I was given a link to a page by another blogger describing all their efforts to try and stop that site from stealing her blog posts. She had apparently gone to great lengths to try and put a stop to her blog being copied, given the run around at every turn, with no success at all.
I felt very discouraged, and violated, but there didn't seem much I could do to stop it, and I almost felt like quitting. But I've decided to try do something about it. From now on I'm going to put my website name and copyright statement in every single post. Perhaps a statement like "This post is the copyright property of Martha Boers and if it appears anywhere other than on my Antique Lilac website, it was stolen without my permission."
I don't know if the admins on the toynewz site actually edit the stuff they steal because it looks like they just copy my entire post, so I'm hoping that statement will show up when they steal my post. Or maybe they'll cut it out, who knows? But it's worth a try.
