gacking without permission.
I am a tad peeved, to say the least. Not angry, but extremely peeved.
On
goodenough4me, a QAF uk comm. Latest post is a bunch of icons, including one of Aidan Gillen which is intensely pretty. (the first one, bearded) I looked, flicked through the icons, which although are pretty, I didn't feel the need for. The first one, which wasn't in Stuart mode, snagged my attention as it looked familiar and I tried to figure out where I'd seen it before. Then it clicked. The reason I'm peeved? That's *my* photo. The strand of blonde hair you see at chest height is *my* hair. I posted it along with my review of Someone Who'll Watch Over Me on a couple of qaf and Aidan communities.
I scrolled back up, noted she'd posted all the usual stuff about crediting, don't alter, etc, along with a bit about where the caps she'd used were from. But nope, nothing about where the first photo was from. Understandably am a tad peeved, especially since it appears to be popular from the comments.
Am now understanding where people whose fanart gets gacked for icons are coming from.
Most of I've done is commented with evidence and asked for credit. Feel sudden inclination to make my own icon from that picture.
Whilst writing this post, she's since apologised and credited me. But still. :gnashes teeth a bit:
