Copied Story on FFn!!! Please Read this and Report this author!
I received this email on FanFiction.net last night:
The following author: DimitrilovesRoselovesdimitri has copied a story from this author: jaspersluv1863.
The story in question is called: Shadow Sins (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6324809/1/bShadow_b_bSins_b), in a thinly veiled attempt to hid the fact that DimitrilovesRoselovesdimitri has copied a story. Though there are some changes made to this story, it is not enough to hid the fact that the story is copied. If you look at the publication dates on both stories you will see that Immortal Sins (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5551821/1/bImmortal_b_bSins_b), the original story, was published on December 2, 2009 and Shadow Sins, the story in question, was published on September 14, 2010. The dates between the two, give the accused more than enough time to have copied the story and published it as their own.
If you want more proof then read the stories, and when you get to chapter nine of Shadow Sins you will see the author's true writing skill. It is bad enough I thought that a 7 year old had written it. Though I would not be shocked if it was a seven year old.
If you could please help me to report this story, and hopefully get it and the author in question OFF of fanfiction that would be very helpful.
Thank you for your time, and think about what I said. And think about this: what if this was your story? What would you do then? Would you just let that author get away with it? If you do think about this too, you are helping them commit a crime. Not just any crime, but the big P in writing. One of the worst crimes another writer could commit, Plagiarism. Do you want to be a part of that?
Sincerely,
Moonlight Isabella Silverstein
I read both stories in question, starting with Immortal Sins by jaspersluv1863, then skimmed through the first 8 chapters of Shadow Sins. And those 8 chapters are practically IDENTICAL to Immortal Sins... and then once I got to chapter 9, I couldn't read more than 2 lines because it was so horrible and in desperate need of a beta. But the writing in and of itself was so much more immature that you can totally tell that it's not the same author that wrote the first 8 chapters.
Moonlight sent me this too, once I replied letting her know I report the story, first 8 chapters, under 'Doesn't belong to the uploading author'. (For those who still aren't sure, if there are any.):
ME: Thank you for letting me know and spreading the word. I report chapters 1-8 of Shadow Sins for abuse as 'not the property of the uploading writer', since those are the only chapters that are available for her to have copied.
I did read Immortal Sins, and then just skimmed over the first 8 of Shadow Sins, but once I got to chapter 9, I couldn't even read more than 2 lines of it. It was so poorly written and desperately needs beta'd, further proving that it's not the original author's work.
Hope this gets remedied quickly.
Thanks again for the heads up.
Moonlight: Your welcome. And thank you so much for supporting the cause. It's authors like that, that we need to join together and get rid of them. Show them that we will NOT stand for this!
Yeah I know what you mean. I got so confused! Then I read the reviews, did some research and found out that the story was stolen. I still have to check the authors other stories, and if any of them are stolen too you'll get another message.
Me too. To help me out with that, could you send the message I sent you to as many people as you can? Just copy the message, and paste it, you'll have to change the subject each time, but the more people who know then the more people who can stop this from happening again.
Your welcome.
Please help to remedy this wrong. Thank you.
