I almost feel bad sporking these kinds of fics because the authors seem so enthusiastic about what they write.

Wait no, I don’t. Aren’t I heartless?

Luffy’s Girl

( Who knew Luffy could be such a creeper? )

I've sporked a story by this particular plagerizing badfic author before, and when I saw another story by him, I was not plesantly surprised. It was an exact replica of One Piece's opening chapters, with barely changed character names, one name even only changing a single letter.
