Plagarists are Evil
So I've been plagarised.
I got a message from a vigilant angel on fanfic.net pointing out that an author called Callidora-Malfoy had published a story called "Taboo" which plagarized my Arthur/Gwen story Impossible. If it was borrowing of the plot, which I'm not going to claim was the most unique plot ever in the world ever, then I wouldn't mind so much. Coincidences happen. Hell, inspiration happens. However, this story was word for word identical, apart from the names. All they had done was swapped the names from "Arthur" and "Guinevere" to "Draco" and "Ginevra". Oh and a mention of Merlin was changed to "Blaise". BLAISE. And they had the gall to put at the end "please let me know if you liked it." It didn't even all make sense, because of the references to Arthur being a prince and Gwen a maid, which didn't translate to Draco and Ginny. It was all just utterly bizarre.
I would link to the offending story, but it looks like its been removed from ff.net already, before I could report it, probably due to the person who informed me of it reporting them. I can't even say that I'm particularly angry at the moment, I'm more stunned that someone actually stole my story.
