the plagiarism saga continues!
Here's the latest in the nastiness:
I PMed the plagiarist and she replied. I'll let our exchange speak for itself:
"You really had a nerve, plagiarizing my story, "A Writer of Fictions"! Just who the hell do you think you are, stealing somebody else's hard work? You just don't take what belongs to somebody else and claim it as yours! It's ethically really a dirty, disgusting thing to do, and it's also illegal. Did you really think you could get away with this?
You are a thief and a fraud, and everybody in the fandom knows it!"
Her reply:
"I took it down not because of YOU but because it sort of sucked too much to be used anyway.
Also, stop tooting your own horn. You have 14 people who know of it. You dont even know my real username. I will continue to write my stories, and I'll continue to get reviews (even from your own reviewers) and you'll never even know :)
Your stories suck. Especially this one. Just an FYI.
And just letting you and all your followers know, it isn't ILLEGAL to copy a piece of fanfic. The moment you pull out a the bill for it, then you can go around saying that."
I guess I'm not surprised that she is as vindictive as she is. I even hesitated before messaging her, wondering if I would set her off so that she would do it again. Seems to me she's threatening to do just that, under a different user name. I love the line "I'll continue to get reviews (even from your own reviewers) and you'll never even know. :)" Omg, the unmitigated gall of this person!
So my stories suck, huh? They're "crap ass" stories, so she told bambu345. Needless to say, such comments beg the question of why she stole AWOF in the first place. I do worry that she will do it again, though, to another fic of mine and under another user name-- for sheer spite, if for no other reason. I have reported this nasty, arrogant little piece of shit for abuse at FF.net, and I can only hope they will take the appropriate action and ban her forever. But the bitch is sneaky. I would ask everybody to keep their eyes peeled over there just in case she decides to repeat the offense against me or anybody else.
Thanks, guys! You are the BEST!!!!! <3
