Wow. I'm even more convinced these plagiarism claims are CRAP.
So, I'm sitting here in class, really bored. So, I decided to mess around with this, what's going on.
spiletta42 has been accused of plagiarism, so I decided see if I could figure anything out for myself. I'd been reading spiletta's fic since before I joined lj.
(Edit: The page with the story in question on
stop_plagiarism has award badges from 2004!!! I'm more and more convinced that this is a witch hunt.)
1) I found this story by
spiletta42 on a third-party fic site (NOT spiletta42's website)
Kite String =
http://www.kennedyfanfic.com/fanfic/story.php?no=1617According to the Website, it was published on 2007-04-14
1A) I found this story posted on
ellecrossing by the person who claims to be "plagerized"
Vampires Kissed =

http://community.livejournal.com/heroes_femslash/30384.html#cutid1This was posted to the website on November 4th, 2008. It has the first line, last line, and a few random phrases I checked EXACTLY the same.
2) Another story pointed out to me by
rhyana spiletta42's "Badfic!Pete and the Temple of Doom" found here:
http://www.spiletta.com/petetemple.html (copyrighted Jan 2007 on the bottom of the webpage)
Which she used the first line for a meme on August 25th, 2008:

torchwood_fic as "Torchwood SG-1.":

Posted on November 1st, 2008. Once again, I did a random content analysis, and found that spiletta's story is actually longer.
I too think
spiletta42 has been plagiarized, and I think
furqueen96 just deleted my comments on this post in
stop_plagiarism . Should I send a private message to the mod in charge of this case?
In conclusion, I am firmly in spiletta's column. These accusations are false, and it's a damn shame. I feel like putting all of this in a message to
furqueen96 but am not sure if I'm brave enough to deal with it....(Maybe if I get some nudging from my friends....)

Edit:
And now furqueen has posted another entry on a Stargate fandom site that I frequent, even being warned that he/she shouldn't do that
