Part of UD Plagiarized on FF.N & AO3!!!

May 05, 2011 19:50

It has just been brought to my attention by a reviewer that the beginning of chapter 70 of Unexpected Destinies has been plagiarized by the author Namikazekamui over at fanfiction.net & Archive of our Own.

Look back at the beginning of chapter 70 and then compare it to the start of her chapter 16. Now replace Dean with Harrison and angel with ( Read more... )

OK, so this person is on LJ too: http://namikazekamui.livejournal.com/profile/

And they are friends with me. I'm wondering if I should read through all their stuff and see if they plagarized me too. It looks like they are already getting called out on it, but I feel so incredibly uncomfortable having this person on my friends list. Wish I could kick them off. :/

I saw some of my friends were listed on her profile as well, I let them know. I can't believe someone would do this?
It's not like anyone makes money or anything and stealing credit for someone's hard work is the lowest >:(

I tried skimming through that fic to see if my work or anyone else who I read got dinged in it too, but it was really long and garbled (probably from copy&pasting so many people) and I don't have time for it. Gah, this is frustrating.

It pisses me off so much when people plagiarize because really, what's the point? When people compliment it, they aren't complimenting you. They are complimenting the original author, so why bother fishing for compliments with some else's work? I just... I don't get it. How does it make them feel better? They know they didn't write it, so why? ARGH.

Well shirley_007 noticed that she stole from meh_forget_it too and I let heavenreturned know too as she was listed as a friend on her LJ profile as well.

So plagiarizer is banned from the Dean/Gabriel community even is she did not post there, but still... just on principle y'know.

And that's what I don't understand either! Why steal?? I took a look at her FF.n bio, she doesn't speak English really well.
Someone must be really sad to fish for compliments like this *sigh*

Really? Well I'd tell them to look at the second version of the fic and if that stuff's still in there, have them complain to the author about it and put in more abuse tickets! And perhaps it's time to report her to that stop plagiarism comm. She's had her chance and if she didn't clean up her act entirely, then I say no more chances.

hopefully she removed everything that didn't belong to her. And yes definitely a report is in order is she kept those parts.

I know! What's the point in doing this? You'll always know that people are complimenting someone else's work!

Thanks for pointing that out to me, I'd missed that part and yes, I see now that's she's listed me as a friend as well. I know what you mean about being unsure as to whether or not to read it, I'm feeling the same way about the second version of her fic, but I think I will. Not knowing will just bug me and drive me crazy!
And if you ever figure a way to kick her off, let me know!
