Possible Plagiarism in BTVS/ATS Fandom
This isn't a report as much as a plea for help to make a report. I don't know if this is a clear cut plagarism case but orbofthesulah looks like she has been 'inspired' by some writers, even going so far as to take lines and ideas from their fics:
Her version: http://orbofthesulah.livejournal.com/25188.html
Original by queen_mecha: http://community.livejournal.com/phaedras_love/12508.html
Screencaps in case she deletes the story: One, Two, Three,
Original screencaps: One, Two, Three Four, Five, Six Seven, Eight
I sent a PM to queen_mecha but it doesn't look like they have been on LJ since 2007. I don't think they are the same author because of the different writing styles but I contacted queen_mecha any way to be sure. No response yet.
I think she might have also plagarized x_spikeaholic_x due to comments that were deleted on this entry: http://orbofthesulah.livejournal.com/17460.html (She credits Spikeaholic later)
orbofthesulah's grammar/spelling ranges so wildly on her fanfics, it looks like others might be plagarized but I'm not sure how to go about figuring out if more of them are. Is there anyone out there in the Spike/Faith, Angel/Faith, Angel/Spike/Faith circles that could help me in identifying more of them?
ETA: queen_mecha responded to me and she is NOT orbofthesulah
