The Case Against xTrunksloverx3

Jan 18, 2011 14:51

On 25 December 2010, gw_shenlong reported that xTrunksloverx3 had plagiarized five stories: Kindred Spirits, The Santa Clause, Play With Me, Caught in the Act, and Once So Blue.

Kindred Spirits

It appears as though xTrunksloverx3 copied Kindred Spirits almost word for word.




Although xTrunksloverx3 added some text, the bulk of the story has been copy-pasted.

The Santa Clause

The similarities are just as pronounced with The Santa Clause. Once again, it's almost entirely a word-for-word copy-paste job, as you can see from the first few paragraphs.




Play With Me

Play With Me is another matter. While similar to gw_shenlong's story, such as the general set-up and circumstances, it is not a word-for-word copy, and (if you'll pardon my bluntness) the sex acts are different.







I do not believe that xTrunksloverx3 plagiarized gw_shenlong in this instance.

Caught in the Act

Caught in the Act is another instance of copy-pasting, as you can see from the first few paragraphs in the screencap below.







Caught in the Act was plagiarized by xTrunksloverx3.

Once So Blue

Once So Blue, originally written by Lynx the Tormentor, was copied word-for-word by xTrunksloverx3. Other than the additional underlining, the stories are exactly the same:







I contacted xTrunksloverx3, but did not receive a reply, and the stories remain online. Although one of the five stories was not similar enough to constitute plagiarism, the other four were copy-pasted. xTrunksloverx3 will be added to the list of known plagiarists.

ETA: My apologies for the html problems. They should be fixed now.
