Plagiarist found on FF.net

Mar 19, 2011 09:28

A person calling themselves RealNCISauthor (of all things!) not only stole four stories by well-known authors in the NCIS fandom, but actually accused them of stealing the stories in the first place. (See screencap of FF.net profile page http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2793774/RealNCISauthor below.)

Thank you for reporting this. Something about the bio seems familiar to me, but I can't quite place it. I wonder if this person has done this before under a different name.

This sort of thing just really riles me up. I've been plagiarized in the past (in the X Files fandom) so I know how hurt and enraged you feel. It's just...argh!

See, thing is, I can count on one hand the stories by other authors that I would kill to have written myself--and "Worthy" is one of them. But I would never steal someone else's work like that! (And then accuse them of stealing from me. *boggles* Especially in this close-knit fandom. From well known authors, no less! *boggles some more*)

I have no clue who the person is, but I'd say it's a safe bet that, when your bio page is totes writed liek 4 ppl who want 2 read slash but think kink is 4 pervs 'n stuff, nobody in their right mind is going to believe that you can actually produce well written fic. Ya know? *snerk* (Not to mention the fact that stealing from well known kink writers kinda defeats the purpose of bashing kink!fic lovers...)

ROTFLMAO! I KNOW!

And yeah, whoever she is does seem to have some issues with not only slash but kink. And yet steals both. Too, too, whacko.

I'm not the mod on this case, but if you look down one (Foxie/Lazybones) it started out the same way. We rarely get cases like this, where the fact we had two in a *row* is very odd. Although the grammar is different (that is how I caught her) the 'blaming of the real authors' along with the 'kink shaming' is similar. I also think the 'real bayliss' case would be along the same lines too.

Interesting. And really, really stupid. LOL!!! Why would you claim a fic that contains things you feel should be shamed? :-) Guess she'll get really pissed off when I get my BDSM dubcon fic done. LOL!

Fortunately, folks in this fandom have really pulled together on this.I think she'll find herself up against a brick wall if she keeps on.

It's possible, though, that this was targeted at the four of us. This might be a copycat.

I love how you mentioned Foxie, because in one of the reviews for the most recently stolen works, a 'reviewer' commented this and it just made me laugh, because I thought the very same thing.

"Congratulations, Foxie! I see your at it again! Couldn't stand not being the center of attention, could you?"

Where are all these plagiarists popping up from? This was never a problem few years back...

Thanks for taking this on. How bizarre!
