On November 4, 2011,
fairaday reported that
sparky1205 had plagiarized several of
runninequalslife's stories. Screencaps can be found in
the original post, but it is clear that
sparky1205's stories are a word-for-word copy with only the names changed.
I contacted both runninequalslife and
sparky1205. While I have not heard from runninequalslife, I received the following message from
sparky1205:
"Hi, thank you for giving me an opportunity to explain.
I'm not going to lie, the stories what I have posted are runninequalslife just with different characters. I am sorry for what I have done and wish to make amends. I have taken down and deleted everything what I have posted that belong to runninequalslife and sent an apology to her, asking for forgiveness and if there is anything I can do to make it up to her. This will never happen again and I fully accept the consequences for my actions.
I am sorry for the problems I have cause and I wish to move pass this as quick as possible. If you have any questions for me or anything that will help move this along quicker please let me know, i will answer them the best i can.
Sparky1205"
Based on the evidence and this response, I will be adding
sparky1205 to the list of known plagiarists.
