The case against Avalonofthewind

[mab_browne]

On 5th January, dreiser reported that their story Bylines and Bracelets had been plagiarised. The original report is here.

I contacted Avalonofthewind via PM on Fanfic.net, but received no response. AvalonoftheWind's story was gone by the time I began investigating, but comparing the screenshots of the opening paragraphs, it would appear that

She isn't even original with her excuses. Seriously, we should just have a numbered list of excuses to save the idiots time. 1. Friend/Cousin/Roommate asked me to post this story. 2. Some scheming hacker made the effort to break into my account and posted this story. 3. The dog ate it.

Wait. That's not it. . .

LOL - now they plagiarize the excuses.

I'm waiting for "My dog hacked my account and posted it."

[amorettea]

Heheh. I like that excuse.

[absofluffiness]

Was racking my brain and realized--you pretty much got the excuses covered :D

[hoshiko_2000]

There is of course the '*THEY* STOLE THAT FROM *ME*!!' excuse. But I've only ever seen someone have the gall (or stupidity) to attempt to use that excuse firsthand on one occassion :/.

Hey, I had a plagiarizer fake they were me. So, it can happen. *Nods* That was not fun at all.

[hoshiko_2000]

Like, actually fake being *you*, or just claim that they *were* you when asked why they had stolen your work 0.0?

[bayliss]

You can read about it here.
Basically, we reported her and she started to claim she was me all over the internet.

:(

Just read that - oh God, that really, really sucks D:. Plaigerism is one thing, but stolen idendity is about a personal as it gets. It was to the level where I would almost call it 'stalking' if it wasn't for the fact that the numerous accounts impersonating you were obviously set up with the aim of 'protecting' the plaigerist's pathetic behind. That must have been pretty damn horrible.

And God, 57 counts of plaigerism D:?! And there I was thinking Polgarawolf held our current record...

[bayliss]

Yeah, it sucked, but it has been taken care of and I'm mostly over it. Not really, I'm still a bit freaked out by it. *sighs*

[hoshiko_2000]

I would be as well :(. That was pretty damn creepy.

[absofluffiness]

I forgot about that one! (bows) I don't know whether to be appalled or... No, I don't admire that. Color me appalled >.
