Case against Edstyless
On August 7th, 2012 gajastar reported plagiarism in the Tokio Hotel and One Direction fandoms here.
The story ' Affairs of Dragons' by Kishmet was originally written in the Tokio Hotel fandom in August of 2010 and this story has been changed to the One Direction fandom by 'Edstyless' and posted to Tumblr on July 14th, 2012 and to OneDirectionFanFiction.com on August 6th, 2012. At the beginning of the plagiarised story 'Edstyless' states that someone had stolen their story from tumblr and posted it as their own here
on OneDirectionFanfic.com.
The story by 'Edstyless' has since been removed but the screen caps provided by gajastar show it was a word for word copy with only the names altered.
The user profile on OneDirectionFanFiction.com of Edstyless is still active and simply states "Only made this because someone was stealing my story. Yes I am really angry atm". The Tumblr of Edstyless is now blank.
Edstyless has clearly copied this story and will be added to the list of known plagiarists.
