An old and odd case of plagiarism

Mar 24, 2013 00:56


This one is ... extremely odd.

Invader Zim Fanatic of Scribd posted at least four stories not belonging to them.

Bella and Jasper's Fling BEFORE the wedding posted 2009-07-12 was originally written and published by nia-ox as Luxuria 2008-03-23.[Screen]



Also taken from nia-ox was Avaritia originally posted 2008-05-05. Invader Zim Fanatic posted it as Bella and Jasper's Fling BEFORE the Wedding Part 2 2009-07-13.[Screen]



Truth or Dare...Cullen Style posted 2009-07-12 was originally written and published by TwihardJess - Truth or Dare Cullen Style 2009-01-11.[Screen]



Then Fate Walked In posted 2009-07-19 was originally written and published by faking the sunset - Then Fate Walked In - 2009-04-19[Screen]




Unfortunately, Scribd has a very specific policy in regards to removing plagiarised works, so I have PM'd the two authors on FFN that have that option available, and left a review for the other on the affected story.



This is where this gets weird.

While I was unable to find matches for every story, it appears that one of the stories posted by Invader Zim Fanatic was plagiarised by 27cowboys
Invader Zim Fanatic uploaded Textually Active on 2009-07-12. 27cowboys uploaded the same: Textually Active on 2010-01-26.

Given that 27cowboys is in the US and Invader Zim Fanatic is in France per their profiles, I'm not of the opinion that they are the same individual. I highly doubt that Textually Active belongs to IZF, but I was unable to find another match for the piece to determine it's original author.[Screens]





Given the oddity here, I did not post this to TaPiR.

Thank you for your time.
