Plagiarism
I stumbled across this "author" early this morning and was surprised to see that the first paragraph of one of his stories is the exact wording of the first paragraph of one of my stories. This was on fanfiction.net
His penname is David Fishwick
A link to his badly mangled version of one of my first attempts at fanfiction: Final Battle Notice that he published this story on 03-20-08
And the link to my story: A Perfect Fit Notice that I began publishing mine on 09-17-07 and my last update was 12-11-07
Basically, he's stolen my words and ideas and twisted some of my words so badly that it's doubly annoying. My story wasn't all that good (It was my first try at fanfiction), so I have no idea why he'd want to plagiarize it and then make it worse?
I've made no contact with this "author". I'm sure he can be contacted through his profile on ff.net. I can be reached through the my profile here at LJ.
screencaps, just in case he pulls his version, are in the cut.
