Summery of the case against Let me fall-Let me break.
This case was reported to us by insatiable_jrt on the 25th feb. A fanfiction user known as Let Me Fall-Let Me Break had plagiarized a number of stories belonging to insatiable_jrt and a few other authors, Let Me Fall-Let Me Break had taked stories from the Nsync fandom and reposted them as High School Musical. I have borrowed insatiable_jrt's coding and screencaps because the stories were pulled down before I could look at them. insatiable_jrt reported back saying that Let Me Fall-Let Me Break had been in contact, apologized and removed the stories.

I googled the remaining stories on Let Me Fall-Let Me Break 's profile and came up with mostly nothing, if they are plagiarized the originals are not posted anywhere google can pick them up. However a google search on the story Calls led me to a livejournal user called alxtrlymdlydply. The story was posted on ff.net as a High School musical FPF fic on 06.06.08, it was then posted to this LJ account as a High Scool Musical RPF fic on 21.06.08. As you can see on the ff,net version the summery at the top of the page lists the characters as Zac and Nikki and then underneath that is a summery listing the characters as Troy and Taylor.
A google search for alxtrlymdlydply led me to her fan history page and as much as it pains me to link to a fan history page I do feel that it is pertinent.
alxtrlymdlydply's fan history page. Following the links at the bottom reveals that alxtrlymdlydply is Let Me Fall-Let Me Break .
I contacted Let Me Fall-Let Me Break though ff.net and livejournal and received no response. A search of the stories on her LJ account yield no results, I can not say for sure that she has plagiarized more stories than she had admitted to.
I will be adding both the Let Me Fall-Let Me Break and alxtrlymdlydply aliases to the list of known plagerists. Thank you to insatiable_jrt for the report and screencaps.
ETA: arouette, whose google-fu is clearly superior to mine, sent me a heads up about some more Let Me Fall-Let Me Break plagiarized. So I did some more digging.

Gaining some control posted by Let Me Fall-Let Me Break on 06/06/2008 (not this is a story she identified as belonging to her cousin) taken from Losing control by EminemsBabycakes. Though the dates on these stories are a little strange, it seems that EminemsBabycakes posted her story months AFTER Let Me Fall-Let Me Break. I am trying to ascertain if the story has been posted anywhere else on line, I am just waiting to here back from EminemsBabycakes.
