Huh, where to start...
For a while now in the Supernatural fandom we got to know (and get annoyed by) a few "authors" that kept using the same MO, same posting style, were all friends with each other, commented on each other (using the same commenting style of course) and often similarly written stories, similarly made icons, etc ( Read more... )

I have an ongoing problem with a writer at fanfiction.net. It's not just ideas, but straight copy and pasting my own words and claiming them as her own. I've already approached the writer and reported her to support, but i'm not having any luck.

I'm not sure exactly how to go about reporting this but, Apus and Aquila, chapter 3, copies multiple ( Read more... )

On 27 June 2013, horustheavenger reported that Kimi Chenergy FF# 4775731 had not only plagiarised several fanworks but also assumed the identify of Silvershine, a well-known Naruto author. After being caught out by some crafty investigative work and being reported to TaPiR, Kimi Chenergy removed the offending stories. One story remains on their account, and ( Read more... )

I think K.L. Simpson on Fanfiction.net is a plagiarist.

They've got two published works up, both from 2012. One of them, a Morrowind fic called The Tale of Sudhendra Vahl (screencap), seems to be an exact duplicate of The Tale of Sudhendra Vahl by OverrideB1 on chorrol.com - the story is also available on the forums of that site (link is to ( Read more... )

Once, there was a girl. In 2004, at the tender age of 6 years, she wrote an original story and posted it on Fictionpress.net. Two years later, at age 8, she moved to USA, and posted a fanfic on Fanfiction.net, then moved to Canada 3 months later, where she created yet another FFN account and posted another story ( Read more... )

I had erroneously attributed Broken Promises 22's 71st case to this individual. That case has been updated with the true first author, teddysgirl ( Read more... )

The original report is here.

While I am nominally in charge of writing this up I'd like to stress that while I did look over the screencaps and the LJ comments, credit most certainly given where credit is due...

I'd like to first of all give a big round of applause and congratulations to roguemudblood for being so dedicated to running down all of the ( Read more... )

Yes, I know that number looks unbelievable. But I've spent the last.... 15 hours digging through her 191 posted stories, and that's what I found.

On 19 May, surreysmum reported that her story "Breath of Life" (published in April 2008), which had previously been plagiarised by yayuki, had now shown up in multiple versions on AO3 by a writer called Wisdomofsnow. Her report is here.

I took this case because I had moderated the previous case. A bit of background about that case: I tried to contact yayuki while ( Read more... )
