[AO3] plagiarism | "tell 'em all I said hi, have a nice day..."

Jun 09, 2018 12:36

Hello, hello, anyone who might still be here! I have been disgustingly AWOL and even now am really only popping back for advice, which is incredibly presumptuous of me, but if anyone's going to be able to answer my questions, then it's LJ people!

I've discovered that a person on AO3 has plagiarised a heap of my Grey's Anatomy and Rookie Blue fics. I lodged an abuse report 2 weeks ago and have not heard anything back yet from AO3 (which is fine, I realise they're no doubt flat out!). But I just had another read through the FAQs and discovered it encourages people to try and sort out any issues themselves first, which I have not attempted to do.

Does anyone have any experience with fanfic plagiarism and how best to deal with it? I would very much appreciate the help!

In other news, I have my first proper lot of Medical School exams in three days (which is probably, at least partly, why I'm obsessing/procrastinating with this plagiarism thing!). Most of my classmates are literally half my age, but it hasn't been an issue and I've made some awesome friends. I see 21st birthday parties in my future (again)!
