Announcement
It's with a heavy heart that I write this because the person involved is someone for whom I used to have a lot of respect.
We have to take down day 3 of Week in the Life because WickedWitch81 plagiarized her day. We're going to leave it up for the time being so everyone can see for themselves, but we will be removing it entirely in one week. It will be replaced with a summary of what happened so the switch from day 2 to day 4 won't be so confusing.
She lifted her entire chapter from Married to the Viscount by Sabrina Jeffries, word-for-word. Here are two scans from the book, which match parts of her chapter verbatim.

Scan 2
I hate to write this, but I'd call anyone out who plagiarized... and
in my opinion, this is no different.
Please don't hold this against any of the other writers. We had no
idea she did this until someone from LJ notified us about it earlier
today. On behalf of the other participants, I'd like to apologize to everyone. We're just as shocked and confused as you are.
Thanks.
