For the sake of the records, I came over here based on your icons. I do enjoy actually reading your journal, and would like to stick around even though I'm a git and never comment... lots of personal wank lately, keeping me from reading around much.
I have no problem with people friending me for my icons, it's great to know people like them (even if I haven't posted in ageees...opps). Like I've said I love new friends, although I never know when they want to be friended back (can I friend you back?)
Now this whole plagiarism thing has come up I just want to make sure no ones under the wrong idea of who this LJ belongs to. It's one thing to claim someones icons as your own which is wrong enough, but to claim to BE someone is an entirely different issue.
I have to warn you though... I'm going through some nasty relationship business right now, so I'm doing a LOT of whining and reflecting and other pointless girly crap. I'm NOT always like that, it's just currently the story I can't escape.
And this whole plagiarism thing is just... creepy, really. I mean, it's one thing to steal someone else's work and claim it on a small scale (still very wrong/lazy) but it's really another thing entirely to steal someones work and waive it about publicly, trying to take credit in a fandom based on using characters created by someone else anyway, where you have nothing to gain but popularity.
It really speaks to the mental maturity of this person, especially with the linking back and claiming to be the person they are stealing from.
Balls, I tell you, wickedplotbunny is a huge idiot with gigantic balls, trying to tiptoe through fandom.
I friended you because of your icons, I do believe - well, they are damn cool.
As for plagarists, I can't understand anyone who would use your icons without asking you. I don't change my icons that much and if I do like the look of someone's icons, I'd *always* ask them forst - after all, it's only polite to do so.
I'd be happy to find some Weevils and set them on the plagarist in question if you like.
It's great to know people like my icons. And as soon as my exams are over I had looooads to post.
But it's not just taking my icons without permission, it's taking them and claiming she made them, THEN claiming she's me and linking here to my LJ saying it's hers.
Well until everything is sorted out I've had to flock my LJ, so if you want to be friended back drop me a comment. I haven't yet decided what to do about icons yet, I may be moving to an icon journal. *shrug*
Ack! It's one thing to plagarize your icons but to clain to *be* you!?!? *fumes*
Just so you know, I friended you cause of icons (♥!) but enjoy reading your LJ... though sorry if I don't comment much. RL things (mainly my broken bloody humerus, lol) are kind of slowing me down internet-wise. :D
