My Hawaii Five-0 Story has been stolen
In May, I began writing an Hawaii Five-0 big bang entitled 5:59:59. It was posted to the Big Bang community on September 8, 2012.
Here is a screen shot of the post to the Big Bang:
This screencap is a little hard to see since I reduced the size of it. The story was posted at this link: http://hawaii-bigbang.livejournal.com
I also posted this story to AO3 and to Fanfiction.net. And that's where the trouble started. I was alerted yesterday that someone had stolen my story and posted as their own on ff.net.
Here is the beginning of my original story on ff.net, which is located at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8507582/1/5-59-59
I can't post a screencap of chapter 2 of mine as I posted it all as one story - because it was a big bang.
Here is a screencap of the stolen chapter 1 which is posted here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8580775/1/Tick-Tock
Today, she posted chapter 2 which is here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8580775/2/Tick-Tock
She included an author's note that says:
The comments you have all left cleared something up for me. Yes, I might be posting this story after the other 'author' but the truth is, this is MY STORY. I wrote it during the summer before giving it to a 'friend' to look it over whilst I went on a long vacation away. I didn't realize that during that vacation that 'friend' has posted it up. I did not plagiarize anything. I will keep posting the story I work so hard on until someone forces it down with proof.
She is now playing the victim card. A clever defense I suppose. She doesn't say when she supposedly sent it to her 'friend' to have it proofread. Nor does she name her 'friend.' I can assure you that until yesterday, I had never heard of this person and most certainly did not make her acquaintance, agree to proofread her story. Nor did I steal it from her. Just the opposite in fact.
Here is a screenshot of the properties from Microsoft Word from when I started my story - May 22:
Here is a screenshot of my email to my BFF asking her to proof it for me, dated May 24:
And this is a capture of the email I sent to the Big Bang moderators submitting my draft, on June 14, with their acknowledgement on June 18.
I have contacted doobydoodah directly and asked her to remove the story. I have left 2 comments on the stolen story and asked that she remove it. I have contacted the moderators of fanfiction.net twice about this situation. The story is still up.
I would just like to add that I have 76 stories posted on fanfiction.net. Doobydoodah has one and she didn't write it.
If you need any additional information, you can reach me at tkeylasunset@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance.
