Plagairism in Doctor Who fandom
On behalf of the original author (who does not have a LiveJournal account), I wanted to report a case of plagiarism of LizzeXX's
stories by The Red Ballerina. Now, I will say that the stories by LizzeXX are rewrites of episodes (and she does disclaim properly); but she has written in a lot of original stuff into her works to make it unique while keeping to the show. It is that original stuff that has been plagiarized.
The originals stories by LizzeXX are: Recuperation, Alone No Longer
Plagiarized version is: The Red Ballerina
I worked with the author to get good screencaps. The Red Ballerina copied everything word for word - except chapter one is completely her own - and she also left the original names of LizzeXX's characters in there sometimes.
Screencaps:

These are just a portion of the evidence that was collected. As stated before, there are also evidence of slip-ups when The Red Ballerina forgot to change the names (Lizze's characters are the Professor and Evy while the Ballerina's OC is Red):
Plagiarized Versions (we highlighted the slips):
A lot of us have reported her to Fanfiction.net - and many of them left some nasty reviews, I'm afraid to say - but I, after consulting the original author, felt that there needed to be more investigation. But by the time this report is posted, the plagiarist has already taken down the story and changed her name to The Brunette Dyed-Black Devil (I mostly know this because when I went to check something, the link is the same be the penname just changed) and she only sent LizzeXX a PM saying that she took the story down but said nothing else and didn't even apologize. Yet the original author asked me to still post this for her so that just in case she tries something like this again, people are aware of it.
If you need some more screencaps, just let me know. We have a lot of them.
