Repeat Offender - sailor-duel-racer-armista
I been going through the old cases because since I learned about stop_plagiarism about three months ago. When I got tomasterofthepen post in 2009, I knew that the story Oban Star Racers and the name Sailor-duel-racer-armista sounded familiar.
When I looked at her profile, I realized she was someone that a friend was complaining about copying his favorite author.
She what appeared have several stories up not her own.
Screencap of her file (slightly edited to hide my other tabs):
Through she 'gave' credit in Oban Starracers's summary, I believe she didn't get any permission to repost that story. I checked Oban Starracers to see it was the story from the original report. Since the screen caps of the original reports were still useable, I didn't take any screen shots of it.
I then tried to track down Armista L.Shelton to ask her if she gave permission to have sailor-duel-racer-armista reposted her story. I couldn't find Armista L. Shelton nor her stories. Then I realized that Armista was her name and she 'evolved' the stories. (Which made me feel really dumb at first.). Since I'm not much of an Yugioh or Transformers reader, I couldn't locate the original stories she evolved from.
Then I checked osr. To my surprise, I read the first chapter before. In fact today. osr is just a copy of masterofthepen story OSR Season 2: A Shining Tomorrow with the chapters separated differently.

Screen Caps - osr:
Chapter One
Chapter Two (which starts in the second chapter 1):
I sent a message to masterofthepen via ff.net, and left a review on Oban Starracers.
The original report was here.
The decision was here.
