Plagiarism in the BTVS fandom

Apr 01, 2011 12:07

Yesterday, I went to fanfiction.net and found one of my all-time favorite stories - Friendship Building (part of the Abracadabra Series) by sabershadowkat - posted by someone who was not the original author. The original author has their own account there and, since the person posting this work claimed they were still in the process of writing it, I knew for a ( Read more... )

Hi, I'm GreenSquiggly and I'll be the mod on this case. Could you please put the screen shots behind a cut? Thanks in advanced.

Yeah, came here to say this.

velvetwhip April 6 2011, 05:12:22 UTC

Done. Sorry!

It's quite all right =) I hadn't noticed it wasn't cut until after I approved, lol.

Also, apologies for the delay. LJ's random downtime is the reason for that.

Omg, why didn't she rip off the Mona Lisa or 'Crazy Stairs' because either of those are just as well known for W/A shippers as Sabershadowkat. Her fics are up there with Carrie's Take Your Time and Velvetwhip's stuff in the pantheon of Willow/Angel shippage. How stupid can you get?

*blushes* Thanks for including me with legends like Saber and Carrie.

I recognized Saber's fic the moment I read the first line. The Abracadabra Series is an absolute classic!

Oh, girl, you deserve it and the fic list to prove it.

It really is. Saber produced a few classics that is for sure. Though, all this plagerist has done has made me want to go and re-read the fics.

velvetwhip April 7 2011, 02:12:54 UTC

Me, too. I just reread Abracadabra and The Magic of Computers.

What's sad to me is that Saber's been out of the fandom for so long that a lot of newer fans wouldn't have caught this. Jeez, back in the day she was one of the most popular and prolific writers. I have most of her fic saved on my harddrive so I can read them over and over. Literally hundreds of stories. She wasn't just known for W/A but was prolific and popular for her Buffy/Spike and Spike/Angel stories as well.

Gah!

staringiscaring April 7 2011, 00:21:52 UTC

True. I hadn't even thought of that.

velvetwhip April 7 2011, 00:25:34 UTC

I think it's sad that some people have never seen her fic. It's really swell.
