Plagiarism in Glee Fandom

[slayerkitty]

Hi,

My Glee/Klaine fanfiction, An Accidental Chance has been plagiarised on FF.net. I started posting my story on LJ in December 2011 and at the link above in January. The poster xbeckyx2009x is posting my story under almost the exact same title, with an identical summary, here. Her fic went up recently. While it is not word for word (she has

Hi! My name is Synful Trixxie and I will be your mod. If you could post a screen cap of the fic in question just in case the person on fanfiction.net takes it down, I would appreciate it.

Here, I grabbed a few comparison shots of just the first chapter.

Not quite a word for word plagiarism, but pretty close.

Thank you so much for this (I was sleeping, LOL).

No problem, I was pretty much in shock when I saw this.

Wow. About nine pages of reviews telling the author that they have plagiarized a fic (and more reviews that, apparently, were deleted). You certainly have supporters!

[slayerkitty]

I do, which is incredibly shocking. I never expected that, lol. It's been amazing to see.

Wow, I really hope this gets resolved.

Looks like the story was deleted at least the last time I checked.

It's down! I was reading the reviews and all of a sudden... no page 3. It's gone!

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's incredibly frustrating to be plagiarized. I have to say FF.net is THE worst. It seems like everyone gets pilfered there. I don't publish there for just that reason. Best of luck with this!

Well, the fic was taken down, so that's something. I have an account there, but the fic I posted about wasn't actually being posted there. Thanks!

Well damn! That just sucks extra big. I will avoid FF like the plague from now on. Yikes.
