Thank you, plagiarism really irritates me whether or not I'm personally involved, so I was very glad to find this community.
And thank you for the complement on my icon. ^___^ I love bettas, and I wish more authors had a good beta, and when I made it I wished I had a beta. So it's a triple pun.
i found this story some time ago, and (being the original writer of what she was copying) i PM'd the author about it. i don't know if it's enough that i was assured she would stop from this point on, but i at least got an apology. i checked the whole story out, and she was actually copying from Greatest American Hero who had copied from me (replacing Sora with Harry). i just checked and it looks like Greatest American Hero's story is gone (i PM'd that person in a fit of rage a few months ago when someone told me about what had happened).
but anyways, i'm glad that this whole thing got reported. i didn't know there was a community that looked out for this! so thanks very much! :D
Hello. That helps to answer the question I emailed to you, as well as explaining the reference in the reviews of PTRA's to it being taken from Greatest American Hero. To double check, GHA plagiarized the story, kept the title, but made it into a Harry Potter fic and then PTRA plagiarized the story from GHA, again keeping the title?
I've sent an email into PTRA and I'm awaiting a response.
yup, that's pretty much how it seemed to have happened. it was a vicious cycle of copying, and i was really angry when i first found out about GHA, especially since someone told me about it a good year or so later. GHA's story has been deleted, so that's good, even though it kinda bugs me that i never got a response from GHA in regards to the PM i sent.
anyways, once again, thanks for all the effort you're putting into this! it's very much appreciated. :)
