Broken Promises 22, 133 instances of plagiarism

[roguemudblood]

Yes, I know that number looks unbelievable. But I've spent the last.... 15 hours digging through her 191 posted stories, and that's what I found.

To keep this simple, and not bombard you with links, screens, and what have you, the following links will provide all the details.

Hello, I'll be the moderator working this case.

Owing to the sheer volume of plagiarism allegations please allow a few days for me to get back to you.

Hans, if it is of assistance, am currently investigating the same case over at TaPiR. Will cover first thirty cases if you take the rest. Will save on the double work.

[hanfastolfe]

OK. If you get back to me with your findings I'll prepare the joint "case against..." on this comm.

Hi,

I see you've reviewed most of the fics and left reports. I'm following behind and leaving Guest reviews stating the fic is plagiarized and what the original was, so any that you missed, I'll catch within the hour.

Jeez... could've written a *bunch* of stories in the time it took to do all that.

[hanfastolfe]

I've begun looking at the side-by-sides (briefly for the moment) and it seems that aside from superficial changes to the stories they're basically word-for-word copies. I highly suspect that if I were to pick a random story off the author's profile and Google a phrase from it I'd hit the original fic pretty quickly.

[roguemudblood]

A novel, even. Or two, maybe three? :)

[lindenharp]

I found two anothers -- at least, I didn't see them on your list.

Borracho Amor, a Slam Dunk fanfic in Spanish, seems to be a rewrite of Drunken Love, a Wincest fic in Spanish posted in 2007 on a Supernatural forum. I read enough of both stories to see that they are identical except for the character names. Drunken Love was written by Kitiara. Her profile on the Supernatural forum says that she's on LJ as lazyastaroth.

El Lobo Feroz, a South Park fanfic, seems to be a rewrite of Caperucita Roja, a Bleach fanfic by Usio-Amamiya.

[hanfastolfe]

Thanks for the heads-up! I have screencapped the fics. :)

EDIT: Actually, it looks like RogueMudblood caught at least one of them in her list:

Stolen: El Lobo Feroz
Original: Caperucita Roja by Usio-Amamiya

[roguemudblood]

Yes, thank you!

With the volume I was looking at here, I knew I'd missed some. Thank you for taking the time!

[lazyastaroth]

Hello there.
I am shocked! What can I do about that plagarism? Thank you very much for telling me this. I had no idea.

[queerly_it_is]

Wow someone on my twitter just flagged me down to tell me about this.

I've reported the fic of mine that was plagiarised onto ff.net, thanks for getting on this case guys <3

[roguemudblood]

Sorry for not getting in touch with you directly - this is a rather large lot of authors, and I'm going through so many a day. But I'm very glad that you were notified!

And back to PMs I go. :)

[fromcainwthlove]

unbelievable isn't it? I had really hoped I'd never have to go through this again.

[roguemudblood]

And her fic count is down right now from 191 to 178.

Edit: It appears she may be deleting them herself. She deleted the one I missed, linked above, as well as cases 1-13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 38, 73.
