Report of plagiarism on She-had-a-chance

I have been plagiarized by someone called she-had-a-chance.

My original story, "Belle de Jour," posted here at LiveJournal (and a few days later at A Teaspoon and An Open Mind) a year ago ( Read more... )

I've made screencaps and sent her an email.

If anyone recognizes any of her other stories as having been written by another, please let me know in this thread.

she-had-a-chance's story Need http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3896976/1/need

Is identical to wired-lizard's story Need (Illegitimate) http://wired-lizard.livejournal.com/325601.html

That's the first story I checked. I'll have a look at the others.

Thank you for your help. I've made a screencap of her FFN story. It will likely be a while before I will have a chance to follow up with the original author, but I will do so.

Wow!

After reading her bio page and then glancing at her other stories, my guess is she probably didn't write any of them. (Well, maybe 'The Doctor's Love Interests'.)

Sorry this happened to you, Chase.

Thanks, hon. It's weirdly comforted to know I wasn't the only one she stole from, though I'm also angry on behalf of all the other victimized authors.

Thank you for your help. And for screencapping. Sometimes things disappear amazingly fast. I've made a screencap of her FFN story. It will likely be a while before I will have a chance to follow up with the original author, but I will do so.

Thank you for your help. I've made note of it. It doesn't' appear that she has any stories directly listed there. Have they been removed or did she just have a basic profile with the link to her FFN account?

It was just a basic profile when I found it. There are pretty strict rules for plagiarizing on that site, though. And she may be using it to read.

Thanks for the update. Eventually I'll get in touch with the Teaspoon mods as well, given that it's likely she found at least one of the stories there.

Looks like she's taken a bunch down and is claiming someone else gave her the stories to post.

I find it interesting that she's so hurt by the nasty comments on her spelling, when she claims all the badly spelled stories belonged to her friend.

Anyway, it's all lies. In the author notes to the story she ripped off from me, she claimed to have written the last third of the story.

Clearly, this chick has issues. But the story has been taken down and that's enough for me--I'm not even expecting an apology, since she obviously doesn't think she did anything wrong.

*Sigh*
