Well, I never thought it would happen to me.

I have been plagiarised. Whoo! [/sarcasm]

My story Silence, which was written for SG-1, has been reposted with the names changed as a Torchwood story, Isolation, by wickedplotbunny.

Here is my line by line comparison of the first three or four paragraphs. I didn't have the energy to do more.

Unfortunately, I don't have the original date that my story was ( Read more... )

It appears that she's deleted her LJ account, but if you could send me the screencaps (or links to the caps), I'll do up a summary.

Sorry that you're having to deal with this.

I've updated my original post (with the line by line comparison) with lots of lovely links for you ::g::

I'm fairly philosophical about it. I've been on the 'have to investigate' side of the fence, so thank you for doing this and I figured I'd do as much as possible before contacting you :)

And someone else has, unsurprisingly, found a lot more examples and left a comment on my LJ post to that effect.

Direct link to the comment is here.

Oi. Thank you. I'm going into ljseek right now. I'm finding a few things cached. We'll see what we can at least document so folks who what the original was that the read the variation to.

I thought I recognized that storyline (Silence) when I saw it mentioned somewhere as a plagiarized story. Never did get around to seeking it out, though. I remember reading it on the hc site *ages* ago. It was one of the first SG-1 stories I ever read. ;-)

What an idiot. *sigh* I never will understand why someone would try and claim another's story as their own.

"Watchman" is definitely a Little Danny story, but I can't think which one at the moment. As soon as I know, I will post a link.

Hi,

'Watchman' is most definitely word for word 'Guard', which I wrote for SG1 fandom back in about 2000. I think it own an award of some sort ages ago in the SG fanfic awards.

The funniest part of it all is that it was apparently 'betaed'. Bwah! I guess they checked that the creep who was ripping the story off changed the name Daniel to Ianto.

Corby,

I'm sorry that you're one of the people impacted, but I'm glad someone was able to quickly get you in the loop of what is going on.

I'm going to have to say something now.

I was one of the people that beta'd WPB work - I think I possibly did 'Watchman', but to point out - I'm 16 years old, I'm not in SG fandom, only TW and DW (look at my journal) so how would I know that this was plagerised. She was good at what she did - apparantly, there is a lot of stories plagerised, and what I beta'd was grammer/spelling - no names and such.

So please, do not diss the beta's cos this is not mine (or anybody elses) fault - if WPB decided to plagerise, what has that got to do with the betas who are there to beta the work not have to read through it to make sure it hasn't been plagerised from a fandom they don not even follow

Sorry this turned into rant, but this has p****ed me off no end.

Check ff.net as well to make sure it wasn't crossposted there too.

I PM'ed the actual author on FFN.

Do you happen to know any of the mods? We need their help to crack down on the plagiarists on *their* site.
