Serial plagiarism is bad

[tsaiko]

Dear serial plagiarist,

I hate to inform you, but people from one fandom do read other fandoms. Changing the names of characters and deleting random lines of the fics and then posting them as your own does not work. People will notice. And when you do it to someone on my friend's list, you get me and my ninja google-fu skills involved. So far lines from 15 out of the first 20 of your fics have caused Google to cough up other fics by a variety of authors. A quick read through reveals remarkable similarities. Amazing!

FF.Net and the authors have been notified. I'm still going through the 48 fics you have listed and reporting. Good luck in ever being part of fandom with that user name again.

Hugs and kisses,
Tsaiko

Good on you! Have you thought about notifying stop_plagiarism as well?

I hadn't even realized that community existed. Although looking at it, reporting seems like a lot of work. I think I'll stick with reporting it to FF.net and the authors and see if they want to do it.
