mare:
Just thought I'd open a thread if anyone wanted to comment on the plaigerizing thing. it's funny because I said to Julilly how surprised I was that no one was commenting on it not realizing that the thread was locked lol so, there ya go. Not that there's all that much to
Say :/

Sakabelle:
I got a lot of my bitching about it out on twitter! lol

FrickingKaos:
I vented a bit on twitter as well, but I told my friend about the plagiarism and she was shocked. She was reading the story....she's one of those people who reads and doesn't review. But she was upset when she found out the girl has copied the story word for word. I am appalled people even do this because (not to say writing fanfic is easy) but if you have an imagination, there is no reason why someone couldn't make up their own. Stealing in any shape or form to me is wrong.

RokofAges75:
I can't believe people still do this... especially here, when we've made such a huge deal about it before.  I really don't understand it.  I can understand how laziness and lack of creativity/work ethic could prompt someone to steal someone else's story rather than write their own, but I don't understand how anyone could think that's okay or feel any sort of pride in the reviews they receive for a story someone else wrote.  The whole thing is just appalling.  I'm glad she was caught, and I hope people who enjoyed the stories will take a moment to let the real writers know and continue to follow them on Fictionpress.

Sakabelle:
I saw that one of the original authors took her story down off fictionpress because of this. Really sad that being of morons like this, things like that have to happen. I'd be so angry if anyone ever ripped my stuff off like that. What do you get out of getting reviews for something you didn't write? Oooh yay, you learned how to use find/replace! Congratulation s!
