Hello Dokuga!

Unfortunately, its time for us to once again rally and try to stop a plagiarist. This time its a non Inuyasha based story, over at FF.net that is a MA rated story (inappropriately rated M) so NO MINORS. I know everyone wants to help, and rest assured, there will come a time that you'll be able to.

We are being ask to DO NOT REVIEW. Rather, REPORT this, as that is the most sure-fire way to have this situation appropriately handled. And remember, we are not bullies here on Dokuga, so there is no need to even contact this "writer."

All members who are 18 and OVER, please visit the link below, and REPORT this story as a plagiarized work.

Thank you to everyone able, and willing to make a stand.

The Plagiarized Story




The Original Story DO NOT REPORT TO THIS LINK

Personally I wouldnt be suprised if authors just started pulling their stories from ff.net for plagirism.

i reported this a few days ago. ffn is not awesome about getting on the ball.

Which story does this one plagiarizes? I would like to see the original one before reporting.

Thanks, and I'm sorry to see this happening. It's really sad.

here is the original link and it's MA ONLY!
bleach.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600010603
it's a direct copy and paste job of the original
considering her profile statement, she's well aware of what she did.
the mods on AFF have been contacted by the original author and have talked to her so we can assure you that it's not the same being.

This is something I'm learning about them, too. It unfortunately takes power in numbers to get their attention.

I can't believe the nerve of that person. I scrolled through the reviews very briefly and all of them have been able to identify the original author of the story, thus, pointing out that she had stolen the story and is claiming it as her own. Yet, she continues to post chapters!

Well... Consider her reported!

Reported. I feel sick, after reading all the reviews to the story, begging and ordering her to take it down, and she's just ignoring them with arrogance and entitlement.

Wow her profile statement honestly makes me dislike her, which I would have on principle in the first place for having plagiarized. Authors have reasons for not posting on certain sites!

This author says the original author of the story is selfish and doesnt want to post it on FFnet. That's why she posted it. That's on the profile.

Still, I find that to be EXTREMELY rude. I have stories in Dokuga, that are just for Dokuga. The nerve...

wow you're right Danyealla, she's definitely aware of what she's doing. Consider her reported from my end!

I saw that too! Ridiculous! As if that completely justifies the fact that she stole someone's story....

and honestly- there isisnt supposed to be any MA rated stories on FF.net anyways- if you can report the chick twice...

once for using someone elses work... and a second time for somethign that is above the ratings...

Good idea. Just did so.

Reported. Wow this actually made me log into my ff.net account. Haven't touched it in years.

Wow this person has nerve and what she has done is just down right rude. Thank you for making me aware of this situation because I have been keeping up with the original story and it makes me upset that someone would take the original writer's work and defile it like that.

Reported- for both reasons.

I would love to comment on this mess, but there's no way for me to do so without going off, so out of respect for our site's anti-ranting stance(*cough* and rules *cough*), I am going to refrain from that.

What I can say in a level tone is that this person's behavior does make me angry and disappointed. I'm also greatly disappointed that ff.net's admins have failed to act after a near-month of this atrocity being reported, repeatedly, according to what reviews have been left for the stolen piece (I mean, they're usually kind of lax, we are all too familiar with this fact, but you'd figure after a while they'd at least get sick of hearing about it and do something if only to not have to keep getting pestered).

That this has gone on for so long had me considering, in a spur of the moment thought, taking down everything I have posted there- like a personal boycott- but even with this I'm reluctant to do so (at least not without advance notice or something) because many of my readers from that site are amazing people and it wouldn't be fair to them.

Reported, for both.

Ugh! Reported twice! I understand that the reviewers were bringing this topic up, but unless they reported as well as review, I do not think it mattered. T_T It is sad to see the reviews. I am shocked that the author even posted that bold of a statement on her profile page! It is almost as if she has a vendetta with the original author. >.> Writer envy. Please take this down ff.net.

Reported for both!

I also reported it for both plagiarism and rating.

I think with the help of our brothers and sisters on AFF all of us will eventually get this story taken down. Thank you all for being a part of this.

And I completely agree with you Freya. Its upsetting on a major scale, that the admins haven't done anything yet. I can only hope its because they are exceptionally busy and it just hasn't been gotten to yet, but I somehow doubt that is the issue.

Mmm-hmm. What I meant was that according to the majority of the reviews, everyone that understood it to be a plagiarized work said they were reporting this person, and when I looked at the dates these reviews began in the first week of September- not sure off the top of my head if that was when the person initially posted to story to ff.net, but I'm going to guess it's probably pretty darned close :/. What I felt bad for was the two or three reviews clearly left by readers that had no idea that it was a stolen work, asking for updates and wondering why the story- and I'm quoting here- didn't have more reviews.

I felt like this too Freya, BUT, let's think about it this way. How many FFnet are dokugans? So...if you have a story here...and someone takes it an posts it in FFnet...who can tell and warn you if not only a fellow dokugan who knows this is your story and it's in this site? So... I guess...but of course, I'm not a 100% sure, that if you have the story at FFnet...and someone posts the same story a year later there will be some who will remember the story was originally someone elses. Right? I have been a reader, lurker for seven years...and I'm sure I would have done something if I found that to be the case =]

Think about it, and well, do as you think is best. =]

I tried reporting this story but I keep getting the message 'invalid image code' when I entered it correctly. Such a shame that a good story was stolen and the 'author' justifies doing so. Hope anyone else has better luck reporting it.

Reported for both.
