Rated MA, by the way.

If our members would be so kind as to submit plagiarism reports to ff.net, it would be greatly appreciated. PLEASE do not take the plagiarist to task in reviews!!!

We don't want it to be seen as the 'Dokuga Posse' taking off after some "poor ignorant" person, do we? We don't want to be bullies!!

Be firm, but be polite, if you choose to confront the plagiarist about this, PLEASE!!

~~Wiccan~~

Yesh!!

It appears gone now, thank goodness!!

Thanks so much for the initial alert, though! It's because of diligent, sharp-eyed readers that we can keep our favorite stories attributed to our fave authors and no one else.

~~Wiccan~~

Hn. What about this one?

www.fanfiction.net/s/8468497/1/A_Stormy_Encounter

anyone recognize it? i read too much so sometimes it all blurs to me. Same Plagiarist.

The story looks familiar, r0o. I can't place it, though.

Was just about to let everyone know it was down, but looks like Wiccan beat me to the punch

Conclusion?: we rock.

I was thinking the same thing. I did a google search with the first paragraph and got The Storm by Keiko. But I have no idea if its the same person.

I found that too. There was another site the story was posted at here...on 2/6/2006.

Aha!! Its from another story on spark.





Guess we need to report this one too.

okay well i found the original author's FFN page, she doesnt have that fic listed there though, www.fanfiction.net/u/473299/Keiko_Yuki but i'm inclined to believe they (the plagiarist and Yuki)are NOT one and the same, though this one, will obviously be a bit harder to prove simply, b/c the original authoress here doesnt seem to be actively posting anywhere. ANY doesnt seem to have this fic on FFN so .... we'll see

Even if it is going to be hard to prove, I did report so it has been brought to the FF.net team's attention.

It IS the same author on FFN as on Spark, cuz they both have "Enemy of My Enemy."


The story ("A Stormy Encounter") is the exact same as the first third of the first chapter of "The Storm" on 'Spark by Keiko Yuki. I suspect our little plagiarist wanted to break it up so it could be posted in many chapters and garner more reviews that way?

Let's get started on this one, guys... but don't mention Dokuga, keep it polite but firm and be sure to report it to FNN using the "Abuse" menu!

~~Wiccan~~

It's down.

This has to be a record.

what a good team we make! 1 hours worth of "work" and two stolen fics pulled down :33333 usually it takes DAYS! *is so proud of all of you!*

Oh Em Gee

This one's gone now too!!!

HOORAY!

Two for two on the kill plagiarism front!

~~me~~

For those who don't know, the person who had those two stories posted on her account claims that her friend used her computer to do so. She has an explanation posted now, and she's PM'd me a couple times... she's very upset that it happened and took them down as soon as she realized what her friend had done.

I truly think that we don't need to be worried that she'll be doing this again.

WHEW!!!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8468778/1/im_am_truelly_deeply_sorry_and_ashamed - for anyone who wants to read her apology

Maybe, since plagiarism did not work to get this person the attention she wanted, she will adopt more positive, less maladaptive methods to feel good. Conceivably, the course of her life could have been changed for the better. It COULD happen...

Don't count on it. She put a third up

I don't read enough IY stuff to know it, so maybe someone else does?

Nah, this is most DEFINITELY her writing. I have enough from the 3 PMs she sent me yesterday to know... grammar, lack of punctuation, jammed up paragraphs... yup, all hers! Srsly, if she ripped it off from someone else, I'd be amazed.

Good to stay on top of it, though!

~~Wiccan~~
PS - I'm NOT trying to get down on her, I'm just pointing out the markers that indicate to me that this is her writing and not copy/pasted from elsewhere.
