what the fuck?

[featherxquill]

So, apparently I have been plagiarised. Or my fandom identity has been stolen. Or something, anyway. I don't even quite know. Someone has posted Educating Rita at AFF, claiming to be me (my old hotmail email address is even listed), but they have a) not asked my permission and b)added their own ending.

I don't even. What the actual fuck.

This has never happened to me before. I don't even know how to go about reporting it. I guess 'Report story' and 'Report Author' is the best place to start, but should I log into my hotmail account and email from there, or what?

I mean, who plagiarises and doesn't even claim the credit for themself? I don't understand.

And that new ending is SHIT. I am insulted that the fic got positive reviews with that ending -_-

I'm rushing off to class now, so this will be quick, but you might try reporting this to the stop_plagiarism comm. They handle cases from all fandoms. You should definitely report the plagiarism to the site managers, but the Stop Plagiarism comm is also good to have --someone takes on your case and approaches the plagiarist, and I think it's good for them to know that people (not just the author) are watching and taking this seriously.

Maybe it was the editor of Cooks Source. You should be thanking her!!

LOL! Maybe she should pay her for the privilege of being plagiarized!

stop_plagiarism is the best and quickest way to get it taken care of, but you should also report it to AFF. At the bottom of the story, there's a link to report abuse.

This just sucks. I hate plagiarizers!

Hi there,

We apologize for this, and you can be certain it will be taken care of ASAP.

Ack! I'm sorry to hear that! As always, I'd follow Kelly, heh. I hope this all gets sorted out! |hugs.|

This is what I just finished doing. Hope this satisfies. We take plagiarism very seriously, and are not tolerant of it.

My apologies to you for this having happened to you.

You are beyond fantastic for resolving this so quickly.

[featherxquill.livejournal.com]

Once again, thanks so much for dealing with this so quickly, and effectively. :)

I'm glad to see it has been taken in hand. How utterly rude!

[therealsnape.livejournal.com]

Well, it seems the mods of the site have taken care of things. Still, it's a shitty thing to happen. My sympathies.

Even when, in a totally unfunny way, it's sort of a compliment, it's a ghastly thing to do.

Lots of hugs.

[addyit.livejournal.com]

LOL the handling of the situation is AWESOME.

[heather.livejournal.com]

Gah, so sorry this happened!

[velmaneuwirth.livejournal.com]

It's great to see that this has been handled now but still...

What the F-ing F?!

Srsly.

(Hehe and I happen to have your Augustine icon uploaded at the mo.)
