what the fuck?

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.
