News Wall of ShameOnce again, our Wall of Shame feature has come into play, as someone has attempted to submit plagiarized work to the archive.This person not only submitted a word-for-word copy of a fic on the archive, she managed to submit a copy of a fic written for the Cabal member on duty the day the plagiarized work was submitted. This is truly a talent for boneheadedness that takes one's breath away, don't you think? And so goodbye, Envyher. Your account on the archive has been deleted, and you are no longer welcome here. To everyone else, thank you for remembering that there really is nothing to be gained by swiping the works of others. Posted by Mynuet on Nov 29, 2006 07:47 am (14 Comments)
Comments :O That really is shocking... and a bit unlucky but I suppose if you cant write fics of your own then you should just stick to reading them not stealing them espcially when the story is already in the archive.. Aphrodite @ Nov 29, 2006 10:47 am I just don't understand why people plagarize. If you honestly want to write, it's the process you enjoy, not just the recognition, which is obviously what this person was after. Psshht. Some author she was. ThisBurningHeart @ Nov 29, 2006 02:31 pm The fic was already n the archive? Not only was that stealing, it was also dense. Dense dense dense. jii @ Nov 29, 2006 02:38 pm HAHAHAHAHA...I think it is really funny that someone would be that dumb. I would never do that, I repect all of the authors too much. Plus, who wants credit for something they didnt do. CourtneyFaith @ Nov 29, 2006 03:08 pm Yeah, bonehead sums it up. What a loser! dramaqueen872005 @ Nov 29, 2006 03:12 pm SHAME SHAME SHAME! We ought to hit you with a shovel... but we won't... we just won't let you play any more! *blows raspberry* jandjsalmon @ Nov 29, 2006 03:26 pm That was really stupid. The Cabal know the fics that are around, and so why would someone do that? Gods, people can be morons. ContessaNatasha @ Nov 29, 2006 04:48 pm lol So first you read a really good fic. Then you think "Oh, I think I will rip this person off (who is a staff member, right?), and no one will ever know. Then they'll read my stories!" And by the way, screw the consequences. Wow, how could anyone possibly think they could get away with that? Especially when that fic is already on that archive? *shakes head* WolfStar @ Nov 30, 2006 05:09 am OMGOD. *points finger of shame* Who could be so thick as to do that?! Although, it was kinda funny. xD The_Zozzmeister @ Nov 30, 2006 07:03 am I have to say I'm pretty surprised. I haven't even encountered someone quite that stupid. I'll consider myself lucky. alexandriaisariel @ Nov 30, 2006 12:18 pm okay that was weird, why in the hell would you bother! its so much fun writing your own, i do plan to do it someday, i really do, when i have time, i promise lol :) blackmagicwoman @ Dec 01, 2006 11:11 am i dont write, i just read and review...but i mean, come on, who can be that dumb...is said person banned forever...what if they create a new name or whatever...*slaps forhead at their lack of brains* oxymoron8 @ Dec 02, 2006 06:48 pm May I kick them? Angelsea585 @ Dec 03, 2006 01:41 am I find it highly amusing that someone not only took a story and attempted to make it their own but sent it in to the member whom it was written for. Poor sod must be blushing like a prune I know I would I think i'll stick to writing for enjoyment (maybe one day i'll stick it up :S) and reading :] xx anon_ee_moose @ Dec 04, 2006 09:56 am |
