Looks like it's plagiarist season!

Thanks to http://greenapple.insanejournal.com/ for spotting this, and to raemcn for letting me know (and for taking all the screencaps for stop_plagiarism)!

Someone by the name of magickboxgirl has been having some fun. It seems she's plagiarised at least 3 authors, Pattyanne, hollydb and me, and as she's since deleted her journal I guess there's no way of knowing if there are more.

'Her story' posted March 2008 ( http://community.livejournal.com/tin_and_jewels/56784.html#cutid1 ) and my fic To Sin--Divine! written 3 years earlier-March 2005 ( http://www.axisoflove.org/Spike/to_sin.html ) Obviously there some changes to make it fit into the other fandom, but for the most part it is the same.

I just don't understand what is in the heads when they do this. And apparently she was pretty well known in that fandom. There was even a post in her journal where she completely ranted about someone who reviewed one of the plagairaized fics and told her that she had no clue about the characters she was writing. And she was really angry about the comment. o_0

There is one other that I know is cannibilized from a Spuffy fic and it is driving me nuts. Do you recognize this?

I'm putting a link so I don't sully your journal.

No, I don't recognise it but it certainly reads like something that could soooo easily have started its life as a Spuffy fic, doesn't it?

There were a couple of 'her fics' that really rang a bell, but I googled like mad and didn't come up with any matches *sigh*

I know! And I have never visited her site or her comminuties. So I know I haven't seen them before. But I know I've read those before. I know it!
