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.

true story, I once saw someone post an actually published Angel novel on ff.net. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to type in an actual novel aimed at the fans of the fandom you're posting it in?

That is absolutely INSANE! How can these people possibly think they won't get caught?
