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.

Oh my GOD! You were plagiarised! That just stinks! I hate that that happened to you. I guess this chick just up and disappearing is as close to an admission of guilt as there'll ever be...

I just hope she just goes away and doesn't start up again under a new name.

Shannon and I really need to look into putting this case on the Known Plagiarists site.

Despite overwhelming evidence she is, apparently, still refusing to admit what she did and claims that she has never even read any of the fics she stole. *shakes head* Some people! lol

I don't get it. I really don't. And how did she think she was going to get away with ripping off a well-known, highly regarded author like you?

Again, I hate that you had to go through this.
