Plagiarized.

[icarus]

I've been plagiarized.

Skinny Dipping has been ripped off and posted on Fanfiction.net.

My story, Skinny Dipping, Harry/Percy, was written in 2003. So far as I can tell Cedric17 didn't change a word.

The reason I'd never posted it at Fanfiction.net is that the story is NC-17, violates the TOU, and it even includes underaged sex. Harry is 14 and Percy is 18.

What an S.O.B.

Thank you to Miranda who brought this to my attention.




ETA: I bet they thought they could get away with this because it's a lesser-known story, having had less play because of the chan issue.

I did a abuse report. I know I would be all kinds of furious if I found something of mine, posted by someone who wasn't me.

I'm sorry I can't do anything more.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I want the story taken down, yesterday. No. Two weeks ago.

They've had the story up since July 11th, though I'm glad to see that they don't have any reviews besides people pointing out that it's stolen. I wonder what other stories they've stolen under other names.

I should probably be more pissed off than I am, but I know how good ff.net is about pulling stories down. For once that's going to be a good thing.

I want this twit thrashed. >:D

Dumb asses.

Thank you. I'm so glad Miranda recognized it, so very glad.

*cuts a switch for the plagiarist*

I also submitted an abuse report. It should be off ff.net right quick. scumsucking slimebag.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Scumsucking bottom-dweller, no shit.

I've been waiting for this. I had feeling it was going to happen sooner or later, because so many of my friends have been plagiarized. I'm surprised it was Skinning Dipping of all things. But I've noticed that's what they pick: stories that are obscure enough they might just get away with it.

I wonder what else has been stolen.

What a dipshit. They didn't even change the title.

I really don't understand the point of plagiarizing. You get comments, but there's no way anyone could delude himself into thinking he deserves them. So sorry this happened to you. :( I submitted a report as well, as the noisiest wheel gets the fastest attention. xD

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I want to hammer this asshole.

You get comments, but there's no way anyone could delude himself into thinking he deserves them.

When I was in high school I knew someone who liked to lie. He'd lie to his friends and try to do it so convincingly that they couldn't tell. Then he'd laugh. He enjoyed it. It gave him a sense of power and superiority over the people he fooled.

I told one of my friend's mom that he had a fundamental problem with his ethics and that I thought he'd get in serious trouble one day, because he didn't care about right and wrong, not even where it concerned his friends. It wasn't three years later that he was in trouble with the police.

That's so... krh. I hate plagiarism. Especially when it hits someone I know. I haven't read the fic yet, but I'm going to when I get time.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I want that story taken down, now. Fanfiction.net has always been quick to delete stories for TOU violations, without a hearing, what's taking them so long, eh?

In this scarily positively nice mood I am in at the moment (poke me this weekend - should be around - and will explain it) while being angry on your behalf, I kind of feel sorry for the idiot who posted it. Quite sad to know that you are so terrible that you have to rip off somoene who writes so brilliantly (there see = some fangirling!). Just, its a loose loose scenario - this person has stuck the fic up there in a blatant call for feedback. If they get the feedback they require - it must be a bitter pill as its not even their work, and if they don't - well, imagine how pathetic you would feel if you're so unknown that you plagarise one of the best, and you STILL don't manange to get any attention!

Hope al is well with you sweetheart!

lose lose scenario. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DO THINGS WHEN I JUST HAVE WOKEN UP

[flamesword.livejournal.com]

Hmmm what amuses me is the summary. It sounds like a rec, not notes about their own supposed work.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I noticed that. It's rather odd.

Anyway, I'm hoping as many people as possible send ff.net an abuse report because the only solution is to take that story down.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Seeing them slammed for them makes me happy. What on earth is taking ff.net so long to remove this story?

Icarus

[nufaciel.livejournal.com]

Well, that does suck monkeyballs.

It's that time of the week again. Yay! Need it? Wanna try smaller files this time? Like 15-20 mb.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Let me run it by wildernessguru. He complained up a storm last week for "taking over the computer" though he was happy enough to watch the ep with me. I posted your hard work at dialup_friendly and stargate_eps but no one took me up on them (or at least no one commented), so it turns out it was just for me rather for lots and lots of people. This is a lot to ask of you I think.

Icarus

[dphearson.livejournal.com]

Whaddaya mean, lesser known story? I remeber that story distinctly, because of playfulness and use of pond slime!

And as for FF.net....Just bad!

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It's just one of the few that couldn't go up on RS.org because Harry's 14 in it.

I want hammer this person into the ground like a tent-peg. Anyone who's willing to report the abuse, I'd really appreciate it.

Icarus

[lillian78.livejournal.com]

I can only hope that they're an immature teenager looking for attention rather than an adult who knows better! *fumes on your behalf*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I saw your review to them and I appreciate it. I've sent ff.net an TOS abuse form and would appreciate any and all to do the same.

Icarus

[venivincere]

Please tell me you're TOSing their ass. *spews more curse words at them*

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I am, and anyone who's willing to send a report, please, please do.

That story is not only plagiarised, it's NC-17 and it contains underaged sex.

Icarus

I am disgusted on your behalf. It boggles the mind. What a loser jerkboy.

I sent a request to FFN as well requesting that they remove the story asap.

Sorry this happened to you but glad it was caught.

BTW, since when does a jerk who plagiarizes get a switch cut for them... so not fair :P

I sent a request to FFN as well requesting that they remove the story asap.

Please and thank you. FF.net is quick enough to remove stories for any other complaints I really want to see this taken down.

Sorry this happened to you but glad it was caught.

I wall-paper my stories everywhere to make it easier for plagiarists to be recognised and caught.

BTW, since when does a jerk who plagiarizes get a switch cut for them... so not fair :P

Good point. *saves the switch for you, casts an anvil for the plagiarist*

Hey! That was one of the first slash stories I ever read in HP. *remembers fondly*

Plagiarizing idiot.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I want to hammer them with ff.net's TOS. What is taking ff.net so long to pull the story?

Icarus

[wenelda.livejournal.com]

that's terribly sad (read: pathetic). i'm glad everyone's reporting them, and if they've taken this story you can bet that most (if not all) of their others are plagiarized as well.

i've never understood the point of plagiarizing, but i guess that's because i'm an english major, and it's been instilled in me not to. it goes against every fibre of my being to even consider it, and i remember being terrified of having to write essays in high school not because i didn't want to, but because i was pretty advanced for a high school kid then i came to university and no one else wrote like me so i worried that my professors would think i was stealing off of someone else. it helped, though, that we didn't actually have the internet until i was 17 or so. and, y'know, i credited every single source i ever used.

it just doesn't make sense to steal someone else's writing. it's sad that people do that because it shows they're either lazy or really just can't think on their own in the least, and i think that would be the worst thing to be labeled.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I'm actually writing a post about con-artists and how they think that attempts to explain the mindset.

Icarus

[rhiannonmr.livejournal.com]

Cruising friends-friends. I sent in the abuse report also. It should be gone soon.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. This story needs to be taken down, immediately. What is taking ff.net so long?

Icarus

[marauderthesn.livejournal.com]

What an utter asshole! I hope they get kicked off the site.

I really liked that fic, by the way. :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I have no doubt they will be. One thing you can count on at ff.net is swift action to complaints. I just wrote a post about plagiarism and frauds.

I really liked that fic, by the way. :)

Did you? Cool. I grew up on a lake so the imagery is really drawn from my childhood, especially the changing colors of the moon.

Icarus

[piplover.livejournal.com]

Just sent off an abuse report, and a message to the idiot that they were an ass and I hope they get what they have coming. I love that old Chinese proverb: May you get what you deserve.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. I hope that story is taken down ASAP. ff.net is responding much slower than I expected them to, but probably I'm just impatient.

I just posted some thoughts on plagiarists and frauds.

Eee, you got plagiarized! You're in the CLUB! :D

*does a "You're in the CLUB!" congratulations dance for you*

That's right, which story of yours got ripped off?

Icarus

I promised a little John/Rodney porn, didn't I?

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

It was the only way Rodney could get John to bottom.

A wash of bluish morning light filtered through the stained-glass windows that John always insisted be left open, the waves of Atlantis a distant steady rhythm below. His narrow shoulders cuddled deeper under Rodney's comforter with a satisfied sigh that evened out into soft breathing.

The first slide of Rodney's palm down his smooth side made John edge away, brows drawing together in a frown, his mouth a sleepy pout. He was ticklish when he was awake. Rodney found the hard line of his rather boney hipbone and traced it, curving around to his ass, and John relaxed.

Sheets whispering, Rodney leaned up, his elbow denting the pillow, watching John cautiously as John moved over to give Rodney more room. John was generous in his sleep. Rodney amused himself thinking his cat could make John roll out of bed. It was a good thing Rodney himself slept like a log.

His hand continued to smooth circles over John's ass, massaging, dipping down between John's thighs along his perineum, then sliding up to his balls, the hair coarse and damp. John's breathing hitched, became deeper and more audible. His chest rose and fell in time with Rodney's touch.

Inconveniently, John rolled onto his back, one knee raised.

With a wry snort Rodney retreated, fingers carding pleasantly through the hair on the back of John's leg. He traced the hard muscle across the top of his leg then back down to his inner thigh. He deepened the strokes, paused to explore the smooth patch between his legs, almost to his balls, and then returned.

John sniffed, his breathing quiet again, and Rodney looked up to find a faint glimmer of narrow slit-eyes blinking, uncomprehending. Rodney had learned that "eyes open" didn't necessarily mean John was awake. John could give orders in his sleep in a ringing clear voice, and only the fact that those orders made no sense whatsoever gave him away.

The thigh nearest Rodney slowly fell open, inviting, and Rodney cupped John's balls and his soft cock with a gentle squeeze. He edged closer to John, his breath short, feeling John's cock swell into a smooth mound under his palm. He stopped before John was fully hard. He'd learned that if he woke John up now, he'd find himself tumbled onto his back, his plans spoiled. He ran one hand up through the hair on John's stomach while he reached underneath to feel John's ass.

Sure enough, John responded, rolling back onto his side as he pressed his ass into Rodney's hand with a comfortable sigh. Jackpot.

One hand on John's small cheek, Rodney precariously stretched for the lube on the end table… but couldn't… quite… reach. He made a swipe and knocked it with a clatter to the floor. He had gave up on his grip and leaned over the edge of the bed, flailing along the dark cold tiles till he found it.
