More Plagiarism---

[icarus]

Our Primer to the Dark Arts plagiarist, WhereTheGobblinsGo has also plagiarized --

First Signs of Magic: Hermione Granger -- stolen here Didn't even bother to rename it
First Signs of Magic: Draco Malfoy -- stolen here Didn't rename it either
First Signs of Magic: Severus Snape -- stolen here Didn't renem this one either

I've taken screencaps, and am in the process of contacting the web admin. Please review the stories and tell the plagiarist to take them down. The plagiarist needs to know that she has been caught, and very quickly. These were posted today. A quick response will help convince the plagiarist that this is something she can't get away with. No need for bitter anger. Firmness is more important.

trevelyan_s, thank you for finding this and bringing it to my attention.


ETA: I've heard from the webadmin at hpfandom.net (within less than half an hour). She recognizes the stories, read them when they came out, and is contacting the site owner to either have them or the author removed.

Well. This is one way to find one of the few archives I haven't posted to. Frankly, this is the main reason why I post everywhere.

First of all, WTF girl?! Has fandom lost its collective marbles? *hugs you*

So, I've been meaning to tell you the last time that happened about a screen capture utility that can capture an entire page, no matter how many screens it spans to. It's called FastStone Capture and you can find the last freeware version (v5.3) here (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=775). (Just don't go to the original site to d/l, the version there might be the latest, but it's shareware and will stop working at a point.) It's portable and very light, my favorite tool at work when I need to leave unattended users with temp admin rights. I snap a few shots of their installation and... ok, TMI.

Tell me if you need any help with the app and... happy hunting.

Yes, thank you. I'll download it later tonight. I'd like to download it now, but I'm afraid that I have two papers to write and a ton of Sanskrit homework. The best I can do at the moment is contact the webadmins. This plagiarist has wasted an entire morning of my time, time that I can't afford.

Or is it all the same person, under different names? This sort of thing seems to have happened a lot lately, in several fandoms.

I wish I could post there, but that site is blocked for me. Others go and post for me, please!

Maybe it's like red tide and blooms seasonally.
