I can't begin to tell you how angry this makes me.

For those who don't know wickedplotbunny, who used to 'write' in the Torchwood fandom deleted their journal because they had been caught plagiarizing; not just one story, but several.

alyse, one of the authors who's work was stolen has documented it here, there are eight confirmed plagiarized stories. What kind of person does that?!

Plus, what do you gain from plagarising? I mean it's not like she gained any money and you can't seriously enjoy comments for work you didn't do, can you? *is really pissed off with you*

I don't understand it. It's like you said she didn't gain anything.

You can't seriously enjoy comments for work you didn't do, can you? Don't know, maybe she did.

I've been looking at the stories and all she did was change the names and places. Did she not realize that someone would notice? *boggles*

I've never read he stories afaik, so I can't compare, really.

Well, there are people who repost entire songvids made by someone else on You Tube and pass them off as their own... It's one reason I started adding watermarks to my vids, not that it would protect my dear little vidses. But well, I suppose my vids are relatively save, since the imposter would have to speak at least a little German... *shakes head* I really don't get it...

One of mine has been taken, too. What I can't fathom is why on earth anyone would plagiarise a 100-word drabble!

No way?! Couldn't ever write their own drabble?! That is the lowest of the low!

If you don't mind me asking, what drabble was it? I'd like to read it.

This is 'hers': http://www.ljseek.com/drabble-guilt_237894665.html
and this is mine: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2738011/1/Forgiveness

She's blatantly ripped. I don't get why anyone would do that, though!

I don't get it either; she had nothing to gain by what she did, and I don't see how she could have enjoyed all the comments she got. What makes me the most angry is that the plagiarism was so blatant, all she did was change the names. Not to mention she stole so many fics, stealing one is bad enough.

I liked your drabble, by the way.
