Repeat Plagiarist on DA and FF.Net You are in deep

Mon Nov 16, 2009, 8:30 PM
Gotta love it when idiots make themselves look incredibly stupid. The wonderful Sangoworshipper over at Fanfiction. net is back!

[link]

EDIT: She is at DeviantART as well under the member name of princessfan. She has posted the prologue of 'her' story here. Please help by reporting her. Let DA Abuse team understand she is a repeat Plagiarist. I have the link down below that you can use for the URL in the Report. (of where the person posted the novel on their blog)

[link]

I also have screencaps of when she first started and this one to provide as proof.

Remember when she stole Sharie Kohler's published novel, Marked by Moonlight, and posted her story called Until the Full Moon?

Where she merely used the "Replace" tool in Word to remove the real character names and insert the InuYasha character names? Where she took maybe about ten words and using a Thesaurus gave those words another word?

I had contacted the author through her website: [link] and told her about it including the screen caps I took of a few chapters. She was rather ticked off by the theft and forwarded the email to her editor. I had also sent an email to Simon and Schuster Inc via their website: [link] to tell them about it as well.

Thanks to some people who feel passionately about Plagiarism who helped out with reporting sangoworshipper to the Abuse team over at FF the story was eventually pulled down.

She later claimed her 'brother' had 'deleted' her stories and she said: "Unfortunaley, I don't have any backup for any of these stories, and I'm not going to try to re-do them from the beginning."


Well, she's back... with help from a poor unfortunate fool one geega-pax over at FF.net... (poor unfortunate fool because if the lawyers decide go for the throat, he has found himself along side that idiot just by trying to help)

Here: [link] (this person went and posted the novel so you can compare it)



She has posted the SAME THING again!



[link]

This time she did a butcher's job with Marked by Moonlight through hacking out chunks of paragraphs or whole paragraphs altogether.


I have contacted both Sharie Kohler and Simon and Schuster Inc again. Maybe this will be the guillotine for Fanfiction. net? One can only hope. Again, I feel strongly that FF.net NEEDS to be shut down for something like a month for them to start taking Plagiarism VERY seriously and do their jobs!

I doubt the legal dept of Simon and Schuster Inc will be looking at this with the sense this is merely a stupid kid pulling a very stupid stunt. I doubt they will be going for the Nice Lawyer Approach. I would have to say they will be rather Pissed Off... And I say 'Go for it'!

*chuckles* or maybe a series of hefty fines for all involved (you too FF.net) will have them thinking about Plagiarism. Maybe someone in FF.net Admin/Staff will have one tiny fibre or molecule of decency about them and give sangoworshipper the Ban Hammer.


Side note: In case you are curious about why I feel FF.Net needs to be closed for a period of time... You haven't spoken to or heard from so many writers who have had their stories stolen and had FF.Net do extremely little with helping out the victims and getting the plagiarists/their stories removed. Compared to the stories that DO get removed it is a huge difference that still remains. Or tried to have a plagiarized story removed. FF.Net has been gathering the reputation of being a safe haven for Plagiarists to gather in.
