Plagerism alert.
From Fandom Secrets on LJ - a book of poetry written by Ven Findlay contains a number of poems which have been plagiarised. If you write poetry & post it online, check the link for more information.

I do write poetry and post it online, and this happened right when I don't have any time to google random lines and see if any of my poems got stolen.

But my most well-known (in an extremely small-scale way) poems didn't turn up anything, so I'm probably safe.

At least it looks like they're pulling all the copies of the book.

I'm not a poetry person but I thought I'd take a look to see if some friends' stuff was in there. Thankfully I didn't recognize anything familiar.

The plot has thickened - the plagarist actually fessed up in one of the original poets's LJ accounts. The original poet is handling things very, very calmly (impressively so) in that linked thread, but....it's still pretty interesting.
