3:39PM - Yet another plagiarist
Small potatoes this time, but still requires mashing.
A plagiarist using the pseudonym "Alexaviera.J.Raven" posted a Highlander story to FFN. The story was a word-for-word copy of The Good Student by Sylvia Volk (one of the best-known stories in HL fanfiction). The story was reported to FFN Abuse, and has been deleted.
The plagiarist has other stories on FFN, all of them in the Buffy/Angel fandom. I strongly suspect that at least four of them are also plagiarized (Love Desire and the Law, Introductions, What If?, and Office Pleasures) because of the superior quality of the writing. Does anyone recognize these stories?
The plagiarist's FFN page is here.
ETA: The plagiarist responds. You can fill in the "Roommate Made Me Do It" square on your Plagiarism Bingo cards.
