Moar House Wank!
I just woke up, so apologies if I goof up anything.

Plucky girl detective [info]cryptictac has discovered that [info]awwsugah has been repeatedly and blatantly thieving from several notable authors in House fandom and reposting fics on her Myspace as her own, including claiming [info]pirate_eggie's Howse comics as her own. One of the summaries attached to a fic that she (re)posted:

I was bitten by a plot bunny this morning, and between that and finding out that I actually have an AUDIENCE for my fanficition...here is your drabble of the week. I will probably expand this into at least a ficlet, as I personally think the idea is genius. Title: Everybody Lies

Oh, sweet, sweet irony! The Myspace blog has since been set to private, but there are caps linked to in the post, and there is a tenuous apology from [info]awwsugah.

ETA 1: A more complete apology here, but this:

As for my motive... there was none. It was directly after Hurricane Katrina that the posting began and I truly had NOTHING TO GAIN FROM IT.

Hurricane Katrina made me do it!

ETA 2: Minor lol-inducing comment - [info]savemoony: "I don't mean to sound hyperbolic, except for the fact that I totally do but plagiarists are up there with murders to me. I have *no* tolerance for them." That's almost on a par with the famed [info]julia_bohemian's trolling/wanking = child molestation, don't you think?

THIS IS NOT A VALID POST-PLAGIARISM POST UNTIL YOU BLAME IT ON YOUR ASPERGERS AND INSINUATE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO KILL YOURSELF. SNAP TO IT.

At last, someone who gets it.

Writing and posting is no longer an option. Neither is roleplaying. So maybe there isn't much point in staying.

What, there's still quizzes!

Katrina? Scandolas... I expect the insults and the hatred. I'm not here to defend myself. I don't deny what I've done. I'm just trying to apologize. There's no way to heal the wounds I've caused and my stealing, betrayal, and horrible horrible judgement are all but permanently engraved.

I feel like saying, 'It's just the internet...' but seriously, she sounds so heartfelt and sincere...anyone want to run her speech through Copyscape to see if she plaij'd it?

Okay, stealing fic is... fairly easy but stealing Howse and trying to claim it as your own? DUDE, that's just stupid because pretty much everyone in the House fandom knows of the comic Howse and has some vague idea of who is the author.

"Take into account that I, being me, know much more about Robert Sean Leonard and Hugh Laurie than you ever will."

Which she then follows up with tidbits which can be gleaned from Wikipedia and gossip magazines.

Seriously, WTF?

About 20 different fics by 20 different people.

Ambtious laziness or lazy ambition?

Also:
Running away only makes it worse. Witness all the scoffing after julia_bohemian bahleeted her journal.

Who's got the backstory on this? Cause this is someone I've actually read.

Oh dear.

How did she think she could get away with stealing from some of the most well-known H/W writers? Of course somebody had to find out sooner or later.


And isn't [info]awwsugah the one who describes herself als being ttly liek House because she has "nerve damage" in her leg and "chronic pain" and sometimes has to use a cane? du-duuuun.

Well, I do give the gal points for fessing up and apologizing, instead of making outlandish excuses or inventing a nanny with the same IP to blame things on.

But there does seem to be a leetle bit of attention whoring in the whole "I suck so bad I'm just going to go away and never come back." Because, face it, threatening to leave, no matter how humbly, inevitably carries within it the hope that people will beg you to stay. If you truly mean to go, you'll go without fanfare and you won't come back to check and see if anybody noticed.

Someone should link that more complete apology to Cassie Cla(i)re as an example of how to react when you're caught plagiarizing.

Cause, you know, admitting you fucked up and apologizing for it will get you far in life. Reading through those comments, I was a little surprised that so many people offered her support and asked her to stay... but in a good way, since she seems sincere.

And, you know, apparently she was only lifting House/Wilson fic, so I shouldn't need to worry that she took any of my stuff :)

It amazes me that people actually think they're going to get away with this kind of thing - given how easy it is to track stuff down on the internet these days, it's pretty much a certainty that someone will eventually find out you're copying someone, especially if you're in the SAME FUCKING FANDOM CIRCLES (or at least tangentially related to them). I mean, all it takes is one or two people who read both posts and like the story enough to remember pieces of it so they recognize it when they see it a second time.

On a random note, the phrase "plucky girl detective" always amuses me.
