WTF?! Plagiarism Wank, and not a Harry Potter fan in sight!
So, apparently, some hapless, pea-brained Sailor Moon writer named Tyler is currently writing a story called "As The World Falls Down". It turns out she claims she was "inspired" by Annie Sewell-Jenkins' Buffy story, "The Last Summer", which in itself is an admitted rip-off of Nevil Shute's On The Beach. And it WAS inspired from ASJ's story, if by "inspired" you mean "basically replaced all the Buffy characters' names with Sailor Moon characters' names and posted it as her own story". Hee!
Annie apparently initially found this amusing (right well!) although she did say, "Needless too say, the bitch is going down." This prompted hilarity through 68 comments wherein her friends give mature encouragement throughout such as "Fuck her shit up, Annie!" and the dignified "That's just so... so wrong! and my personal favorite by harmonyfb, which made me laugh so hard that I cried:
Plagiarism isn't "inspiration", and it isn't flattery. It's theft. You have stolen their intellectual property and claimed that it was yours. It is against the law.
I advise you to remove the files from your site and post an apology to both authors - and never do it again. I have advised Annie Sewell-Jennings to seek legal advice, and to notify the estate of Mr. Shute so that they might do the same.
Emphasis on "It's theft" not mine. I personally encourage AnnieSJ to please, please seek legal advice! I would looooove to see those legal documents, dude! "Plaintiff claims that Defendent blatantly ripped off her blatant rip off, from which neither made any money. Plaintiff seeks damages in the sum of..."
Well, this is all well and good, but anniesj then posted this wanktastically fabulous and hilarious letter to "her plagiarist". Notice her choice of words. "My plagiarist", akin to "my abusive ex" or "my attacker".
The next day, amidst a dozen or so self-congratulatory paragraphs, she talks a little about why this shit hasn't shown up here on F_W yet. I'm an obliging sort, so y'all enjoy!
