Plagiarism Hits Close To Home
Plagiarism alert!

In Hot Fuzz fandom, a plagiarist has been getting away with things for months! Word for word copies went completely unnoticed until today, when the original OP of these stolen fics sent us mods an email.

Why did the mods get the email?

The plagiarist is phosfate.

For months she's been copying the fic (and we discovered after some clicking, her art as well!) of one annlarimer.

And while I may be no Ms. Lennox, I compiled a quick list of evidence for y'all:

annlarimer: Example A
phosfate: Example A

annlarimer: Example B
phosfate: Example B

annlarimer: Example C
phosfate: Example C

annlarimer: Example D
phosfate: Example D

annlarimer: Example E
phosfate: Example E

And now for how this affects you guys.

phosfate has had her mod powers taken away (and I would appreciate it if you guys didn't troll her journal. Even though I think most of our friendship has been lies, they were really nice lies) and we're short a mod on this sinking ship.

So it's up to you, my fair wankahs, to... NOMINATE A NEW MOD.

Voting will be held later in the day!

Poll #357 WHO SHALL LEAD US
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Who, in your opinion, is best suited to be FW's new mod?

	For serious. Imagine if Google spent half as much time planning world domination as they do on April Fools (I've seen at least 8 today so far). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
