Hey Fandom Wank! Tired of Diana Gabaldon's fans not understanding the difference between fanfic and plagiarism? I know I am!

So let's have some real plagiarism!

Meet kittystrife. Her entire LJ, from fannish to personal posts, right down to the profile, appears to have been lifted from an assortment of other fans.

I am too lazy to link all the instances so far, but it all started here. Other links are here, here, and here.

Like musesfool, I swear those BSG ep reviews aren't hers, but I don't know who they belong to. I'm sure there's lots of other lifted stuff I don't know either. See anything you recognize?

Also, shall we start the countdown to deletion? 5...4...3...

ETA: Thank you, [info]onetimeoffer for doing all the work!

ETA 2: And [info]cesare wins the bahleetion pool at 12:01 pm EST! Um, I've got some gum for your prize, okay, Ces?

ETA 3: [info]mpoetess has more screencaps here. Good wankas help! :D

A few more screencaps:

One entry that doesn't seem to be capped elsewhere - no idea if it's plagiarized

Man, that is so incoherent. Marvel over the different writing styles! Squint as you realize one blog entry looks familiar, but you can't figure out where you saw it....

All of her entries look vaguely familiar to me. It's really weird.

I know I've seen the line about not groping one's boobs in public fairly recently on my flist. Curse my sieve-like memory! I can't remember who it was. [info]seperis recently posted about giving up coffee though.

(googled up by dwg @ LJ, who can't post 'cuz anon commenting is off)

In the screencaps, you can see that:

- her Alice in Wonderland review is from ONTD
- SPN 5.16 reaction post is from missyjack
- there are posts from her MySpace in Google cache of jaspian's Boondock Saints II review and missyjack's SPN 5.13 reaction post (I'm not sure what the protocol on including those links are, so I'm not going to, but I can add them if they're allowed)

Etc., etc., tarantara, tarantara...

The first one is indeed plagiarized. I think it's from kiwikitti on DW but I'm not sure. I have seen it before though.

In the skip=20 screenshot, the ripped pants one is, I think, also ripped off from kiwikitti on DW.

I got the name wrong both times: it's kiwikiwi. And the one with the Twix bar is also plagiarized from her.

After skimming through that, it looks like she's been ripping from kiwikiwi pretty extensively.

Oh, found another one of mine at Skip=60. The one about two-thirds of the way down about feeling lonely and out of sorts and feeling like the heroine in a quirky romance novel. And of course that's my post about my crappy printer at the bottom of that page as well.

So what's the apocalypsos tally? Fifteen, sixteen, somewhere around there?

I don't know if anyone's pointed it out yet, but the "boobs for sociology" entry in the skip=20 cap is [info]caffeinic's (original here).

The whole situation is bizarre enough to begin with, but it is really odd to see her rip off people I know. At least she's not ripping my entries, I guess? (Well, my journal's f-locked anyway.)

Her entry "shocked and appalled" on the main page is mostly from Shirozora's SPN sneak peek post. The entry "taste my bisexual fury" on skip=20 looks like it's from Shirozora's journal, too.
