2:49am: A small plagiarism wank for an old fandom
Laurellover has been posting stories to a small fanfic community, The L_Word, and receiving lots of praise for her writing efforts. A reader notices that a story is similar to one she read in the X-files fandom. Too similar.

This reader, Toriweber, informs the X-F BOFQ's of XF fandom of her suspicions.

Said BOFQs find out that every story is plagiarized and a feeding frenzy ensues:

OMG YOU PLAGIARIZED TEH SACRED FANFICS

The Lword is bombarded with comments. Comments are at the bottom of the page after the story.

One story was obviously written for a male and female pair, but the newbie forgot to remove the 'male' traits such as 'broad shoulders' and 'under the
dark shadow of a full day's growth'. Fangirl makes lame excuses for this obvious oversight.

Conspiracy theories abound that this may not be a simple case of
plagiarism because this is the X-Files fandom afterall.

Fangirl plagiarizer has yet to show and defend herself.
1:09pm: Religious wank.
rEiNaPrInCeSsA has come to check: "Is there anybody on this board who has never received Christ or they want to reconcile with Christ?" There is a song and dance number. Debate ensues about who's going to Heaven and who is going to Hell. (One guess where rEiNaPrInCeSsA thinks she's going.)

Then Mallrat_lex tells rEiNaPrInCeSsA that she's offending people, a statement which rEiNaPrInCeSsA sees, replies to, then ignores.

Meanwhile, Eyeflash_jay14 takes it upon themself to complain to the mods. A moderator says if they stop replying, it'll go away, but this isn't enough apparently because rEiNaPrInCeSsA is brainwashing people.

And we are informed that rEiNaPrInCeSsA is "actually a pretty popular girl...and Yea I do talk to Him...Cuz He's my BF...and you know what's funny?...He answers me back... So I dunno where you're goin with what you said...You probably think I was the fat girl...Uh Uh...I got people on my tail...every single day" (Perhaps she should represent her 'homeboy' with some grammar and correct spelling?)
