Current mood:	Confused
Entry tags:	baleetion, fandom: harry potter, plagiarism

Why the deletion?
Wasn't there a wank-in-the-making about an allegedly plagiarized theory in the Harry Potter books?

Yeah... there was, because I still have the webpage open in my browser.

ETA: Here's the "You stole this!" post.

I think someone else may have accused them of the same thing, too.

Moreover, you made a mistake, saying that the Bishop taken by Hermione is Drako. You watch too much movies with Tom Felton. Drako Malfoy isn't a Death Eater, also he isn't going to participate in war neither he's a brave and hot hero who is going to be so important in furute books. Besides you didn't explain why JK Rolwing made black pieces good and white pieces evil. It's a very importand mistake. JK put a clue even in this.

Is it just me that is stupid? Because I have no clue what lady_gally just said. A brave and hot hero? That statement right there seemed to take all credibility out of her argument. Or something.

	I think that she's saying he's not a "brave and hot hero", it's just a little more difficult to parse because her English is a wee bit rough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm guessing that she's saying he's not a hero...English doesn't appear to be her first language, which would probably also account for the "Drako" spelling. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Unfortunately this wank turned out to be a lot less wanky then what I come to expect from HP fandom, so I was forced to supply the wank myself. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	'Cause, you know, NO ONE would EVER just sort-of think up the "Harry Potter as Chess Game" theory. I've got Lycoris on my lj friendslist (yet another example of Digimon fandom survivors sticking together.) She was talking about this kinda thing months ago. I fully feel that a LOT of people could come up with this. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	impendingdoom 2004-01-11 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	I fully feel that a LOT of people could come up with this. Oh, and they do. I've seen one similar theory myself. And they're all so determined to prove that they though of it first. laughs (Reply to this)(Parent)

	lizardlaugh 2004-01-11 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	We credited lycoris (who pre-dates them) on the first page and on the credits page, and I posted links to other chess theories to the accusers from discussions on HP4GU. No, chess theories are not new. We never claimed we were first. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

You know... as everyone was going a lot crazier over this this thing than I ever expected, I said to

ixchelmala 'all we need now, is to be fandom wanked'. Thanks guys :D

Haven't heard back from any of the folks yelling plagiarism. If we were plagiarists , why would credit we some else within our theory for a theory they came up with before these guys did?

If anyone else has made this accusation, tell them to bring it. We never claimed that 'chess as metaphor' was ours, ours alone, or ours first. How could you, when chess is a metaphor war to begin with?

Wank on, fellow wankers. You know you've arrived in the Harry Potter Fandom when you have been accused of being a plagiarist pedophile... good thing I've now friends locked most of the posts where I perv over Daniel Radcliffe.

Well, since I'm standing here covered in my own spunk, I'd like to pass a link to you guys -- http://www.knight2king.net . If you haven't seen it yet, please check it out. Agree, disagree, call us plagiarists pedophiles -- we hope it gets you thinking about canon in all new ways.

	Dunno if you're BNFs yet, and don't really care who came up with the theory first -- but for some reason your comment makes me want to filk Tom Lehrer's "Lobachevsky". (Reply to this)(Parent)

Oh God, you're worse than Heidi in FA drone mode.

"I wanna thank the Academy for giving us this award. We are so grateful and overwhelmed by your love that's why we advertised this theory three months in advance!
It's not our theory, but we invented it (oh and never mind those people who had the idea first, we made out brains smoke trying to figure it ALL OUT) and by the way read it and adore it as THE MOTHER OF ALL HP THEORIES!!!! Sure, we allow you to write fics using OUR theory and here is the link (We even bought a domain for it), give the link to all of your friends, comment, so we can make it even better using YOUR ideas. Just like we used other people's idea and just gave them a cheesy name."

This is Fandom Wank, not plug your crappy theories central, you Cassandra Claire imposter.
