HP Plagiarism/False Identity Wank!
Let me just preface this post by saying that I'm not 100% sure WTF is going on here...

ladyanabelle appears to have been outed as (a) being a plagiarist and (b) not who she said she is. There is supposedly an entry in her journal, under friendslock, that gives her side of this story. Since I am not on her friends list, I can neither confirm nor deny this.

Many other* people, however, comment about it in their journals.

Um, yeah.

ETA: FYI: It looks like the first 2 links above have been made Friends-Only.

First, Laura is a theif. She's a known plagiarizer. She has stolen other people's work. She took credit for it. She made it pass as her own.

Yes, but what did she do?

(Hey - at least she hasn't committed the cardinal sin of Redundancy...)

I think saying she's a thief, a plagiarist and that she's stolen and taken credit for other people's work pretty much indicates what she did.

When I was 10, I saw Red Dwarf. When "Quarantine" came on it became my favorite episode.

Maybe because it's one of the funniest things ever. But also because, when he was in that gingham dress, addressing Mr. Flibbles, it was the first time I realized Chris Barrie is really, really hot.

Icon. Love.

You know, for me it was the Season 6 episode Legion, when he's sitting at the dinner table with his hard light drive blue uniform and the rotating telepathic chopsticks spinning, slowly, in each hand ....

Excuse me for a moment.

When I was 10, I saw Red Dwarf. When "Quarantine" came on it became my favorite episode.

Would you believe that one of my earliest memories is sneaking downstairs at night and watching Red Dwarf with my Dad? It was the Kryten episode too.(I can even remember him trying to explain the premise to me. Dad: "Okay that guy, over there, is the last man alive. And that guy is dead, but he's a hologram. And that floating head is really a computer...". chibi!Jen: *nods, but has no idea wtf is going on*)

The weird thing is that I didn't become a fan until years later, when I moved to the US and our local PBS affiliate started showing it in big money-raising marathons.

"Quarantine" is one of my favorite eps too. And "Back to Reality", and "Polymorph" and the one where everything is backward (if only because it looked cool)

I am now typing blind, so if this looks odd it is because I was blinded by the pink and green and AAAAAAUGH.

*opens eyes* Hey, those typing classes paid off! :D

You simply can't tell me that girl looked at her journal and went "yes, YES, THIS is the journal I've always wanted!" Because, if she did, her seeing privleges need to be revoked.

Dirty plagiarist seeks new friends for good times and smut!
(Anonymous)
2004-06-12 01:38 am UTC (link)
She stole fics and posted them under her SN. When busted, she ran much like we all wish Crystal Gamgee would. A few weeks later, a new author named LadyAnnabelle came onto the site. She made friends and eventually was named as an admin to the site.

People finally put facts/lies together and realized their good friend of the past year was the same plagiarist using a different name.

Now no one is sure what details of her life are real/false, including her age, marital status, etc. Supposedly she eloped because of pregnancy, eloped (people sent her gifts, possibly), had a miscarriage, then later adopted kids. Now her alledgedly adopted kids are outed as being her biological kids.

As far as I know, she's had her admin powers taken away and has lost most of her fandom friends in the process.

From what I've heard, the friends locked post does exist, and that she owns up to it now, although she tried to keep lying, but she will not try and defend herself. (Hope that doesn't break the rules of Flocked posts since I was extremely vague.)

http://checkmated.com/authors.php?name=dkscully&cat=stories This is the screenname that was her first identity, I think. Not sure if these are the ones that were plagiarized or not, but I think all of her works were so it's possible.

She reminds me of my college roommate, who I can only assume was beaten to death by someone who got sick of hearing about her paltry attempts at becoming an actress, or how she dated the Atlanta Braves, had three abortions, and was really Irish (not necessarily in that order).

Actually, I am on LadyAnabelle's F-List, so I've seen the entry. She did indeed admit to plagarism and threw herself on the mercy of her f-list. I got out of most of HPdom due to excessive spooge, so I cannot vouch for the extent of her deception. I do know Claireyfairy1 pretty well, and she's honest, to the point of bluntness, but I like her that way. I liked Annie too, so the whole matter just boggles me.

*snickers* This "false identity" stuff always reminds me of when one of the slash4savagegarden mods, who everyone though was one of the only male members, admitted to the group that she was actually a woman.

One of the few occasions when S4SG wasn't wanky about something, most of the replies were "*hugz!!* we love and support u sweetie its ok!!"

Personally, I wasn't surprised. ^_^;;

Am I the only one who is mostly sorry for ladyanabelle? Sounds like she stuffed up her first attempt at fandom rather badly, then decided to try again, with a different persona, and do it right this time, and got a little caught up with the fantasy side of things. All this "My heart is broken by you, foul deceiver!" stuff seems a little over the top.

I am on her friends list too. She admitted to pplagiarizing under the name dk sully. Then when she was confronted she ran off. I'm not sure I wouldn't have done the same things. Then she says she created ladyanabelle because she missed people and didn't think she could go back to being "Laura".

I'm feeling quite betrayed as we chatted frequently but after reading all the venom (justifiable I'm certain.) Can't say I blame her for running the first time because she certainly wouldn't have been welcome.

The HP fandom can be quite unforgiving.

The plagiarism issue was bad, lying to people was bad. But with the posts that followed her admission. Gee, I'd be on the next bus out of fandom.

I don't condone what she did. It's a betrayal of the deepest sort. I don't trust her but I'm willing to give her a second chance. Call me stupid.
