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.
