Dearest, beloved, Fandom Wank.

I know you were looking forward to great excitement today. Some of you said words to me that indicated you anticipated fiery 'judgement' upon those who remained fresh and dewey white, those you call n00bs.

Anyway, you got today instead.

Stop anticipating things, we'll just break your hearts.

Sincerely,

Sepia P. Magpie, Esq.



PS: Use this post to reflect on how you could be better people. Or just fuck around in the comments.

ETA 2: Cassie Edwards has THE BIGGEST BALLS ON THE PLANET. They hang all the way down to her knees.

SAVAGE OBSESSION
Page 549
“I, alone, the chief’s wife, did as you asked. Do you now truly believe the cornfields will be more fruitful?”
[…]
“You have blessed the cornfields. The passing of your footsteps drew a magic circle around the field of freshly planted maize. No insects or worms shall pass over that magic circle.”

HIAWATHA
Section XIII, fourth & sixth stanzas
To his wife, the Laughing Water:
‘You shall bless to-night the cornfields
[…]
Thus the fields shall be more fruitful,
And the passing of your footsteps
Draw a magic circle round them,
So that neither blight nor mildew,
Neither burrowing worm or insect,
Shall pass o’er the magic circle;

SAVAGE OBSESSION
Page 549-550
When night had fallen in their village and all was silent with the spirit of sleep a companion in all the St. Croix’ wigwams, Lorinda had crept from her tent, alone. Once outside, beneath the soft reflection of the April moon, she had laid her garments aside, knowing that Yellow Feather had assured her that no eye would see her.
[…]
she had begun her slow circle of the field, around its borders […]

HIAWATHA
Section XIII, fifth stanza
In the night, when all is silence,
In the night, when all is darkness,
When the Spirit of Sleep, Nepahwin,
Shuts the doors of all the wigwams,
So that not an ear can hear you,
So that not an eye can see you,
Rise up from your bed in silence,
Lay aside your garments wholly,
Walk around the fields you planted,
Round the borders of the cornfields,

ETA: Cassie Edwards has BIG BRASS BALLS.

From my inbox:

SAVAGE OBSESSION
Page 284 (pg 434 in Large Type edition)
The odors of the forest, the dew and damp meadow, and the curling smoke from the wigwams were left behind as Lorinda […]

HIAWATHA by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
Lines 3-5 of the Introduction
With the odors of the forest,
With the dew and damp of meadows,
With the curling smoke of wigwams

From Nikki the Super Badass Researcher

I REPEAT: BIG BRASS HANGING BALLS.

Seriously.

A lot of stuff has happened since the first report. So much so that I didn't think a bunch of "ETAs" on the original would suffice.

From the comments, Our own doyle Found more examples of plagiarism. She lifted directly from the encyclopedia!

( Signet takes this seriously. Cassie Edwards says she had a horrible thing done to her. )

Or Raccoon Penis Quill Wank.
ETA: Part 4
Cassie Edwards lifted passages from 1930 Pulitzer Prize Winner Laughing Boy.


ETA: THE RETURN: Signet responds. Don't worry. It's not "really" plagiarism because it's not copyright infringement. Cassie Edwards responds in an AP Article. It can't be plagiarism. She didn't know it was wrong. Fortunately, as per her publisher, it wasn't wrong.

I wasn't sure if I should put this here or OTF_Wank, but I figure since the Anne Rice wank shows up here, I'd go with F_W. If it's wrong, my deepest apologies.

Earlier today, Smart Bitch Candy makes a rather serious accusation about popular romance novelist Cassie Edwards. If you don't know the name, she's the author of over 100 books, including such classics as Savage Winds. Candy gave her friend a book called Shadow Bear, and her friend immediately did what professors across the country do every day--notice a huge discrepancy in writing styles and suspect something strange is afoot at the Circle K.

Cassie Edwards is a plagiarist.

( So they started to Google. )

ETA: But wait! There's more!

ETA 2: As seen at SBTB. The guy she ripped off? One Charles Alexander Eastman. If you don't recognize the name, you can find out more here. Including the interesting fact that he helped to found the Boy Scouts of America in 1910.
