We's BFFs. I noes this cuz Troy sed so.

::nods srsly::

A return - briefly - to my previous post here.

The stop_plagiarism post is here and has now been updated to reflect everything I could find in the comments, identifying and linking to the plagiarised fic.

The reason I'm posting again is that it's now clear that wickedplotbunny has also lifted from SGA fic as well as SG-1, namely Forgiveness by trialia. I don't know if anyone has alerted her yet - so I'm off to do that now - but it does mean that those on my flist who write and read in SG:A - and there are rather a lot of you ::g:: - might want to double check those stories that haven't been identified yet.

Also, I wanted to acknowledge that aelfgyfu_mead was the one who first alerted me to my story being ripped off - I didn't want to out her without checking with her first :)

And now I'll shut up about it :)

Okay, it's not unrelated. It is completely related to my previous post here.

The stop_plagiarism post is here. In the comments to the post, spiralleds has put together a list of all of the fics that wickedplotbunny 'wrote' together with their correct attribution where it's known. However, there are still a number of fics where the correct author (and given how many fics she's ripped off, it's looking less and less likely that she's written anything herself) has yet to be identified.

If anyone thinks that they can help, could you go and have a poke around and see if you can recognise anything, please? Maybe pass the word on to people who wrote in SG-1 and may be at risk of having been plagiarised if you're so inclined?

Thank you!

So, today started well. Was on my way to a breakfast seminar when someone ran into the back of my car. I was stationary, waiting for the lights to change, and apparently she had her head in the clouds. Thankfully no one was hurt, and there doesn't appear to be any damage to either car - not even a scratch on my bumper - but it didn't half give me a shock.

Then I come home and find an e-mail informing that I've been plagiarised. Yep. Someone took my story, Silence (which was written in 2001 or 2002 - in any case, it was nominated for an SG Fan Award for Best Story in 2002) and filed the numbers off, reposting it as a Torchwood fic.

I only read the first couple of paragraphs - I couldn't bear to read any more even though I'm not particularly precious - and it is literally a word for word copy/paste job from what I can see.

Just in case she deletes it now that I've posted, I've saved it to my hard drive and here's a comparison of the first few paras of the two:

( My story )

( Her story )

Yep. The bold bits were written by yours truly. And I have erred on the side of caution - the only things bolded should be direct lifts. I haven't bolded anything that's paraphrased rather than word for word, even though in many cases there's very little difference.

Honestly. What's the point in ripping off someone else? Apart from anything else, every single complimentary comment must ring hollow and it's not like you can tell anyone who says they didn't like it that that's okay. You didn't bloody write it!

ETA: And, lo, she hath deleted her LJ. Because that's the sign of a clear conscience.

ETA2: But, lo, because I am an ex-archivist and therefore sneaky as a sneaky thing, I have the html page and lots of lovely screencaps:

ETA3: From ljseek: the cached version of the post and a list of places that linked to it.

Title: Symphony for the Devil
Author: alyse
Pairing: Max/Alec, established relationship
Word Count: ~5,000
Rating: PG13
Warning: None
Spoilers: Set post Season 2
Disclaimer: I don't own Dark Angel or its characters. I'm just borrowing them and will put them back, possibly a little more worn than they were before.
Author's notes: Written for yourlivewire for the Winter 2008 jam_pony_fic Ficathon. Prompt used was Max/Alec. Max catches him playing piano and they talk, leading to kissing, leading to wherever you want to take it. This can be with an established relationship or not, but I think it would make more sense if it were with one. (You don't have to explain how they got together.)

Thanks to aithine for the beta.

Summary: Planning is for amateurs.

Author's Notes: I have this thing about Abby and Connor kissing, and I just have to share. Thanks to temaris for the beta read.

Summary: Her only excuse is that she might have seen a few too many secret agent movies when she was a kid.

Title: Perfect

Pairing: Abby/Connor
Rating: 15
Spoilers: Set just after Season 2, so there are some references to what happens
Word Count: ~4,000
Disclaimer: Primeval and its characters belong to Impossible Pictures. No copyright infringement is intended. This is fanfiction, written solely for love of the show.
Author's Notes: I appear to have acquired a habit of either writing or posting fic on my birthday. And why break with tradition this year?

Many thanks to temaris and moonlettuce for both the enabling and the read through. The title comes from a Fairground Attraction song. The rest, for better or ill, is all me.

Summary: It's Connor's birthday today, and Abby's been planning it for weeks.

medie asked me if there would be icons based on the Wraithbait pirate skin.

I said I'd think about it, which is Al speak for 'my icon making fu is weak'. My icon making fu is still weak, but, hey, I made the original manip so I shouldn't be too hard on myself ::g::

Also, she asked so nicely.

So here are some icons. They're fairly basic (icon making fu = weak) but I've provided some blanks, which are basically crops of the skin with the faces sharpened up to take account of the shrinking in image size so it's not (too) blurred. Do with them what you will, including tarting up the blanks if you're so inclined. I've got a big jpg of the manip as well if anyone is feeling particularly artistic.

I'm not precious about icons, so use whatever you want, no credit necessary (although pimping the site if you're asked what they're about would be nice :))
