So you might remember this past weekend I contacted [livejournal.com profile] stop_plagiarism about some fics that seemed oddly familiar. (Original post here).

Well, after doing some digging, [livejournal.com profile] stop_plagiarism has determined that [livejournal.com profile] orbofthesulah is a plagiarist. Now, some of you are new but in the past, I was plagiarized (I mean, I have a tag for it!). It's not fun and it's something I can't stand. That is why I do firmly believe in public shaming these people. Sometimes, it helps, they stop their stealing ways, delete their LJs, etc. Sometimes it doesn't. But to me, it's something important to note.

Here is the report on [livejournal.com profile] stop_plagiarism. I find her responses very telling. She clearly doesn't think that stealing is wrong (And one look at her Tumblr, that much is clear. A ton of fics posted without ANY credit or link backs)

So yes, [livejournal.com profile] orbofthesulah aka thegirlinquestion on Tumblr is a plagiarist. And honestly, I never would have found out if she didn't post part of a plagiarised fic on Tumblr and someone reblogged it.

If she is on your LJ or Tumblr, I would suggest deleting her right away as she stole videos and graphics as well. (Stop Plagiarism doesn't cover those, sadly). She doesn't look like she is above from stealing from everyplace she can. I've still got some other people helping me, as it seems most of her fics are stolen from other places. I'm hoping we can fatten up the case.

This isn't a report as much as a plea for help to make a report. I don't know if this is a clear cut plagarism case but [livejournal.com profile] orbofthesulah looks like she has been 'inspired' by some writers, even going so far as to take lines and ideas from their fics:

Her version: http://orbofthesulah.livejournal.com/25188.html
Original by [livejournal.com profile] queen_mecha: http://community.livejournal.com/phaedras_love/12508.html

Screencaps in case she deletes the story: One, Two, Three,
Original screencaps: One, Two, Three Four, Five, Six Seven, Eight

I sent a PM to [livejournal.com profile] queen_mecha but it doesn't look like they have been on LJ since 2007. I don't think they are the same author because of the different writing styles but I contacted [livejournal.com profile] queen_mecha any way to be sure. No response yet. [livejournal.com profile] queen_mecha responded and she isn't [livejournal.com profile] orbofthesulah.

I think she might have also plagarized [livejournal.com profile] x_spikeaholic_x due to comments that were deleted on this entry: http://orbofthesulah.livejournal.com/17460.html (She credits Spikeaholic later)

[livejournal.com profile] orbofthesulah's grammar/spelling ranges so wildly on her fanfics, it looks like others might be plagarized but I'm not sure how to go about figuring out if more of them are. Is there anyone out there in the Spike/Faith, Angel/Faith, Angel/Spike/Faith circles that could help me in identifying more of them?

(I cross-posted this to [livejournal.com profile] stop_plagiarism but I thought maybe my flist could help in the meantime so I can make a full report at SP)
xlivvielockex: (Hips)
I don't know what it is about me that makes me so ripe for getting ripped off. Is it my sparkling personality, my sharp wit, or it might be the fact that instead of going after people who steal from me, I just bitch, moan, and yes, put my little fists on my hips?

I've had stories, icons, graphics, and now my whole freaking roleplay chatroom concept stolen from me.

ExpandCut for the long, boring, you don't really care story )
