    He's reposted 100,000 suns and that fic where Harry kills Draco and makes a Horcrux - can't remember the name - but I know they're DLP fics, and I recognize the majority of his other fics from the WBA.

    Lynch mob time?

    Are these actually ripped from WbA? And posted without their author's permission?

    I haven't read much from the WbA in years and don't want to leap to conclusions.

    Well, Ron-and-Ginny-Lover has the userID# 3451797 on ff.net. He's previously used the nick AgileBeast.

    He's referenced in this Spacebattles thread which links to two of his earlier reposts of otherwise hard to find stories. Both reposts have since been deleted from ff.net.

    He doesn't seem to be a member of Spacebattles or DLP under either of those nicks. I tried searching for variations on both names, here and there. I don't know what his DLP nick is, though he obviously has one. There's no indication that he's ever been a member of Spacebattles - just thought I should make that clear. AgileBeast's Perpicacity rip off wasn't from Perp's ff.net version - it was an older copy, likely straight from WbA.

    The Zealot is Amerision's story, and 100,000 sons is Methene's. Sam Teto was posted here as well, though I forgot by whom, possibly Andro or Amerision as well. I want to go out on a limb and say all stories aren't his, even if possibly not all are by DLP authors.

    Either way, one of the more astounding cases of plagiarism. I'll PM him; let's see what he has to say.

    Edit: And The Zealot is neither on ff.net nor on PC, so it can only come from the WBA. He has to be a member.

    Well, then that is what the report abuse button is for. His loss.

    Reporting as well. This kind of thing irritates me since those authors posted here for a simple reason, they wanted to leave it here. If they wanted it on FFN they'd put it there.

    I reported this as well. It would have been nice if the guy were to respond to the review I left on his repost of my story. I am curious what makes him tick.

    Yeah I saw that, it was sickening the number of reviews that have already been posted that all think he's the original author.

    Many of these are just people noting the plagiarism.

    He's not doing much to try to hide that he's posting others' work, using the same summaries and titles as the original authors, which makes me wonder whether it's maybe just a case of someone hailing from a culture/country with more lax rules on such matters or a kid who doesn't realize that blatant copying without attribution is wrong. (My son needed a lesson in this not so long ago.)

    It's a bit annoying, but not really the kind of thing worth getting too worked up over. Report and move on. The admins will take care of it (eventually).

    Edit: I confess to being a little curious how someone with a handle "Ron and Ginny Lover" found their way to DLP membership...

    Eh, Incest in fanfiction isn't exactly an unusual concept here.

    So, reported and left a review informing him of his plagiarism, as I stated above.

    In return, I got about sixteen reviews for Renegade Cause that look a lot like this:

    Eh, boosted my review count nicely, but I am a tad concerned that he'll try to get my fic pulled, and I did manage to accrue over 900,000 hits on it.

    Pers, enough being nice. This guy needs two assholes where his eyesockets used to be. And then he needs to be fucked in those assholes.

    Eh - just get several people to report him and ff.net will delete him. Sometimes their staff can be fast if there are enough people to report something.

    Incest in general isn't exactly an unusual concept here ...

    To be fair, Silens, that fifth review is very accurate.

    Since it's guest I'm willing to bet it's the same guy. The funny part is that he's literally posting once per chapter of the same thing. Lol.

    Considering the publishing date, all the stories are probably plagiarized. Reported to hell.
