    Your cloest. Beware of our might!
    Again!? Damn... Try contacting this author, and if that doesn't work out or if he's a jerk to you about it, hand him over.

    Don't waste too much of your energy on these kind of asses, simply report them.

    From personal experience, I would say, report the plagiarist... you will deeply regret it if you don't. Once again from my experience, I would say don't even bother contacting them, I did that with my own little plagiarist, but that did little avail as they continued by making minor adjustments and continually follow my lead. People, who plagiarize, don't really care and that is why they plagiarize, because they don't care enough to do their own writing. So report their sorry asses!!!

    This is what happens when you live in the same room as Stained Future.

    Seriously mate you seem to be attracting plagiarism.

    Though why you go about reading such shitty fics in the first place is beyond me. ^.^

    It is quite similar, but like IP and nonjon said with the first one, it isn't similar enough that it could be classified as plagiarism. I say just contact the author and direct him to your fic, pointing out the similarities, and see what he says. It might, after all, just be honest coincidence...might being the optimum word.

    I wouldn't even say it is that similar. It's the same idea, Harry banging Narcissa in front of Draco, but the result is not compareable. You can call the other thing an adjusted summary of your scene. It is quite annoying, but I doubt that's enough to bring him in.

    If the other has read quite a few fics featuring Harry and Narcissa, then he can certainly point out other stories using the same idea. I think I have seen at least one similar scene before (but it might have been a rape scene).

    Has anybody realised that he goes through all the descriptions of weapons, stance etc, Now if you have watched troy he has just taken the fight scene from the Movie, changed the names and characters and stuck it in his fic. Horrible really, No imagination. I agree that this was blatant plagiarism from both the movie and you.

    Dude, What. The. Fuck.

    Trident, if it is you, you've already been banned for eternity, just get the fuck off the forums.

    An Admin should contact his ISP for violating the terms of service and continued ban evasion. They may just discontinue his internet service and at the least, embarrass the fuck out of the little bugger.

    Hopefully Mid will log in before LR. His past bannings were hilarious and I would love to see him "nail Trident like a fucking pinata". Trident, if you're reading this, in the words of Midknight, "Prepare to get OWNED, bitch"

    Err...hi, fucktwat. And goodbye. Even if you aren't Trident, that was a stupid, useless post to make, and I'll feel not a second of guilt in seeing you gone. :'(

    I'd venture a guess that this is not in fact the real Trident but a pathetic troll who has nothing better to do than study posting styles of a Hall of Shame-er to annoy us. Or it could really be Trident. Either way, they need a serious psychoanalysis (I blame inadept parents) in RL and, meanwhile, treatment via banstick.

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    Trident, if this is really you, he is not fucking talking about you. So shut the fuck up.

    Tridentcupspeaker, I really hope this isn't you. If it is, then you better be prepared for hell. If it isn't the infamous Trident, then the name itself signifies that you are probably not willing to become a viable part of our humble community. I suggest you just get the fuck out, whoever you are, to at least spare yourself a public humilation and banning. If you meant your name as a joke, it's not funny whatsoever. Take DLR and other's advice and leave, stfu, and preferably get help.

    LOCKED.

    This was a pointless bump to a dead conversation and a touch of flamebaiting with just as much pointlessness. Bitching at people and asking admins to ban them is best done in a private message to an admin. Posts in threads should be about the topic of the thread within reason. This discussion ended over a month ago.

    If Yarrgh gets another plagiarism issue, he can start a new thread.
