    Some of you may recall a terrible story I wrote: HP and the Attack of the Clones.

    It's a Star Wars/Harry Potter crossover that somehow led me to this site after I found praise for it from here in one of the reviews left (unfortunate, I know).

    Needless to say, I loathe this story. I think it sucks and if any one wants to disagree, that's your right. For the purpose of this evilness, I will simply say that I would feel better if it was never posted.

    But here's the kicker.

    Someone plagiarized it.

    Star Wars Episode I:5:Jedi Wizard (or someshit) By Knightblazer85.

    If you have the actual courage to read through both, I admire the balls but I don't even need to post my own opinion to show he's plagiarized without my permission - it says this at the top of Chapter 4:

    Wow. Unless I'm mistaken, that's like a confession and I'm really surprised this story's still around 2 years later. Maybe I'm delusional (I do ship H/HR) but isn't that grounds for account deletion?

    But "a little" is a bit of a lie, you see. Because there's something humorous. If you read Interlude II: Oath of the Padawan in AOTC and Chapter 4 of this equally disastrous fanfiction story, you will notice the code is, word for word, the exact same thing as in AOTC.

    Here's the funny thing. That code is bullshit. I made it up by mangling the real Jedi Code. For all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist anywhere in Star Wars EU.

    Some other interesting things:
    - Rather identical prologues/chapter I's
    - The Anakin/Harry relationship
    - The Yoda/Harry relationship
    - The turn-the-Gryffindor sword into a two-sided lightsaber with a red beam.

    So here's where the "I'm feeling mean" streak comes in.

    This guy has written 11 stories, a lot of words and even has a... rather weak following but a following nonetheless.

    If you're interested in participating in taking down a cunt, then all you need to do is press "Report an Abuse" in the knightblazer85 story. (I am Murkwurdigeliebe so don't fucking report an abuse of me, you cunts).

    The drop down menu and 'uploaded work does not belong to the author'. Then deliver a tiny message about plagiarism and what-not. Whatever. I've always seen people I enjoy reading on the receiving end of these account closures. I want to see if a real case of plagiarism and abuse is taken seriously by these fucktards at FF.net.

    No skin off my back. I had been about to delete AOTC anyway.

    Take him down. This guy has a history of plagiarism, he took nearly word for word, almost a whole chapter (of which I've only written two) of my story Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Trials; this happened last year maybe? Midknight reported him after I created a thread about it. If he's still doing it, this guy just needs to be banned from FF.net. What a bitch. You'da thunk he'd learn the first time.

    Link to my thread...and yes he was one of my favourite crossover authors back in the day. And I'm ashamed.

    Reported. Seriously though, your HP-SW crossover is admirably written. It's kind of like LT2000 disliking Dakaath because/though everyone else doesn't.

    Report sent. That bastard better have either his account banned or his story erased. It would make my day. I hate plagiarism with a passion.

    I can see it now, a whole slew of authors being banned from FF.net for their plagarism by the almighty fist of DLP. A bit too dramatic I suppose, but it sounds like fun!

    Abuse report sent :D So, if DLP is going to be the voice against blatant fanfiction plagiarism, who is going to make our cool anti plagiarism buttons?

    I'd rather use a spoon-fork(notice the hyphen), spork, to the lepers.

    Yeah, I seriously snorted at ones like this:


    There were some five of these on the one review page I checked. (The rest being of 'liek oMg! Updato!!' quality.)

    I also sent a report. I hope they take it down.

    I sense a Readers Against Plagarism group in the near futere, and you can't forget the customary sig by Jon.

    God Damn 16th sense......

    We really should form a group to better FF.net. Like anti-plagiarism, adding slash warnings in summary etc. We always talk about these things in threads, but this time we should really do something about it.

    Will spaming FF.net admins work?
