    This was pointed to me by a reviewer.

    If you're familiar with my work at all, you might recognize large chunks of the first and second chapters, as they were basically cribbed word-for-word from my story Renegade Cause.

    I gave him one warning to take it down, and it's still up. Already reported.

    DLP, do you have my back against this shit?

    You might maximise the number of people who report the fic if you make it so that they don't need to go looking for information. Especially as you don't have links in your sig.

    Renegade Cause story ID would be good. As would be some examples of lifted text.

    Here's the report I sent:

    Good idea, did an additional report for the second chapter, where his story cribs chunks of mine from Chapters 2 and 3.

    What I find kind of amazing is how he has added spelling mistakes and shitty grammar, to say nothing of sloppy dialogue, to make the opening chapters worse.

    It has been a while since I last reported something. I am embarrassed to admit I cant find the button, or it doesnt show on my phone.

    Took me a bit to find it as well, Rep. It's under the Actions button at the bottom of the chapter, next to Share and Follow/Favorite. Select Report Abuse and go from there.

    Report sent, Silens,

    Well, glad that turned out better than expected. I've gotten no responses from him, so either ffn.net took it down or he pulled it.

    Thanks everybody for your support, glad to know DLP has your back when you need it.
