because the world is full of *awesome* people

(That 'awesome' was sarcasm, btw)

bomb_bomb posted a story yesterday to wincest. Story is here.

In spite of the author's oh-so-classy Author's Note: This is my fic. I wrote it. Stop lying, you bitches., it's NOT HERS. It's a word-for-word (not even the names were changed! NOTHING is changed!) of Leonidaslion's Running to Stand Still.

The plagiarist is deleting comments people are leaving that call her out on her plagiarizing. Very classy, yeah?

The mods at wincest get kudos for their quick response to this.

Heh. In the time it took me to write up this post, she's deleted my comment and the three that came before it. But I have screencaps, oh yes I do.

Why can't people just write their own stuff, and not steal from others? Good grief.

ETA: The story is down now, and the plagiarist is claiming that it was all just a 'social experiment', because she wanted to see how fandom would react. *boggles* Her 'explanation' is here. I find it a bit hard to believe, myself.

*SQUEES* OMG. IT JUST GOT THAT MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL.

LOL I said you could delete my comment because it sounded a little crazy. :P You know? Like, get a phone call but on the other line it's just heavy breathing crazy. And that wasn't like my intention! *FLAILS*

You know what? I'm just going to stop. :) Yes, causette did an amazing job and I'm going to stare at it and keep refreshing your journal for at least ten more minutes. \o/

Nah, part of the fun of fandom is sharing the squee and the crazy. I've met some really awesome people just this way :)

Well I know that I'm pretty awesome. LOL JK *facepalm*

I do need to thank you. Somehow your journal and header and this crazy conversation has finally distracted me from the plagiarism thing (I'm no longer obsessively refreshing those pages every couple of seconds, yes! /o/) so now I can be productive. :P
