Plagiarism is bad, kids. Not to mention stupid when you do it online.

Heads up, Housefic writers: awwsugah has been reposting other people's stories on her MySpace and passing them off as her own. She's got stuff by daasgrrl, cryptictac, maineac, isagel, soundship, evila_elf, genagirl, jaryn_, elynittria, sam_storyteller, and others. (Not me, though. I guess my stuff isn't good enough. Heh.) See cryptictac's post for an in-progress roundup.

ETA: Example, now that the blog has been locked:

Yep, that about sums it up. It's just plain idiotic, not to mention rude, to plagiarize fics not only from people in your community but also from people you've friended and who have friended you back, as if someone isn't going to notice.

Me neither, apparently. Hee!

*g* See above comment to Corgigirl. Do you feel left out?

I feel like a special snowflake.

Maybe we can get icons for our fics that say: "Rated not theft worthy by assugah."

Heh. Would that be one of the new "fandom-rated [fill in the blank]" substitutions for the banned American Motion Picture Association ratings? Only I think FRNTWBA would have too many letters.
