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:

Hee, no problem -- injury, or multitasking?

You know, I hadn't even done that; I'd assumed from some of the other stories that it had been reposted verbatim. Will check it out.

One hand for typing, one hand for trying to keep cat from falling off lap, and theoretically, but not practically, two eyes for typos...

The changes are a bit unsettling. I think the elegance of elynnitria's story was damaged (e.g. "big words" simplified) and I meant "precious" above in the sense of "flowery" rather than "valuable" ;-) I wonder if it is the same for the other stories. I'd like to hear what you think; I only did a quick read...
