Original

Thanks to the efforts of almostnever, who uncovered the plagiarism and telesilla, who has been kind enough to unlock her post with almostnever's conclusions:

The story The Reluctant Princess by jdr1184 has passages taken from rageprufrock's Bell Curve and toomuchplor's Waiting For My Real Life to Begin.

In almostnever's LJ: Comparison of The Reluctant Princess by ldr1184 to Rageprufrock's and ToomuchPlor's Stories In Tables!

In telesilla's LJ: Comparison of The Reluctant Princess by ldr1184 to Rageprufrock's and ToomuchPlor's Stories

...that wasn't even subtle, yo.

Just in case, screenshot of jdr1184's fic here, unlocked at time of posting.

Someone in XF just plagiarized about a dozen entire stories which were enormously popular in XF fandom back in the late 90s. (They were all by Maria Nicole, one of my betas.) The plagiarist apparently thought that, hidden as she was on FFN, nobody would notice.

... woops. *g*

Fans have long memories.
