Some Bad News, I Think
Jan. 22nd, 2008 05:07 pm I was on the __vam community page about a month ago and clicked on a fic by jimisgirl4eva. I began reading it and I thought it sounded really familiar, so I came here to search for a fic called "When Worlds Collide" because I just thought it might be it. I went back and forth between chapters until I realized I was reading the same story. I was sure, especially when the author slips and uses "Viggo" at one point during the first chapter. I got pissed and commented several times, although I've checked and I don't think my comments made it, I think they were screened. Would someone here be so kind as to help me find out if this girl on __vam is the same original author *bahama_breeze77 under a different name, please let me know. Or else I would at least like to know it it is being plagiarized.
Here are links to her chapters:
Chapter 8- http://community.livejournal.com/__vam/3274136.html#cutid1
7- http://jimisgirl4eva.livejournal.com/1630.html#cutid1 You might have to highlight to read all of the ones below.
6- http://jimisgirl4eva.livejournal.com/1479.html#cutid1
5 & 4- http://jimisgirl4eva.livejournal.com/1228.html#cutid1
3 & 2 & 1- http://jimisgirl4eva.livejournal.com/ This is her journal, and you have to highlight for a good long while since it isn't under a cut.
I am very sorry for disturbing you all and taking up so much space, but I couldn't let this piss me off anymore. If this girl is an alias for the original author, I am very very sorry for coming here. Please know that I would not have come if I didn't think it was urgent, and that the __vam community is most likely completely unaware of this. Please don't hold them for blame.

Date: 2008-01-25 01:08 am (UTC)Hey...I want to thank you so much for bringing this to my attention...I would have never known otherwise. It is kinda a blow when you find out someone steals your work. I saw your post a couple days ago and quickly replied and when I got a spare minute I checked it again and saw that lots of people had replied to it. I'll thank them all, but I wanted to say thanks to you first! So anyway reading through all the comments, it's kinda overwhelming...I joined the Stop Plagerism site and all, but I wasn't sure if someone already wrote to them about it or not...do you know?? I just didn't know if I should send them a complaint or not if I'm just repeating what someone else has said. Sorry for rambling...but thanks again!
