Plagiarism Alert

So some stupid whore on fanfiction.net plagiarized word-for-damned-word my story 101 Ways To Get Lucky (In Love).

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3383303/1/101_Ways_To_Get_Lucky

She turned it into One Tree Hill (blech!) and het, which is so NOT the point of the story. MY TWO DADS, you stupid bitch. God, she didn't even change the title. I repeat: stupid whore.

Yes, I'm a little angry. It's not the first time I've been plagiarized, but this is probably my favorite fan story I've ever written, so it makes me even more furious than I otherwise would have been. To make matters worse, the only way I can contact her is either through a review or private messaging. I actually signed up for stupid drivel.net just now, so I could lambaste her. But they don't let you send messages for 24 hours after you sign up. I did report her to the abuse team over there, and I left a "you're busted" review. If you guys wanted to go jeer at her, I wouldn't be averse to that.

Also, she stole other people's work, "Unidentified" by fiercelydreamed for one. I'm sure there are others. I didn't specifically recognize anything, but you all might.

I would never have known this happened if someone hadn't left a comment letting me know. That person is my hero. The person who stole my story is, I'll say it one more time, A STUPID WHORE!!!

ETA: I forgot the best part of the whole thing. Her author's note! She talks about how she got this crazy idea for this really out-of-left-field AU. And she thanks her beta reader, Carly, whom she named the daughter for. She's not just a plagiarist. She's freakin' delusional!



Summary: AU in every conceivable manner that a story can be. Basically, throw everything you know about the show and its characters out, slam the door and swallow the spare key. Lucas Scott is smart, gorgeous, arrogant and on the brink of becoming head honcho of the business world. Except he realizes that he’s lacking the one crucial aspect that could topple all of his high hopes and lofty ambitions—a proper wife and family. And so in desperate need for a solution, he seeks it from single mom and author of the best-selling dating self-guide book, ‘101 Ways to Get Lucky (In Love)’, Brooke Davis. The story is pretty self-explanatory from here.

Author’s Note: This story will get updated and will turn into a running series of chapters and will evolve into a BrookeLucas story. I’m not exactly known for my consistency with stories but I can’t say I’ve ever been as excited about an idea as I am for this one so hopefully updates should be following promptly. I’ve also got the basic plan of how I want it all to play out already figured out so it should be a lot easier for me to stick to this one.

Also, I have to thank my beta and science consultant, Carly (after whom Brooke’s daughter is named). She pwns on so many levels, it’s astronomical.

Thanks and hope you enjoyed,

Katie

I hate her SO.

I went and read it. I have no idea who Brooke Lucas is or what series he's from but the dialogue is *so* obviously Rodney that it's ridiculous.
Can you tell me where to find your original, please. I need to clean the bad taste out.
*hugs* you.
If it's any comfort at all, it doesn't just happen to fanfic. Friend of mine on dA, a very talented artist who has done SGA work, found some of her other stuff appearing under another artists' name. She has a particular signature on her stuff which this bastard had Photoshopped out before claiming it as his own. Which is just *despicable*!

I always boggle when people just lift a story from one fandom and transplant it into another. The voices and characterization and just...the situation have absolutely nothing to do with the fandom they're writing in.

Here's the link to my story:

And, man, I feel bad for your friend. I can't believe someone actually photoshopped out her signature. That's stomach-turning.
