Latest Round-Up of Plagiarists...

UPDATED - 2.47pm Thursday 6th March 2008

Yep, it's that time again.

Here's some of the latest deadbeats, thieves and losers who go around the internet stealing other people's writing. I'm so sick and tired of having to waste my time chasing these people down.

Shame on you.

You know, I may not be much, I may not be THE SHIT, I may not even be that good, but, even if I write utter shit, it's MY utter shit.

You use it – you put my name on it. Or you WILL be exposed.

It's not difficult, is it?

Didn't yo' mamma ever tell you that stealing was wrong?

TWAT OF THE MONTH AWARD goes to . . .

Drum roll, please...

This guy is just unbelievable.  He claims to be 27 but on THIS SITE he's actually 43. He begins his plagiarism on his profile and carries it through on pretty much every post he's got. Not just my work either. He's also using some of renowned erotic writer M. Christian's work and, by the looks of it, some of White Wolf Publications Vampire the Masquerade sourcebook material also.

This is the same twit on another site, using part of my short story THE BLOOD BLOG as a reply to a question on vampirism and blood drinking on a forum at Unexplained-Mysteries.com. Unelievable! (CORRESPONDENCE SENT TO SITE)  CONTENT REMOVED

And again! Mr. Xtian! Using parts of my work and others on this site also.  Here's just one instance... (CORRESPONDENCE SENT TO SITE)

...re-writing DRAIN THE BLOOD and incorporating it into an epic poem, probably belonging to somebody else also. (He'd be quicker actually writing his own shit. The splicing must take forever!)

Yu-Gi-Oh fan fic - will I ever get over the shame?  Mind you, it's not quite as traumatic as the chick who turned my stories into Britney Spears and N-Sync/Justin Timberlake slash fiction.  Oh, the horror.  It still gives me nightmares.
