[plagiarist psa]
so it has come to my attention that bts “writer” @nochuings has been plagiarizing stories from other fandoms (mostly from the 100′s bellark fics and also the avengers). here are the fics in question:
obedience > bucky’s game by wolveria (Published: 2019-11-08)
electric love > give me your armour (and you can have my heart) by arysa13 (Published:2019-11-19)
this love > voted most likely to run away with you by arysa13 (Published: 2020-01-3)
only fools fall > heatwave by @evansweaters
hurt road > but i always will by selflessbellamy (Published:2019-01-12)
i’m pretty sure their whole masterlist is plagiarized but its hard to find the original when names have been changed and it went from 3rd person to 2nd.
we have to look out for fic writers in other fandoms because imagine how tired we all are of this!! if someone is posting multiple 10k wc fics in such a short amount of time, check a line or two to see if has been plagiarized! the original writer will be so thankful for it!!
and a warning for plagiarists/future plagiarists: you will be caught!! SO STOP DOING IT!
It has just been brought to my attention (thanks, @deehellcat!) that someone by the pen name of J.D Geraghty and Plush Books has copied one of my fics and published it as an original book on Amazon. I was told it was We'll Always Have New Orleans, but I couldn't actually find that one on their list. I did find The Wolf, though. They didn't change anything, even the summary is the same (even the font on the "cover").
This person has HUNDREDS of books on Amazon. On the supernatural/vampires/werewolves section alone I saw other KC stories, even one I recognized by @willowaus (being sold on print form as well). So I highly suggest that anybody with published fics out there, be it on tumblr, wattpad, AO3, anything, check this person's profile on Amazon. A quick twitter search showed me they've been identified as stealing stuff from other fandoms as well. There are definitely some Teen Wolf and other Vampire Diaries stuff there. Some of it seems to be rather recent (The Wolf was published on Amazon this November). They've also published some of this stuff on Barnes and Noble.
I am trying to figure out how to file a plagiarism complaint on Amazon. The form is not really that intuitive, so I'm not sure how to do it exactly. If anybody has dealt with this before and has any idea on how to address it, I'm all ears. I would really love some tips on how to procede here, because I have no clue and am kind of in shock right now.
Also, would really appreciate a reblog here so that other authors out there might become aware of their stories being stolen.
anon also made me aware of the page who exposed them !! Of course do not go send any hate to their page, don’t try and shit on the loser by becoming a loser, just report (unfortunately i forgot to do so) and block !!
take care ml’s n stay safe !!💗💗
PLAGIARIST ALERT: FANDOMS GALORE
PLEASE SHARE
On 6/21/2023, it was brought to my attention that @fandoms-forever-united and @fandomsgalore-backup took my Bakugou nightmare stories and used them in a YouTube video without permission. I kindly messaged them and asked them to remove the video.
I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because they did credit me (wayyyyyyy down at the bottom of the YouTube description with several blank spaces but ya know…). BUT CREDIT DOES NOT EQUAL PERMISSION.
They said they would. They did not. They privated it. When I called them out on this and asked them to please delete the video, they ignored me and PUT IT BACK UP. So I put in a request to YouTube to copyright strike it, and let them know I would be going through ALL their videos and alerting all the writers who worked they used without permission which was A LOT.
Unfortunately, tumblr saw how many messages I was sending and locked down my inbox and askbox. I have since put in a support ticket but this blog is still mostly on lockdown and I cannot get to those messages nor can the folks who I messaged see them.
While I was doing this, Fandoms Galore was making videos whining about how they're somehow a victim in all this and that they are making back up accounts in case they lose their channel/blog.
Their comments are full of sympathizers who don’t believe they did anything wrong and think that I am going after a small creator who is just enjoying my work. This is not a witch hunt; this is Fandoms Galore paying the price of a lesson that could have been resolved by deleting the videos of work that WAS NOT THEIRS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO USE.
But this is not the first time they have done this and it was not "a couple of years ago" either. They plagiarized work as early as this January that we could find. My work that was used in a video was 7 months ago. I didn’t even get to my own video before tumblr locked my blog down so several videos were made using work WITHOUT PERMISSION prior to 7 months ago.
I come baring receipts that they have had their account taken before on tumblr for PLAGIARISM. We have a repeat offender y'all. They are only going to keep making accounts and chasing clout off the backs of other writers.
They are still "in the process" of "deleting" videos. I believe Fandoms Galore is saving all these videos to be reposted on a new channel if any copyright strikes make it through in time. They have built a following off the backs of other people and are mad that they were found out. Don't let them keep taking our hard work and profiting off of it.
Some of the known people they have stolen from:
@kweenkatsuki, @vampyrsm, @citrus-simp (will update once my account is not longer locked down)
PLEASE CHECK THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND THE BLOG FOR YOUR WORK. AND BLOCK THE NEW BLOGS THEY MAKE SO THEY CANNOT USE YOUR WORK FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.

i was reading over some old essays that i’d written to see if i could steal parts of them for my current essay, and i am being 100% honest here when i say that one of The Best Feelings is reading your own writing and going “damn. that was a FANTASTIC line”
Why? Just why? Have you ever heard of plagiarism before? You have stolen somebody's work and claimed it as your own. That's disgusting. I hope the people you have fooled comes across this or any post talking about you and this work. YUTAHOLIC WAS THE OG WRITER EVERYONE. YUTAHOLIC. I've never read this and I don't plan to. I have seen yutaholic speaking about this on another account and I just want to say that I hope you can come to the realization that you should keep your promise about rewriting the fic (something you didn't do) or come out and say to EVERYONE you stole this.

Pairing: Jungkook / You Genre: one shot, fratboy!au, drummer!au, enemies to lovers!au Rating: M Warnings: slow burn, library sex, oral (f. and m. receiving), fingering, rough sex, unprotected sex Word count: 30.1k Summary: Jeon Jungkook is well aware that he’s the bane of your existence. He just loves to push your buttons and lives to see you all riled up. So, what happens then when he catches you swiping left on his Tinder profile during class?
Jungkook is late to his class. He’s not just late, he is terribly late. Running on two and a half hours of sleep and caffeine, he quickly dashes through the campus grounds to get to the building.
A few minutes later when he arrives, he quickly makes a decision to enter through the top part of the auditorium.
Once seated on one of the seats in the last row, he rummages through his backpack and puffs out a tired sigh. Great. He managed to shove in his water bottle, his drum sticks, a packet of chips and a protein bar this morning but not his notebook.
He then turns to the person on his right, surprise settling on him when he sees that his seatmate is none other than his favorite person to annoy.

i understand wanting to share how much you always hated everything somerton has ever said, really i do, but you guys. a lot of the work he plagarized is, actually, you know. good. some of it is seminal queer theory. you don't have to agree with everything, but it's worth engaging with those writers/creators' work directly before dismissing it outright because you were introduced to it through the shitty lense of a james somerton video.
BOOST!!
@hajunzi , you're really shameless, making my story into a three part series, word for word, then you gonna have the audacity to say "I wouldn't write incest if it wasn't requested, but something took over me and made me want to write this."
I'm pretty sure you're meant to say, "something took over you, and you decided to steal it." Yeah, that would've made much more sense.
If only you knew the orgins of the story, a one-shot I wrote for CORPSE HUSBAND before I even got into anime, and I decided that I would've have been so much better as a SATOSUGU story and you just stole it as if I didn't spend countless nights writing it, wrote over 10k+ words just to publish this story and went into depression right after because of the amount of rest I was receiving.
You have no respect for our work, our art. And as if stealing and making "MY STORY" into a three part series wasn't enough, you just had to steal @peachsayshi story too.
This is not fair so much time and effort just for our stuff to get stolen. And what hurts is that you never asked, because if you did ask me to use my story, I would've said yes to you and just simply asked that you give me credit for my work. But no... you took it own it as if it's yours.
I feel so disrespected.
