It has come to our attention that there has been an instance of plagiarism by user
jrh927/jillyree who was/is a member of the
CSI fandom. A story that was posted ONLY to this community was plagiarized word-for-word and used in another fandom. Since the discovery of this plagiarized material, the community moderators have found several other instances of this author stealing the work of members who post on this site. She has been
banned from this community.
Now that I've written it out formally, I'll say that this author stole one of my pieces (found
here) and simply replaced the character names to suit the fandom she was writing in. Needless to say, I am not amused. In fact, I'm g-damned pissed-bordering-on-crazy that this woman has been copying not only my work, but the work of other respected, dedicated authors who have shared their work with us here at
geekfiction. I'd also like to thank
doom_cherries for bringing this to our attention.
We would like to encourage you to review her work and see if you recognize any other instances of plagiarized material. She posts at the following sites:
http://www.csi-forensics.com/viewuser.php?action=storiesby&uid=1866http://mtt.just-once.net/fanfiction/viewuser.php?uid=994http://www.fanfiction.net/u/778225/jrh927http://www.twilighted.net/viewuser.php?uid=66388http://www.jellostapler.com/the-office-romance/jim-and-pam.htmlIf you indeed do encounter other stolen materials posted by this author, we encourage you to alert us at geekfiction@gmail.com.
Lastly, it's a little unbelievable that anyone would be dense enough to glean work from many different people in the same fandom as though no one would eventually come across it. How pathetic and unoriginal must one be to continually plagiarize FAN FICTION? It boggles our minds here at
geekfiction and we hope this is the last we have to hear of such utter nonsense.
Reminding everyone that plagiarism won't be tolerated,
