I wasn't sure whether the undermistletoe fics were open for cross-posting so I didn't do it. Now I've been told cross-posting is fine but I'm not sure whether I should or not.

This is the fic which is allegedly plagairised. I'm a bit concerned that if I post it to all my usual communities it's just going to provoke people.

Incidentially, following on from my post yesterday it seems my invitation to get stop_plagiarism involved has been declined. She seemed reluctant at first because she didn't want me to look bad if they sided with her, but when I asked for an alternative solution she had nothing and said she would post to them.

She hasn't.

Hopefully that will be the end of it.

Incidentally I hope no one on here is stoneearth because it's really not helping me.

Ok, not over

The case has gone to stop_plagiarism and they are investigating. Essentially someone will read both stories and make a decision

danceswithgary has done a comparison of the stories

Looking at the definition of plagiarism I still maintain I have done nothing wrong

Plagiarised work is presented so that it is still recognisably similar next to the original work. For example, a scrap of dialogue, or an image/metaphor that is the same in two pieces is NOT plagiarism.

Little or no further thought goes into plagiarised work, ie. text has been copied and pasted, perhaps with some minor alterations. Shared theme(s) between two pieces is not enough to constitute plagiarism.

Presenting plagiarised work with basic alterations to character, setting etc. IS still plagiarism. For example, if a Buffy fiction was presented to the Harry Potter fandom.

It's essentially down to the mod though. Just have to wait and see what happens
