I don't think it is the same author. God, this is getting dumb.

Let's just hope she doesn't find another story to steal.

Hi Everyone. This is my first time posting here and it is a result of listening to the latest podcast (ep. 19). I think it's awful that Claire was plagiarized. I'm not sure how many of you are aware but lately plagiarism has escalated on the fictionpress site (the sister site to fan fiction dot net where authors post original work). Many authors there are finding both their original stories and their fan fiction stories (not just Twilight) being stolen. I just wanted to make you all aware that this is becoming an increasing problem for many that post their work to public sites such as fanfiction.net. There is currently a petition out to fictionpress in order to fight plagiarism requesting that fictionpress remove the copy and paste capability. Since fictionpress and fanfiction are similar, they may take action. Now, I didn't start this petition and I'm not sure if it will do any good but in light of seeing this happen to Twilight fan fic authors, I thought I would post the link: www.petitiononline.com/stopfp/petition.htmlI'll finish by saying please keep an eye out for any plagiarism offenses out there and report them immediately. Stealing is never acceptable. -amata

I don't understand it either. Popular stories have large followings. Someone will find out if that story is ever plagiarized. There's one thing I've learned in this fandom and it's don't mess with a popular story or your ass will get burned. ...not that I'm talking from experience or anything... I was thinking about this and it reminds me of what Mrs.TheKing's Alice says in one of the later chapters of Poughkeepsie. She talks about why she whores herself out to so many guys and her explanation is heartbreaking. Basically, in those few moments before you're about to do the deed, you are that man's whole world. It's all about you and him loving you for those few short minutes. I think of fanfiction plagerism the same way. It gives you that small thrill of accomplishing something even though it's a false feeling. People praise you and you feel loved up until that moment when you're discovered. It's ridiculous and you'd think after so many times of the guy humping then jumping you'd learn that it's never real, but some people just need that fix. It's like those bullies that put other kids down because their home life sucks. I don't know. I mean, I don'y in any way, shape or form condone plagerism, but I thought I'd maybe shed some light on the other side??? Wow, this is stupid. If you're going to plagarize, at least do it right. It's so obvious, it's laughable. Lmao! That comment reminds me of every time I watch CSI or Criminal Minds. If you're going to commit murder, do it the right way, dang it! I swear, criminals are really dumb.

I don't get this at all.
If you can't write, don't. Plenty of people on FanFiction don't write their own stories, they just read others'. Why can't these dolts just be happy with that?
And to pick such a popular story... The whole idea is an error code in the computer that is my mind.
Excuse the loopiness, it's like 3 am...
