Maybe I'm too cynical. Because the writing levels seem indeed a little different, and I guess it's quite possible and all...

Whew, took me awhile to find you! BUT No wonder I was getting so many nasty reviews from people, I got this story from my sister who I guess obviously took it from you, if it makes you feel any better, I deleted the story and yelled at my sister. I'm sorry! If I knew earlier that it was your story I would have never done it! T_T

But this is the oldest excuse in ther book and I have a vague feeling that someone thinks I'm stupid.

I think being thought of as stupid bothers me a hell of a lot more than having my fics copypaste-stolen.


girl says she turns 13 on August 21. i'm somewhat tempted to be petty and report her for not being 13 yet, but by the time FFnet gets to it, she will be anyway, so ehh. XD and it's really too petty.


ANYWAY, thanks to everyone for the help, but I'll be handling the fallout from here. The bulk of it is past, anyway. ^_^


(... I never thought I'd be wishing for something that really deserves to get frothing mad about. I haven't ranted up a storm in so long, woe. The vacation broke my snark! D: )

Ah the old, "my sister did it, not me" routine.

I used to try and pull that on my mum. When I was four. Didn't work on her either. ^^

wtf?

How old is her sister?!

I get to see that a lot on MMOs. "I didn't do it!" "I gave my password to X person, and they were the one who did it!"

Bluntly, people are responsible for their own account information, and anyone who knows it. Hey, at least it's over, right?

So basically, it's "I swiped it from my sister, not you"? Since she didn't attempt to credit said sister in the summary or author's notes. Lovely.

I'm reminded of a case my Dad was in once. The information about his company, which constituted part of the opposition's claims, was dead wrong by a good fifty years. When that little fact was brought up, with accusations of libel, the idiot lawyer in question defended himself with "but I plagiarized it!"

*hug* Well, if you want, here's an icon for whenever you do get frothing mad about something. [link] (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v238/gothicstargrl/iconthings/naruto_betterbelieve2.png) ♥

(The icon is technically one of my rants. XD;; I get twitchy every time I see/hear "Believe it! :D", because it's a damn mistranslation and VIZ KNOWS IT. BASTARDS.)

I've used that excuse before; it backfired.

A LONG TIME AGO: I used to vandalize the walls in my house and blame it on my younger sister, who at the time was unable to speak- It was an ingenius plan.. But then, my parents -obviously having figured it out- started praising her beautiful "art" and, well, let's just say I got a little jealous... I wanted the credit! Damn them! They tricked me!

So... her sister hijacked your fic for her to post as her own, and it would have been fine if it wasn't a BNF's yours? Am I the insane one here for not getting this at all?

I saw this (http://community.livejournal.com/fanficrants/3180513.html) on ffrants. Pretty easy to rant about. :D

it's like the old excuse: my doggy has eaten my homework!
do you really think you could fool any teacher with that?! =.=
(i'm sure she's an only child!)

Um, so it's wrong that your sister downloaded the story and gave it to you to post? But it wasn't wrong when you thought it was your sister's work and you were posting it under your name without any attribution? Whatever fucktard.

Some people...*shakes head sadly*
