Plagiarism 101

So within the past hour or so, I have realized a ton of things.

A lot of plagiarism happens. Four users on one site have caught The Existing's attention. Please, please, check to make sure none of your work, or a friends, is being played off as someone else's.

http://www.wattpad.com/user/edwardstiger1 So far, two fics from this user's profile have been reported as fellow friend's stories.

http://www.wattpad.com/user/teddybearhailey Had MOTU on her account, and another under the name Never a Cullen. MoTU was removed, and comments are continuing to be deleted from her Message Board if they accuse her of stealing.

Quite frankly this is rather disturbing that author's are repeatedly getting their stories copy/pasted without credit to themselves. Plagiarism is a crime, please, fandom, don't do the mistakes these people are.

JaspersSexKitten, SnowQueen's IceDragon and all you hardworking authors out there, the ladies here at The Existing have your back.
