Greetings, members of the Bulbagarden forums. I'm here for one reason and one reason only: This jerk here took a fanfic I started two years ago on the Pokecommunity forums and posted it here last April under a different title. I am now trying to accumulate a post count of 10 so I can send a visitor message to his profile and speak my mind personally.

My fic: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=146381
Plagiarized fic: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=60297

I put my heart into that story, and I am most disappointed that it was stolen in such a manner.

PS: These forums are on the same web site that hosts Bulbapedia, right? I love that wiki!
 
Welcome to the forums!

I'm sorry to hear that plagiarism led you here. I'm a writer myself -- I know firsthand how devastating something like this can be. I hope that the matter can be resolved without too much conflict. Please be aware that you always have the option to report this person to the appropriate moderators or administrators, and we will do our best to help you. Attacking this user on your own, even for legitimate reasons, will only make you look like the bad guy, and you would also receive punishment.

I hope you choose to stick around after your conflict is resolved, and you enjoy your time here regardless.
 
I'm a writer also. Tell the Writer's workshop people. They will know how to deal with him/her.

Welcome!

Yeah, I realized that a few minutes after posting. I reported the thread, and I guess I can just let that guy live with his filthy conscience. Turn the other cheek and all that. My choice words for him would indeed have landed me in trouble.

Sorry, but I'm afraid I won't exactly be sticking around. I barely have time to be active on one Pokemon forum, so trying for two just isn't feasible. Sorry for causing a ruckus (small ruckus, but still). I was kind of mad.
 
Well, I'd usually make a joke, but I don't think now's a good time. Welcome, and sorry to hear about your story.
 
Don't let this incident tarnish your interpretation of this site. We don't stand for actions such as plagiarism.

Welcome, and I hope you stay for more, regardless.
 
Hi, sorry to hear of your terrible predicament :/ I hope you still have fun and come back though :D
 
Welcome to the forums. I'm not a writer, but, sorry to hear about that plagiarism.
 
Well...I feel sad all of a sudden. Anyway, welcome to the forums and I hope that you stay on the forums more often and not have a negative view on the whole forum.
 
Welcome!

Sorry to hear that happened.
I hope you get it resolved soon.
Well... if you become active, enjoy your stay.
 
Ouch. Plagiarism sucks, if someone ripped off one of my fics (never written much Pokemon stuff, but I've written a LOT for other series) I would... well, I wouldn't handle it as well as you, let's just say. :spin: Sorry to hear you don't plan on being very active, but I hope you have a good time whenever you drop in.
 
Welcome to the forums! Have fun and enjoy.
Sorry to hear about the plagiarism.

Thanks.

Just so that icomeanon6 doesn't get the wrong idea, I feel I should point out that immewnity is not a mod here and has no authority over the fanfic forum or anything else.


But, welcome to the forums, and I'm sorry that this happened. :(
 
Welcome to the forums! Sorry about your fanfic, I read it and it was really good! I like Gary's mom lol. Well, enjoy teh cookies.
