Dear Leila,
Thank you for your support and I am very grateful. However, with the flamer's story removed, I thought it best to close the thread. The thread opens up some pretty heated debate and I thought that it would be best to put it behind us now that the culprit is gone.
Love
Scribe |

Unfortunately, this issue may not be closed. The person who did the filching used the pen name "Gilraen" right? Or something like that?
Someone using that pen name has recently done exactly the same thing, stealing Miriel's story "Complications" and reposting it on the Of Elves and Men archive. The site has removed the thief. But she has defended herself in her livejournal and appears patently unapologetic.
If anyone here runs an archive or knows someone who does, please be on the alert for this sort of behavior and screen very carefully.
We may be writing derivative fic, but durn it, it's *our* derivative fic.

Viv - Can you tell if 'Gilraen' is a native english speaker?
There was an inncident with someone using this pen name at a Rumil Fanfic Community and i wonder if this is the same person? The Gilraen i refer to, is from Hungary/Italy and was passing off work not her own to compensate for that (Grrrr!). We assumed it was a one off/misunderstanding.
I would hate to think its happening again!

Yes, it is the same person. I checked out her site and followed the link there to Rumil's corner. I noted that you also posted there. Please send me a private message and tell me about the incident. (please let Viv know as well.)
Despite all the tears that this girl has been crying, I'm beginning to think that this is a seriel plagiarist. I'm also wondering whether her writing partner is real or not?
Whatever you do, please do not flame her. It doesn't help, she just uses the posts for sympathy.
With my story, she was a little bit more careful. She took the story and changed the main character. she rewrote the beginning but kept in a lot of the lines. She also jigsaw puzzled two seperate smut scenes together.
She posted it at a site where I use a different name, and hence was not aware that I was a member. |

I know for sure that this person (Gilraen) is a 22 year old girl from Italy.
She still pledges her innocence (which is hard to believe since she didn't only plagiate plot but LINES and scenes)
I am still very upset about this, specially since this person implied she had been flamed and harassed by Miriel and friends, which I don't think applies.
Looking forward to hear if we are talking about the same person ...

That little Shazbot!
I lost out in a comp to her! Now i wonder if it was because her entry was actually written by one of you! (  Would explain how she beat me!! takes the envy away!)
The incident to which i refer is public knowledge. Will post here if allowed or PM anyone who wishes to know.
Her own friends have abandoned her - said shes mental.

Wow, I saw this on Fandom Wank, but didn't realize that it struck so close to home. This Gilraen's cries of, "It was all an innocent mistake!" are starting to ring rather hollow.

Are you asking if the one who stole Scribe's fic is the same culprit? I don't remember if she went by Gilraen... but I seem to remember she was not from Italy.

YES, HER NAME WAS CALLED 'CALL HER GILRAEN'. So I'm guessing she's back to her old tricks huh...well so much for being compassionate at some 15 year old's foolishness.
Christ.
What does it take to wipe this vermin from the face of the literary world? |

Okay, nevermind my earlier request. I found both her website and live journal. Little twat that she is. It really burns me not to give her a piece of my mind.
Anyhow, looking at her stuff and what Scribe's thief had as a teen blog ('cause I managed to track that down last time), they look like two different people. Scribe's thief was an Orlando nut. This one looks like a Sean Bean fan to me. She also 'looks' older.
But I could be wrong. Anyway, same person or not, it's unacceptable behaviour.
do.

And here I thought I could be eligible ... I really do like Sean/Boromir (also Bronski *sigh*) but I am a little bit more partial to elves ...
