Whether the accounts that are stealing and plagiarizing fics from MULTIPLE writers in the community are doing it to be trolls, gain clout, and whatever the fuck else they have on their agenda, it is deeply disturbing and disappointing to see.
Preemptively block and report @kiwiispunk & @pedroslakersshirt (if more accounts are found to be plagiarizing and stealing fics, I will update this post accordingly.)

Recently watched Abigail Thorn's new video, and a very specific part of the bit about plagiarism and men taking credit for the things that women have done really resonated with me. I am, of course, a woman, and I am involved in alot of male dominated communities, and in my time being in such communities I've realised that men don't even have to actively try and take credit for a woman's work for women to be erased from the story. As an example, anyone who has followed or looked at my blog at all knows that I paint alot of Warhammer miniatures, and I put alot of time, effort and skill into my hobby- collectively probably over a thousand hours assembling and painting models at this point, maybe drastically more. I often post photos of my work online- and, without exception, the people who comment on my photos just *assume* that I'm a man. I get comments all the time saying things like "Good job sir!!!" And "Fantastic work, man!!!!", and, while in some ways I at least appreciate the comment, the fact that my existence as a woman in the space is automatically erased from people's minds, and that it's instead attributed to some abstract "man" who doesn't even exist because I'm not male, fucking stings a little. And you can't even get out of this either- women who take photos of themselves with their models often get responses saying they're "doing it for clout" and are chided for using their gender to get fake reddit upvotes or whatever, and such comments often say "oh it would be fine if they just posted her models, let her models speak for themselves!" or whatever, completely ignoring the fact that they would just assume that a man painted it if her face wasn't showing. This effect is compounded if the woman posting photos with her models has like. Any boobs at all. Because of course.
Perhaps Warhammer (and other hobbies like it) is perceived as more male dominated than it actually is, simply because people just assume that the women who have always been here just don't exist.

THERE'S A THIEF AMONG US
I think I speak for many people when I say, I DISPICE thieves.
I find it absolutely disgusting that there are people out there who steal.
Someone else worked hard for the things they have and there you are, a slimy disgusting bug, stealing it.
@yautjabeast this one is for you, sweetie.
Or should I say POPPYTANJI123 ?!
The poster (because you are not the writer, hun) of Yautja Imagines off of Tumblr
I noticed recently while I was reading Wattpad that a supposed number 1 book is a freaking REUPLOAD.
How absolutely disgusting.
51 chapters of pure stolen content.
51 chapters most of them NOT EVEN CREDITED.
But it doesn't matter, since I saw NONE of the authors gave permission.
THE BOOK SHOULD BE DELETED.
YOU reuploaded other people's works and then decided to take credit for it, take likes for it and views!
HOW DARE YOU.
In one of your Wattpad posts you even ADMIT that @mintymarabell has too many and you won't copy that! your words! COPY.
Tumblr media
"Authors note"
You have balls... some kind of an "author" you are when none posted is actually yours!
People like you are the reason many amazing authors have stopped posting or deleted their blogs!
So many amazing works LOST. Because of people LIKE YOU.
DON'T DO THIS.
And if you are a follower/reader of the above-mentioned person find the actual writers and give them the credit. NOT the thieves.
And now, to credit all the authors like you are supposed to.
@thefoldedbird
@mintymarabell
@partofmycharm
@multific
After words:
If you like a post, you are not showing your support by stealing it and republishing it! You are doing the opposite.
You are harming their page by taking views and feedback from them.
This will NEVER BE OKAY.
And we, as readers have to stand up and do something about this kind of people!

The plagiarist deleted her tumblr so be on the lookout for a new one. Watch your follows and likes. It’s sad that such a warning needs to be put out but this is what she does. She deletes, makes a new one, and then does her usual thing.
Just do what you can to protect your work and the work of others because.

Hey friends 😊
I have been getting some messages and asks letting me know that my work has been plagiarized.
First. To you lovely people, I am so thrilled that you enjoy my writing enough to notice that lol. It was a small piece of my work and it means a lot that you care enough to want to protect it. I love you for that, truly.
Second. You will notice that I am choosing to not answer the asks or draw attention to the individual who is doing it specifically.
The reason for that is that I just don't want to give them any attention. They want to get a reaction for work they didn't create and I don't want to give them anymore attention than they already have. I sleep happy knowing the one thing you can't fake on this site is the day you posted. And if someone is copying your work to claim it as their own, it'll always be after you.
Third. To the person who is taking my work and potentially the work of others, I am hurt that my work is being taken. It doesn't matter how much time or effort I put into it. It wouldn't matter if it took three seconds to create or years.
It's not yours.
That being said. I, speaking only for myself, forgive you. I'm not holding hate in my heart over something like this.
Fourth. Moving forward. I have spoken to the person stealing my and others work. That conversation did not end in the way I would have preferred and they will be blocked in order for me to attempt to protect my work.
That is what will happen moving forward as well if others do the same and take my work. I would love to share my work with everyone however it does matter that work be credited to the originator and changes will be made to do that.
I appreciate you letting me know if things like this continue to occur on other accounts so I can address it with the person privately. I will not be answering asks that have this information because I don't want the person stealing it to get more attention. But I do appreciate the few that have reached out to me to tell me that way ❤️
Thank you for reading and your support. I am so happy with the amazing community and friends that this fandom has brought me. This would be a lot harder without you.
-Lis

i know im a bit late for the plagiarism video, but i thought id toss my thoughts to sea of what other people have said already.
while a lot of the essay had me angered and frustrated about the creators discussed, i lost it at the section titled ‘the cost.’
creative work is some of the most valuable things humankind has to offer. it is genuine, moving, and comes from the soul. it takes time - hours, days, months, years of work. all that effort and yet, most of the time, its not even recognized.
because even if creative work is valuable, people don’t treat it as such. instead, they treat it as if its replaceable. as if it never mattered in the first place. people steal work all the time. it perpetuates this idea that it doesn’t matter if you steal creative art, that the time, effort, and heart put into those projects don’t matter. that all that work is just a public commodity. but it isn’t. and yet no one seems to understand that but creatives - whose voices are constantly drowned out and silenced.
people who put their soul into those works won’t ever make the money that james did. they won’t ever get the amount of fame he did - the amount of credit. no, they might just stay in the pool of people who have been stolen from. and that’s what’s so incredibly frustrating. we need to think about the lives involved in the work - the people. we need to think about the people’s whose work has been stolen and profited from. we need to think about queer & minorities creators who have their work used by others as a stepping stone, erasing queer and minority presence in the creative world.
creative work is human. it is special. it can never be replaced. and yet there’s a concerning rise in the amount of people fighting against these facts.
in the end of the day, there are millions, if not billions, of people who have been stepped on, abused, stolen from, and left to rot throughout the course of history - and their stories are never told. their names aren’t remembered. but we remember the thieves - the abusers.
the cost of what james did & plagiarism as a whole is people. people who some will forget. but you shouldn’t forget. you should remember them - the people who are beautiful, talented, and deserve to been seen. uplift them and support them. remember them.

Started watching the James Somerton apology video, and like first of all: I am sorry that the original exposé videos blew up so much that he got death threats from chronically online people who need to touch grass and I am sorry for the emotional turmoil caused by having hordes of people come out for you.
However, why is this video 40 minutes long and going over what sounds like excuses? All the world needed, all that should have been said is: Yes, I plagiarized. Yes, that was wrong of me. Yes, I am taking full responsibility for my actions and acknowledging that the backlash, while at times extreme, did come from a valid place and did address actions I knowingly committed. I violated the intellectual property of other people and took advantage of the hard work they devoted to their content. Because of these actions, intentionally or not, poverty or not, head injury or not, desperate or not, adhd or not, I used my platform and visibility to exploit their content without giving them credit and allowing them to reap the benefits of the success their work afforded me, often at the expense of the success they should have received.
I understand the stress and personal issues he experienced, and how these can have unintentional consequences, but like—that doesn’t change what the real issue the plagiarism controversy originally brought up. It only adds context and attempts to subvert what should have been the highlight of this video: the actual and deliberate/seemingly deliberate plagiarism which he used to build his brand and which as a content creator and as a part of the content he created, means he created.

Reblogging vs Reposting
If you're trying to get someone recognition, then reblog the post or comment on it. You can also share the link so it goes back to the original poster. Likes only bookmark work for yourselves.
Do not repost the work.
Reposting is when you save images or copy work/words & paste them into a new post. This is also known as plagiarism and can be considered a felony. Reposting does nothing for the original poster. Instead, it gives you the credit.
Plagiarizing isn't okay. It doesn't matter if you changed some of the words or not. The story could be 5 words, 20 words, 300 words, or over 1.3k words. You could repost 1 image, 3 images, or a whole blog of images. It doesn't matter. It is still plagiarism.
If you aren't sure about your writing skills, then watch videos. Just write your thoughts and go back to edit them. Do something that isn't plagiarism, please.
Some creators don't mind you using their images as long as you give them credit but do not repost them.
DO:
Reblog
Comment
Share The Link
DON'T:
Don't Repost
Don't Copy Work/Words
Don't Save Images and Post them Without Proper Credit
Don't Put Work Into AI (Artificial Intelligence)

With everything going on with people being assholes, plagiarizing, and then gaslighting those they plagiarized from?? Absolutely appalling behavior.
Just wanted to kindly remind everyone that I give NO ONE the permission to repost or claim my fics as their own.
Writers work their fucking asses off on their fics and it often takes weeks, sometimes months and years to write something! Plagiarizing isn’t cool, it never will be. And if this were an academic setting? Y’all would be getting in so much DEEP trouble.
I don’t care if you’re new to the community or been here longer than I have, do not steal another writers hard fucking work.

Sorry if this comes off as aggressive, but I’m going to disappear from fanfiction writing if I find out someone made a binding of my FAKE, NON-CANON STORY on Etsy. I support creators of shows and games and shit and I’m not going to support some asshole who decided “oh, well, fanfics are free, I’ll just sell copies of them.” FANFIC AUTHORS ARE GETTING SUED BECAUSE OF YOU PEOPLE! STOP IT! We’re trying to express out writing to others and people like this are just going to kill the whole point of writing fanfiction altogether! If you want to sell a book so bad, write your own and post it on kindle or something! Don’t take other people’s works!

Just letting you know, this blog @rorygillmore911 stole one of your pieces
https://www.tumblr.com/rorygillmore911/731326975916048384/unsub-bait?source=share
Thank you for letting me know! This is totally unacceptable. I spent a lot of time writing it.
Is there anything I can do to get it taken down? If anyone has any advice, please let me know.

The plagiarist has a google doc of her works and just denied me access to it since I’ve been watching the updates.
Smfh.
If you’re not doing something shady, you wouldn’t give a fuck that people are watching.

People are missing something in the YouTube algorithm conversation: YouTube rewards fast content *that people want to watch*. That’s why plagiarism and content theft is so easy and lucrative. That’s why they did it. That’s why content farms will keep doing it. Until people stop clicking, anyway.
That’s also why people who can no longer ‘keep up’ eventually make *blatant factual errors* that harm their relationship with their audience (eventually irreparably) and then blame the algorithm for their frustration and dwindling viewcounts.
I have seen this happen at least six or seven times, but given the short memory of internet users, it’s probably more like dozens.
It’s why if you search Illuminaughty on YouTube (with correct spelling) her channel no longer comes up, only videos about her do. People stopped clicking.
