I actually saw this on Sunday... And I put it on my msn nickname for a couple of days...
Someone STOLE/COPIED my fic!!!!OMG!! I was so damn shocked! Who would have known that this kind of thing would actually really happen to me. That night, I was surfing through ff.net for more ideas on my new fic... and I came across this fic, with the same title as mine
(except mine was named 'Puzzles' and the one I found was named 'Puzzle'). The summary put something like he/she wrote it after watching the Puzzle doujinshi video on youtube. I was curious that someone had actually did the same thing I did, so, wanting to know how he/she wrote it, I clicked onto that fic. But after reading a few lines into the fic, I was stunned.
Why did it look so much like the one I wrote?It was freaking impossible! So I continued reading. And by the time I finish skimming through that fic, I was totally speechless. It really
WAS mine.
WTH?! There is simply no way two people who don't even know each other can write out completely similar fics with exactly the same plot and concept just by reading the same doujinshi! I opened my own fic and made a comparison. There were even word for word paragraphs and sentences! I can think of no other way to explain this besides saying that he/she had stole/copied my fic. The only differences that I can find, is that, he/she had removed almost half of my details and descriptions, replaced some words and divided it into 4 chapters, whereas mine was full and is an one-shot fic.
It was like that person had only copied my fic whole sale, paste it into Word, deleted all my details and alot of descriptions, edited some words and posted it as he/she's own. I had knew about the doujinshi video in youtube a long time ago, and that person who made the video did actually read my fic, and even posted the link to my fic on her video page, recommending it. I had known about this ever since I saw a review that actually says it, and I did went to confirm it.
It was like this person saw the link there, read the fic, like it, then did all those removing and editing and claim it as his/her own. This is totally unacceptable!! Even if it was only the flashback translation of the doujinshi I had done in my fic, they should have asked.
(I spent a lot of time translating it in full details!) I was so shocked that I kinda... screamed. Haha... And I went to comment that person on it, but he/she didn't reply
(expected... =.=)Oh well... there's this Japan fansite that I went to, the fics written there was really good... and they inspire me to start writing again... I was thinking of using some of the concept and ideas in there... so I ended up emailing that site master... but she still didn't reply me yet... Though, the chance that she might not reply at all is high... since I typed the whole email in English and she's Japanese... Zzzzz....
