Is she...like, very stoned? And if I declared that I was founding the Church of St. John The Munchkin and that haj was one of its tenets, and I'm very impaired and haven't been to Fell's Point and wish to pay my respects, could I get to visit the Balmeristas? (if so, I'm too fucking honest.)
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Cassie Claire: Long HP epics which lifted lines of dialogue from Buffy without attribution.
I forget what else, if anything, she got caught taking, but it got her kicked off ff.net. Yet her supporters are legion.

If I only had a brain...
CC retyped in LENGTHY sections of Pamela Dean, merely changing the nouns. Pamela Dean has forgiven her, but I haven't.
For the record, all of the RWA board but three (the holdouts including the President) have issued a formal apology for the ceremony.

I think it was Cassie Claire who took quotes from lots of sources -- Buffy, Red Dwarf, etc and so on and put them in the mouths of HP characters.

I think some amount of that is almost inevitable. It's not as if every two words that a given author puts together can be considered copyrighted for their use only. Just, y'know, be on the lookout for "I'm drowning in you, SummersWinters!" phrases popping up unconsciously.
