Man... I didn't know that plagiarism was a big problem in the HP fandom. I see it frequently in the Sailor Moon fandom, but it's actually rather fun, as the SMRFF forum has a tendency to lay into these people with great wit and snark. Should I post some excerpts sometime?
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Has anyone written a backstory on Spike vamping Holden? If so I would really like to read it.

I'm not sure it is, honestly. It's more that it's happened a couple of times, and some people blow it out of proportion. Although the fact that a large part of the fandom rallied around Cassandra Claire didn't help their reputation any.

I would so become an HP fan posting to LiveJournal for that "It's spelled PLAGIARISM!" icon...

Someone hacked the site Shippers United to put up an anti-war message.

Gah! That must be quite a blow for Twilite (the archive owner). I had some of my stories there, and I used to do HTMLing and permission getting in the early days (like a few months ago). Gah.

I think they're still in the process of figuring out what's recoverable.

Yeah-- that'll be quite a process, I guess. With luck, it'll just be the front page that's been replaced.

I think someone in Twi's thread about it on the LJ said he was able to get to the message banks without a problem, that everything behind the page seems to still be there.
So, while we're up and discussing War, Fandom, and Wank...
sj mentioned an urge to read/find some Spike-turns-Holden. I KNOW I've read that somewhere... anyone able to Nilly us a link?
