Ooh, does that mean the version I'm looking for doesn't exist? Drat.

Well, obsessive that I am, I downloaded chapter by chapter, then decided to leave it as is and read it at home, because all the fun bolding and italics and all would have been stripped by my Palm software. Honestly, I don't know if it's out there.
But I'm on hte second read-through of Transfigurations. Palms are lovely.

I decree that everyone who posts a longass story should make it available somewhere as one single file.
So let it be written, so let it be done.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I think the Conncel of Connies is in agreement on this.

I have no idea how to hook my Visor up to the work computer and get text-y files. This will all be a moot point when I switch over to the shinyshiny iPod, as I still won't be able to upload text files, but I'll be able to have all my contact info on a little shiny toy that will store 5000 songs. Shiny candylike iPod, as Clovis would say.
I'm going to read Transfigurations on the bus tonight.

Neat! A Council of Connies! Is that like a murder of crows?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
When I was reading the rants, I assumed it was like the Cassandra Claire case, where someone took sections of a published work and claimed this as new.
Was CC the plagiariser or the plagiarised? I remember hearing something about a kerfuffle, but never got the details.

CC was the plagiarizer. Alleged plagiarizer, I suppose I should say, since I only know about the thing from secondhand accounts.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Micole posts here occasionally, and she went through a CC story and catalogued its textual similarities to a novel whose title I've forgotten. (It was a relatively obscure [published] fantasy novel, or obscure enough that I, not really a fantasy reader, had never heard of it.) I saw the two texts side by side, and it sure looked like plagiarism to me. I don't know if Micole's around and is willing to bring back fond, bilious memories of it all, but her research was some pretty damning evidence.

I think Jintian also went through a chapter or two of Draco Dormiens and pulled out all the references she recognized from TV shows like Buffy.
