the “author” that plagiarized @theseinfernalangels and my own work is sweet_scarlett_angel on ao3, sweetscarlettangel on wattpad, and sweetscarlettangel on tumblr.
please do NOT support this “author.”
i cannot talk for their asoiaf or their other works, but it is very clear they plagiarized my own work and @theseinfernalangels work.
here are the links to the “author” who has copied our work:
ao3 - direct link to the work
this is not a witch hunt. pls do not attack this author. i simply do not wish for them to have a platform or support on a work that is clearly, heavily plagiarized word for word on many occasions.
here is the link to the evidence collected. it may not be complete and i may have missed things:
i debated on exposing the name, but after realizing it goes beyond me, i decided calling them out is the best course of action.
both of the original works were posted before the copied work.
both original works do have similar themes and tropes, however, both are original and do NOT copy each other word for word. that is how inspiration or similar ideas work.
that is NOT how the copied work is.
plagiarism is extremely harmful, and can make those who write not want to write.
this entire incident has made me unmotivated to continue writing not only the plagiarized work, but also my other original works.
the ideas and prose they stole are near and dear to my heart, including the passed away mother’s leathers and the emotional core behind it because my own mother passed away. the healer to rider arc is near and dear to my heart because i am a nurse and i wondered how someone who only wanted to heal was forced to become something they never thought they’d be. i wanted to explore that.
i’m not claiming rights to those emotional cores or engines, but there is a clear reason why i wrote them and blatantly copying it and simply inserting it in without the emotional core behind the why feels extremely wrong to me.
please do not support “authors” who do this. give your time, kudos, and love to the original authors.
