RULES<\/b><\/u>:

1. At least one member of One Direction must feature prominently in your prompt. Nick Grimshaw & Harry's hipsters, the girlfriends, the crew and friends of the band (who communicate with fans via Twitter) are also fair game for prompting.
2. Ship, friendship, no ship, any rating - go wild.
3. Format for prompts: character(s) - [prompt] - [notes]<\/b>. Multiple fills are lovely, mixes and art are wonderful.
(Make sure to include squicks and\/or rating preferences in the notes to help the writers make your day.)
4. The fourth wall is sacred.<\/b> Do not, under any circumstances, link any of the people whose public personas are mentioned in this post to the fest or any part of the fest, including participants, prompts and fills.
5. Anon is on<\/b>, no IP logging. If you're not civil, you'll be banned.
6. Feel free to pimp this on LJ and Tumblr.<\/b> If you pimp it on Tumblr, reblog this<\/a><\/b>. Don't tag it "one direction", please? Fourth wall and all that.

It was Ellen Page\/Ryan Ross and basically the most honest thing I wrote about what it's like when your male best friend is so rooted in your life that you don't know how to be mad at him. So: birthday fic for my best friend with a lot of really personal stuff in it. Kind of a big deal, yes?

Imagine my surprise when I was browsing <\/a>dangerbears<\/b><\/a><\/span>' 1D rec list<\/a> and came across the summary from Love Lockdown. The fic was posted directly to <\/a>one_d_fanwork<\/b><\/a><\/span> (only visible to members of the comm). The differences were the character names and the title, as well as minor things like taking out the name of a beauty product I mentioned in my fic. (It was actually an important detail, since it was an expensive gift from one main character to another and established the giver's attitude towards money and towards their best friend. But I guess this person didn't bother to google it. Research is something the author does, I suppose. The changes they made actually made "their" fic worse - compare on the other side of the bed, louis lay tangled in sheets sweaty with booze and other liquids, face scrunched up in a dream<\/i>. with On the other side of the bed, Ryan lay tangled in booze-sweaty sheets, face scrunched up in a dream. "<\/i>Sweaty with booze and other liquids?" Seriously? Is it that hard to grasp that it was a symptom of the character's hangover, not a random description I typed to fill the page? Not to mention everything that was lost in translation between fandoms. But I digress.)

You can see the plagiarized fic here - turning all those good hearts away<\/a><\/b> (or here<\/a> at that person's journal), download a screenshot here<\/a>, or get the full text for comparison here<\/a>. The plagiarized fic doesn't use capitalization. ...maybe it felt like actual writing if they typed it out? :))

The person who posted it is <\/a>ruinswood<\/b><\/a><\/span>. I don't know\/can't be bothered to look for her other fics, but my guess is that mine isn't the only story she stole. [eta: confirmed]<\/b> Someone with fewer deadlines than me should look into that.

For the record, I still love my corner of this fandom to distraction. And I'm flattered that <\/a>dangerbears<\/b><\/a><\/span> recced it even in that diluted form. :D

UPDATES:
- a mod post<\/a> about plagiarism that links back to this entry at <\/a>3point5seats<\/b><\/a><\/span>, because this happened in our own fannish backyard :(
- one of <\/a>ruinswood<\/b><\/a><\/span>'s plagiarized fics was suspended, pending deletion (<\/a>lifeasacloud<\/b><\/a><\/span>, the author of the original fic, notified LJ about the situation)
- via <\/a>jedusaur<\/b><\/a><\/span> - the public LJ post<\/a> in which my fic was prompted on June 17, 2011 | Love Lockdown<\/i> on LJ<\/a>, with comments dated August 17, 2011 (nice one year anniversary, right? also, note that I spent two months working on this, grr)

- a report was submitted to <\/a>stop_plagiarism<\/b><\/a><\/span> about the three confirmed fics - link<\/a>
