Plagarism and a update.

As some of you may or may not know, I read Fanfiction.
The main thing I read, is Harry Potter fanfiction.(I've read fanfiction stories which are better then the books themselves!)

Now today, I got a update from one of my favorite stories and I wish to help spread the message.
________
Plagerism

Right, I know that I’m not actually writing anymore, and to be fair, I still aren’t, however, this comes from one of my favourite authors and is definitely doing something right when he sent this out. Please read the following and do what it says, because we all know that Plagerism is without a doubt wrong, and should not in any circumstance be tolerated.

We are preparing an action against IdiotBoy and !

IdiotBoy - the nick name he got from somebody over the last week - created an account at and published several fics from all kind of authors and claimed them as his.

That is not a problem, because he is member of a well established site like , who has the policy not to allow those practices. So what happens? You would expect that the fics he stole from others will be removed?

No. Everyone fills in an report of plagiarism, but still it has no effect, he can continue stealing the work from others.

At the end and after several weeks, the stories get removed.

But what happens next? He creates another account at and repeats this whole nasty business. Instantly, people from all over the Fan Fiction world started to fill in reports of abuse and the result is the same. They (the management of ) ignored all requests and mr. IdiotBoy can continue to violate the policies from without any problem.

When the pressure went up, removed the fics Mr. IdiotBoy stole. And what happened? Exactly, he started anew. He created another account and the first thing he did was stealing the same fic he started with. Now he is waiting ...

Again many people filled in abuse reports with and again they don't act.
Su Tipple (author and beta-reader of RotaryFile) and I suggested taking action. She wrote an Open Letter about this whole mess and I agreed to publish it to a separate website.

The purpose of that website is: To collect enough attention across the world of Fan Fiction and beyond and to pressure to implement their policies

To ask the visitors of the site to add an entry in the guest book to express their opinion about the whole issue. Reason? We plan to publish this information at all media outlets in the Internet (like CNN).

To give IdiotBoy exactly what he wants, except a bit more then he hoped for (overkill, make the boy the most hated person in the world of fan fiction and beyond and a warning of those other jokers out there)
You can help. You can reach the web site here:

Because while I may dislike cars, loudly tweeting birds in the morning or any such things, I hate Plagarism. Please, spread the word.(Because I know that around the three of you following my blog, atleast two of you have many more readers then I do)

Now back to me, I've been sick since monday. Well actually it started on monday.
I kept working, even though I was slowed, etc. And basically took a hour longer then usual. After which I walked home because I had a flat tire. My mom was going to pick me up, but crashed the car.(Don't worry, it's all insured and it's not really bad)
So symptons: Very easily fatigued, tired, migraines, stomach pains and random pains over most of my body if I exercise.

Speaking about exercise, I decided to pick up some more exercise, to stay healthy and cycle around everyday.

Now there is one thing which went good, scarily smooth even. Today I went to pick up my new Pasport/ID thingy, I went to the desk to pick up a number.
Before I even got close, she said:
''Here to pick up a new ID?''
I said yes and while I was still walking to her, she printed out a ticket thingy which I took.

I then walked up, during which my name got called up by the system.
That nevers happens, I checked it to be sure and voila, it was true.
Everything went smooth and I was done within a minute or two.
