Here we go again...

After disposing of msscribe, bad_penny now is doing Cassandra Claire and the plagiarism thing. This fandom was founded on teh crazy.

Thinking about it, I can't really see where else CL could have published, if she wanted to attract any attention whatsoever. At least on bad penny, she forestalled all the 'ZOMG ancient grudgewank!' by...posting it in the ancient grudgewank community.

If whiteserpent had been posting anonymously, at least we would have been spared the 'I was so furious\disgusted\gutted' that was so wearisome to read. Personally I'd have liked a table 'CC wrote' against 'other people wrote'—spot the similarities?

My reaction was along the lines of 'oh, this again. Surely the world and its mother knows that CC plagiarised Pamela Dean?'
Evidently, I was wrong.

I honestly didn't - I thought the fuss was because of the 'cold blooded piece of toast' business. Apparently the Pamela Dean stuff had already been hashed out at f_w_greatesthits, but it's not as if I go hanging around there on a particularly regular basis - I don't think I had any reason to look at journalfen at all before Charlotte.

I was much more interested in the comparisons - though, as I said above, I think some of them were a bit of a reach - than in the dull to and fro of 'Well, you should have warned her before deleting her fic' and so on and so forth. Or, for that matter, in very much of the to and fro that's been going on on LJ since. I keep looking over my shoulder and wondering whether the next time I look at this entry there will be a hundred and twenty responses from people I've never heard of. :p

Apologies for causing your new layout to squish into even tinier columns. I do like it - I think I might redo mine again at some point, as I'm rather missing the sidebar.

Oh, don't worry about the layout. Do it good to have some exercise. I'm still not sure about the colours—the blue one is nice too. (This layout's called 3 column, btw, with a few modifications to the sidebar contents).

Yes, me too. Have you seen the latest? (Short version: She plagiarised her plagiarism from heidi8.)

I swear this fandom could not be more batshit even if it went swimming in stately Wayne Manor's septic tank.
