Maddy 8 Posted November 25, 2006 I looked at them, and they honestly look too different from each other to belong to the same author. I'll try googling a couple of sentences or so, and see if any similar results come up. I've been trying to join the website for the last two days, But I haven't been able to. The registration activation email isn't in my inbox... nor in my junk mail, for that matter. Birds
dkstories 17,541 Posted November 25, 2006 I've noticed lately that there have been problems with fanfiction's email system. I have gotten no chapter alerts from them in a week or so. This happens on occasion and then when they clear up the log-jam, I'll get a bunch of them, old and new at once. That might also affect their registration system.
Drewbie 153 Posted November 25, 2006 For awhile last night I could not log on, I send out more emails and a few pm's to some of the readers, Bird Probably search the first ones, if you need a way to log in, um pm me. Edit Some of us have found these: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3085238/1/ is plagarized from http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/relationships/the-honeymoon And http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2956224/1/ is plagiarized from http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random043/99046461.html I've been informed that Mathis Rogers (author of 'The honeymoon') has been notified and he has emailed fanfiction too.

Dio 7 Posted November 25, 2006 I am in awe of arabian00glow copy paste, and find>>replace skills used in the making of that story. lol...
bKite 1 Posted November 25, 2006 DOm, I am declaring war on that website as well. I have already posted 3 comments (under different names ) and am trying to join this site. I also feel bad because on top of your bad thanksgiving, this had to happen to you. Good people do not deserve this kind of wrongdoing (especially someone like you). We will be trying everything we can to take down this arabian00glow. In the meantime, I hope you have a great holiday season.
Drewbie 153 Posted November 25, 2006 We found another! Author Stonewolf has been emailed. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3145435/1/ is http://www.stormloader.com/articwolf/beginning.htm Drewbie
Site Administrator Myr 32,928 Posted November 25, 2006 Site Administrator No wars on Fanfiction please. Email complaints all you like to them and to the author.I've sent a rather strongly worded one to FF myself.
acassimaty 0 Posted November 25, 2006 I found another one: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2767849/1/ is part of this story http://www.myeroticstory.net/erotic-storie...two-sugars.html I couldn't find any contact information on that site.
DomLuka 7,528 Posted November 25, 2006 No, no wars on the website. Remember, a lot of good authors use that site (Myr and Dan, for example) and from what I

writeincode 17 Posted November 25, 2006 EVeryone should bombard his email address with thousands upon thousands of complaints: glowarabian@yahoo.com
meg 0 Posted November 25, 2006 heyy i was going to say i can't believe this guy said "my grandfather died..." as an excuse for not updating in a long time, but well given that he's plagarized every story, maybe i can believe that little ...i don' tknow if i'm allowed to swear on this site?? plusi don't quite understand the point of plagerizing someones story. i mean. you ask for reviews but its not on YOUR writing. you don't get any satisfaction from nice reviews. so wtf? and the style differences are just really funny. its so obvious sometimes. on the plus side, if you can call it that, at least there are some extra positive reviews you can read about your own writing...
meg 0 Posted November 25, 2006 and the disclaimer says i do not own any of the characteres herein (only the plot) what a loser. if thats mean of me...whatever
Pai-kun 21 Posted November 25, 2006 i was going to say i can't believe this guy said "my grandfather died..." as an excuse for not updating in a long time No way! He actually did that? O_o; I don't know if I should laugh or cry... Maybe both at the same time. I'm sure there's a name in a book for people who lie and does things like this, he should have a psych evaluation.
Drewbie 153 Posted November 26, 2006 November 25th, 2006 -- We suffered multiple hard-drive failures which caused down-time to both email services (alerts, PMs) and the login area the past few days. These problems have been resolved and the backlog of email alerts is slowly being pushed out to everyone's inbox. So hopefully it will be resovoled real soon. Fictionpress.com is also a good one to look at, press is more for original stories, non fanfics.
bodgy 1 Posted November 26, 2006 EVeryone should bombard his email address with thousands upon thousands of complaints: You need to be careful here, that might count as spam, and could get you into more trouble than the recipient in some areas of the world. You also don't know whether that could be the email address of someone quite innocent, who has had their email address 'borrowed' -it is very easy to fake a visible email address as well as to alias one. On the bright side of course, it means that the standard of Doms' writing is good enough to be eligible for copying. bodgy
Site Administrator Myr 32,928 Posted November 26, 2006 Site Administrator It could also mean that Dom might do very well writing an HP fanfic.
rec 1,789 Posted November 26, 2006 I see that the fanfiction site is registered to www.tucows.com, which is a much larger site that provides Windows shareware and may be legitimate. I'd suggest that people notify Tucows about the plagiarism; if they don't know about it, they may be willing to yank the fanfiction site. If they do, they should have a serious problem on their hands. rec
KenderCleric 5 Posted November 26, 2006 You know I really pitty those who cross the authors of GA, but especially those who cross the Domaholics.
Drewbie 153 Posted November 26, 2006 Good news. it's been taken off Edit It looks like the account is frozen, He changed his name stories deleted but his email is still there.

I didn't really mean thousands upon thousands each. I was implying that if we emailed him/her individually, explaining why plagiarism is wrong it would probably be quite alot of emails, considering the size of Dom's fanbase. I didn't however take into consideration the fact that it might be a fake address. Does fanfiction.net have an activation code sent to the email address thing? Anyway, all the points are moot since the account has been frozen
Pai-kun 21 Posted November 27, 2006 I didn't however take into consideration the fact that it might be a fake address. Does fanfiction.net have an activation code sent to the email address thing? Yes, they have activation codes sent by email. So I don't see how it can be a fake email, but maybe you can change email after you've activated your account or something like that.
