Kill them all kill them all kill them all kill them all kill them all....

Hello boys and girls. Guess what?

More plagiarism!

...I'm going to kill someone yes I am...

Anyway, today it's Pikamaster2212. Their email is XKagomeSangoX@aol.com.

On the Justin page is the story Pokemon Legend, with the summary: The legendary pokémon Ho-Oh has the power to make legends come to life. Kit has always felt a bond with the great bird, but never expected to get caught up in the vulpix and ninetales legend of human creation.

Sound familiar?

Pilot Light by Tashojiri. I don't know why Pikamaster2212 thought they should change the title but not the summary. I'll go with 'they're an idiot who needs to be removed from the gene pool promptly'. Similarly, the only change to the first chapter they uploaded was the removal of the ending lines Yuuyake no shita de yakusoku shiyou/Mata ashita issho ni asobou ne . . . . I don't know why, maybe Pikamaster2212 thought such a cunning change would prevent people from recognizing the chapter.

I was going to report this for plagiarism, but I think I'll sit on it this time and see how many days it takes for anyone else to notice. If it goes a week, I'll either report it or secede from humanity, possibly both.

And again, the email is XKagomeSangoX@aol.com. Not that I'm in any way suggesting you should email them with really nasty viruses.

Blagh...and the worst is when they don't type anything themselves, so it's impossible to tell if they're plagarizing if you're not familiar with the original work. >_

On the brighter side, at least when this thing gets the happy praise reviews, the reviewers will have an excuse. Mind you, they'd have done it anyway, but at least this time there's reasonable doubt.

How is that you manage to remember that "hmm... that sounds familiar?" Do you read everything?

No, but Pilot Light's a multi-chapter story, so it's been updated several times, meaning I've seen the summary before. Also, it stuck in my head because I thought it sounded interesting, and after seeing it a few times I started reading it, only to find it pretty uninteresting and close the window, and so I still wonder about what the plot's really about. Not enough to finish reading it, but enough, it seems, to make it stick in my head.

If it'd been the title that was the same and the summary that was changed, I probably wouldn't have noticed, honestly. Makes me wonder how often this has happened.
