Two days ago, an author named argetshur'tugal1 posted a story called the ponyta problem. And by posted, I mean copied the chapter from The Ponyta Story by Spike4.

Now, to indicate that it should be very, very obvious this isn't the author's own work, I'll show you what you'll see as you start to read the chapter. Italics indicate what's new and bold is the original.

disclaimer: I don’t own anything ok

Chapters 1


The other trainer's face was covered with sweat as his hand went to his belt for the one and only Pokeball he carried there. I wondered why-- surely he couldn't be that outmatched...

Notice how the person writing what's in the italics can't capitalize properly, doesn't write out okay, has chapter in the plural, and their disclaimer has a very poor structure. Notice how the actual author writes in adult sentence structure and is able to capitalize properly even for words like 'Pokeball', which is not automatic.

Now let's look at the end.

All I knew was that it couldn't go on much longer. One way or another, I had to find a solution to my strange troubles.

so how do you it this isn't my chapter but I wrote this part because i couldn't figure out how to start these things. I’ll probably get in trouble but I am going to write my own version in the next chapters. So bye for now.

So even if you fail to notice the differences in sentence structure and errors, the author admits it. This does not prevent the reviewers, henceforth refered to as 'jackasses who do not deserve to live', from showering praises upon the author.

In case you're wondering, the second chapter of the story is also copied (with the poster's text being disclaimer :do I have to do this every time well here it goes again dont own anything
chapter two...
...so how was it well got to go Bye Read and review
)

Who are the jackasses who do not deserve to live who commented on the first chapter to praise the poster? Hazy Aurora (Nice. Cruelty to Pokemon! It should not be allowed! >:( ^^ Great Chapter though. You could try to make them a bit more in depth and a bit longer. Hope you write more! -Hazy Aurora!) and surfingpikachu05(WOW!
that was a really cool story!
keep it up!
Plz UPdate!
that was such a brill story, trust me it takes a lot of good writing for you to impress me!
UPDATE!
~Feel free to look at my story too! Thanx!:)~

Another reviewer shows up by the second chapter, FlareOfDragon(hmm... Interesting...

Well, it is original... Anyway, nice job. You might need to use the word ashamed a bit less. Also, maybe a shy pokemon that has no pride would use less vulgar words than damn.
)

Adding insult to injury, Hazy Aurora has put the poster on their favorite author list and the story on their favorite story list. surfingpikachu05 has put the poster on their favorite author list.

So, henceforth, all reviews gotten from Hazy Aurora, surfingpikachu05 and FlareOfDragon should be considered less than worthless. And anyone else who reviews to praise the 'author' in any way, shape or form.
