Hey everybody, meet pokemongirl2523, writer of a story 'titled' the story of DOOM ("Title has nothing to do with the story. I couldn't think of one, so that ended up being the title.") The rest of the summary is It's about a girl and her Vulpix, when girls were not allowed to have pokemon, let alone battle them. Folow their adventures inside!.

I reviewed, and today there's a response in the second chapter. For some reason, I have a hard time taking it seriously. Something about it just smacks of troll.

AN: Now, I will answer to one of my reviewers, who decided to give me the longest lecture about writing a fan fiction I’ve ever seen.

Karla: Boy, didn’t anyone tell you not to read something if you don’t like it? You could’ve looked at it, said “This is bad, I don’t want to read it,” instead of giving me a long lecture. I mean, yes, I made a couple mistakes, but everyone does! I’m sure you do too, unless you’re God. Which you aren’t. And so I capitalized where I wasn’t supposed to. So what? I’m sorry the gender kept switching, I’ll fix it in this chapter, not that you’ll care. You’ll find something to lecture me about anyways. I’m sooo sorry that she thinks out loud. She just does. And I’m sorry that I couldn’t think up a better plot. I like it the way I did it. I realize that I made a mistake about the pokeball belt, and I’m sorry, I’ll watch out for things like that later on. The professor obviously believes in women’s rights, and the Vulpix was abandoned. I declare that now. Why would he need pokemon? I mean, it’s not like people come up to him every day, asking for pokemon, do they? And what did you expect her to do to be prepared, get plastic surgery? Yeah, right. It’s not like there was anything else she could do! I’m sorry, but I’m not the best at narration and describing. That’s the way I am. Thank you and good bye.

Flaming of the name Karla is intentional. Unless you’re that jerk that gave me the lecture, no offense. None at all.

Hah, oh man, I just reviewed her in disgust before perusing the livejournals... I feel a little silly for feeding the troll now, but the stupidity is somewhat amusing. xD

By the way, are you surprised that Zanna Taru turned out to be a filthy plagiarizer? Just changed all the names. Depressingly, after skimming through the original 'fic, which the author just uploaded, her plagiarized version was a little better than the original. The original names make me want to gouge out my eyes. x_X It, of course, begs the question--why do people plagiarize crap?

I heard about it a few days ago, and I'm still really surprised. You'd think with all the screeching and wailing about how Zara's not a mary sue, and she's writing this for herself, and how she's adding in this and that to satisfy the readers...I'm somewhat creeped out, honestly.

As to why they plagiarize crap - I remember someone a while ago pointing out how plagiarizers were stupid and usually copied really well-known author's stories, so they wound up getting caught almost immediately. Maybe Zanna Taru was smarter than we give her credit for. She managed to finish posting the story and get 90 reviews before any response.
