On 6/21/2023, it was brought to my attention that @fandoms-forever-united and @fandomsgalore-backup took my Bakugou nightmare stories and used them in a YouTube video without permission. I kindly messaged them and asked them to remove the video.
I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt because they did credit me (wayyyyyyy down at the bottom of the YouTube description with several blank spaces but ya know…). BUT CREDIT DOES NOT EQUAL PERMISSION.
They said they would. They did not. They privated it. When I called them out on this and asked them to please delete the video, they ignored me and PUT IT BACK UP. So I put in a request to YouTube to copyright strike it, and let them know I would be going through ALL their videos and alerting all the writers who worked they used without permission which was A LOT.
Unfortunately, tumblr saw how many messages I was sending and locked down my inbox and askbox. I have since put in a support ticket but this blog is still mostly on lockdown and I cannot get to those messages nor can the folks who I messaged see them.
While I was doing this, Fandoms Galore was making videos whining about how they’re somehow a victim in all this and that they are making back up accounts in case they lose their channel/blog.
Their comments are full of sympathizers who don’t believe they did anything wrong and think that I am going after a small creator who is just enjoying my work. This is not a witch hunt; this is Fandoms Galore paying the price of a lesson that could have been resolved by deleting the videos of work that WAS NOT THEIRS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO USE.
But this is not the first time they have done this and it was not “a couple of years ago” either. They plagiarized work as early as this January that we could find. My work that was used in a video was 7 months ago. I didn’t even get to my own video before tumblr locked my blog down so several videos were made using work WITHOUT PERMISSION prior to 7 months ago.
They are still “in the process” of “deleting” videos. I believe Fandoms Galore is saving all these videos to be reposted on a new channel if any copyright strikes make it through in time. They have built a following off the backs of other people and are mad that they were found out. Don’t let them keep taking our hard work and profiting off of it.
PLEASE CHECK THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND THE BLOG FOR YOUR WORK. AND BLOCK THE NEW BLOGS THEY MAKE SO THEY CANNOT USE YOUR WORK FOR THEIR OWN GAIN.
DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS PERSON BTW.
Do not go and send hurtful hate messages in their inbox! Check to see if your shit was swiped, report, block and GO.
One thing we NOT gone do is stoop to they level.
This post was made to let other writers know about a plagiarizer. It is NOT an invitation to go and bully someone.
Keep that in mind as you share this post.
THANKS
Thank you Marquie. I was so upset typing this that I forgot to reiterate that we are:
NOT SENDING THEM HATE. DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM.
See if your stuff is being used, initiate a copyright strike through YouTube, block, and go about your business.
DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM. DO NOT!!! DO NOT!!! DO NOT!!!
-thanks management
Hihihi hello! This was definitely not something I expected to still be posting about in 2024 but here we are.
@she-who-writes-for-multi-fandoms is still stealing fanfic and claiming it as her own. She copy/pastes a fic and then changes the sentence structure in some sort of attempt to bypass plagiarism checkers and avoid detection as you can see from two of the examples below (don’t worry, there’s way more)
She also promised that she would no longer plagiarise people, and promised to take down all her stolen audios and fanfiction but it seems like she’s just reuploaded more again this year.
Please block her to keep your work protected💕
Update: After reblogging this post she has now changed her URL again I’m assuming in an attempt to hide away from her plagiarism. Her new and current URL is @just-a-fanvergent-fangirl
she’s made a new account and url is @/illuminare-writer for anyone that wants to block
UPDATE: url has either been changed or deactivated
She found me on my new blog and had the AUDACITY to put me on a rec list. She has a masterlist that she only sends a link to if you ask for it. RED FLAG RED FLAG RED FLAG.
She’s most likely still stealing shit and calling it hers. Y'all need to block her ASAP.
