Plagiarism?

[Guest]

Hi.
A while ago, I posted a message alerting the mods to an author claiming a couple of stories as his own, when in fact, they were newsgroup oldies.
One of them was called `Confronting Mother` & the original newsgroup header appears below.

From: Pennypacker@my-dejanews.com <Pennypacker@my-dejanews.com>
Subject: ST: Confronting Mother (F/F,incest,Part 1-2)
Date: 07 December 1998 09:29

Imagine my surprise when I saw this story re-posted under the authorship of `estories69`. Now, I dunno if estories69 and Pennypacker are the same person, but I think it`s worth checking out.

If there`s one thing I hate, it`s people claiming credit for someone else`s work.

Thanks for letting us know. We've contacted both author's emails and will act depending on what response we receive. Both authors have emails at my-deja.com, so it could be that it's the same person. In the future, we'd appreciate it if you would email us regarding accusations of plagiarism rather than posting them publicly in the event that it IS a legitimate story. As many can attest, we respond even more quickly to email than to posting on the site. Thanks again, and take care!

Yep, fair enough.

You know, if it belongs to Pennypacker or to estories69, it ain`t a bad story either way.

Yeah, it's a good one! UPDATE: The author emailed me back, and it is indeed his story. He posted the first 3 parts to the newsgroups, but the fourth is a Literotica exclusive. We definitely appreciate any suspicious stuff being brought to our attention, as we hate thieves as much as we hate spammers.

Ya gotta love it!

Thanks for the vigelence (Vigalence) (Vigilance) (Etc, etc, etc.). Back_Again! (ooo...pick the 3rd spell choice...) And, thanks to you Laurel for your hard work.
I'm SO glad that it was a false alarm.
And, welcome aboard, 'estories69'. You've found the proper home!

P.S.: I love this place!!
