That's a lot of plagiarism in one place. I don't see any of mine, but there are plenty of other authors represented there. I'll inform the SIYE staff, for starters.

SirOllivander, SIYE's resident plagiarism bloodhound, is in contact with Wattpad's admins about this "author". If you can identify the original authors of any of those stories (aside from the ones posted here), post their pennames and a link to the original. I'll compile them and send them in as ammo.

When arjay187 originally posted with the links I was able to go right to the stories page. Besides the three stories in the first post, I recognized another but couldn't remember the author. I didn't care to stay at the site after my quick look see. Used the link again to help Sovran but can't get there now, you have to log in. Huh. I'm not going to bother signing up for that site.

As of this morning, the stories have been removed, which is probably why you couldn't see the pages. In fact, the guy's entire profile (formerly 30+ stories) is now blank. Word got around quickly.

Why would anyone go to that site in the first place? I just went there and scanned through several of their categories, including the popular one, and read several random "stories." Now I want to obliviate myself or tear out my brain. Nothing on that site was even remotely good. Most of it was poorly written teen angst and blogging bullshit. Please, someone, make it go away!

Well I was looking for a story that i had lost a link to and found it there lol. Definitely did not stick around very long.

Seriously, that site is one of the worst I've ever seen. Very poorly laid out. Difficult to navigate. Why would anyone ever read a story on that site if it could be found elsewhere? Or even if it couldn't?
