I first joined PC for the fic section, and to post my main fic about in new places. It's a parody of the Pokemon Colosseum games and only took me about four-and-a-half years to write all maybe ~180,000 words of it (granted I did take some long breaks during that, haha). It's been a rather big success too what with an unreasonably bloated view count, its own page on tvtropes, youtube LPs randomly advertising it with no notice, fic awards... I'm fairly proud of it.
The downside (and I am sure that I am far from the first and certainly will not be the last to suffer from it) is that it has been a target of plagiarism on and off. But I think this case here is pretty odd...

When a primary school kid copy+pastes your story's prologue with minor edits (including removing some jokes FROWN and also replacing some dialogue with a censored swear of ' s******'...?) and submits it to a nationwide site to enter it for a competition... well, I'm left a bit bemused by it.
Remember kids, stealing stuff is pretty uncool and does not earn you a Wess Dance. (Now I wonder if anyone on here knows the kid... =p)
