still sotired, but plagiarism is always worth a post

Wait, wasn't Cassie Edwards that person who was featured on fandomwank awhile back as a fan-author who'd managed to get a book deal?  And she made a big deal about taking all of her fics down?  And she had to change her pseudosurname to something other than her fandomsurname?  And she was a raving bitch to everyone?

Or was that someone else?  That name rings serious bells for me, and I don't know why.

Also, note how utterly SHOCKED I am that a former fan-author has been accused of plagiarism.  Shocked, really.  See this?  This is my shocked face.

Also, Sydney is slowly winning me over. In part because she has stopped trying to force Darwin into playing with her.  I took her for a brisk one-mile walk (and then came home and got D and took HIM for the same brisk one-mile walk, and I sweartogod, a few weeks of this and I'm gonna be a size two).  And FINALLY everyone in the house has CALMED DOWN.  If I didn't have to do laundry and clean the kitchen, I would be getting a nap.  (I got an MA for this?)

...But she still smells like the shelter.  Which smells vaguely of pee.  Might have to give her a bath even though she's seeing the groomer Friday.

Also, my husband needs to stop calling me "Dog Wheeeeeeesperer Jr."

You know, if it's that same writer of bad HP slash that I'm thinking it is, it really doesn't surprise me that she's been accused of plagiarism. After all, that's what all of her wank was about back when she wrote fanfics. I guess her "borrowing" finally caught up to her. Poetic justice if you ask me.

Edited because I can't spell today. Errrr.

Added: Doesn't look like they're the same person, unless Cassie Clare suddenly aged about 20 or 30 years. It's the same type of plagiarism, though.
