Ozymandayus

From Fandom wank wiki

“	My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.	”
	— Ozymandias, Percy Bysshe Shelley[1]

March 9, 2005: Speaking of his works, colossal wrecks, and despair...

Ozymandayus was a writer in Buffy, Smallville, Dark Angel, and Power Rangers fandoms. Or, rather, as it turned out, Ozymandayus plagiarized writers in X-Files fandom, pulling scattered bits of stories together and posting them all under his name... in Buffy, Smallville, Dark Angel, and Power Rangers fandoms.

Apparently first denying the accusations, he later posted an apology for the theft, further claiming that 85% of the work was his own.

This was disputed.

Like clockwork, fen appeared, saying the latest version of "Fanfic is plagiarism anyway" and "As long as we like it, it doesn't matter if it's plagiarized."
