Merry Christmas, y'all!

I was just sitting here reading the chronicles, starting at the beginning (page eight through one/earliest story to latest story). I just discovered that Captain Scurvy's story, "Spectre," is an almost verbatim repeat of Ankh Starrunner's "EV Story: War of the Nary-Crystal."
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but where I come from, it's called plagiarism, even though he didn't put in the introduction...

Happy New Year, y'all!
Cya on the boards!

A lot of those stories are mis-cited for author and title. For example, my story Hybrid Drac is on there as being an untitled story (I think... been a long time). I wouldn't be too trusting of the earliest Chronicles, as that was before I was in charge of it...

Which reminds me, I forgot to do it today.. damn, I hope no one noticed... I guess I know what I'll be doing for the next few minutes.

Edit: I can't spell.

You're right, EVula. The one you mentioned, "Hybrid Drac" (which is a great piece of work, I might add), is the same as one titled "Spectre." It says right in the introductory segment that it wasn't given a title, and the submitter wonders if you even remember it.
I don't know if it's plagiarism on purpose or if someone's submitting/resubmitting someone else's piece, but if it's the latter, the very least they could do is give credit to the author! I know I wouldn't like to find out my work is being submitted/resubmitted by someone else!
Thanx for the input, EVula. I've been to your site many times, and read all the work there... Great stuff!

Merry Christmas!

Uh oh, look out everyone... EVula's drunk with power again. Remember not to drink and drive over the holidays, friend.

I haven't been around for a while. Does anyone know if my story was up?
