Oh DAMN!! Gaider laid the smack down! (Read the comments on the one negative review.)

Was that Gaider?

EDIT: No, can't have been.

Thanks for pointing that out! I would have completely missed it because I only read the first review and stopped after seeing so many connections to Sten (even being found in a cage) and FemCousland.

It's horrible that someone would try to steal from their work and claim credit. This doesn't even sound like well-written or interesting fanfiction. It sounds... a bit traumatizing, actually.

Did you read the comments, or just the review? Gaider's reply is in the comments.

I'm missing something. I haven't ever read that fanfic... it IS a fanfic, right? Or?

*Googles my heart out*

EDIT: ... Wow. I just... I can't. She didn't even TRY to hide her plagarism. Just... Really? She got away with it, too?

@OdanUrr: No problem, I did the same thing at first. xD

Well, I'm not sure how much she'll get away with it now that it's come to BioWare's attention. It's so completely obvious that she stole from Dragon Age, and they have proof (from what I've read, it seems the original fanfic had her name on it), so hopefully something can be done.

Also, the name "Boudicca"? Really? Can you try a LITTLE harder? Complete with Irish-sounding last name? Does she also rub shoulders with Bann Arthur and Ser Lancelot?

EDIT: Actually, guys, think about it: she actually gets people to PAY to read this stuff.  Everyone's reading our fanfics for free!  Suddenly I feel like a real shmuck LOL

I don't think that's Gaider.

The negative review is from August of 2011, not January of 2012.

Also it says the commentor is from Chicago. Gaider lives in Alberta, Canada.

One of the comments for the review, not the review itself.

Proof.

"David R. Gaider says:
I am the lead writer of the Dragon Age series you say the author has never heard of, and I can confirm that she did indeed write the "Sten and the Warden" Dragon Age fanfiction novel and even sent it to me. While the characters and events described in this new book have more than passing resemblance to her fanfiction, I have no idea if they're exactly the same. Sounds like someone thought their fanfiction was so awesome they needed to turn it into something publishable. Whether people think that's a good idea or not I'll leave to those willing to read it-- but I'd say that, if there's anything that makes a "talented author" look bad it's outright lies."

^ GAIDER YOU TRAILBLAZER YOU.

"Boudicca" sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?

And we're all doing it the right way, by not ripping off someone else's work as our own. Plus, our fanfiction is better.

You have to click into the replies TO that negative review.

I'm just so glad this finally got caught.  BioWare is more than generous in allowing us to create fanworks--especially in the shadow of such things happening right now regarding intellectual property and the internet--that it makes my teeth grind to see someone do something as underhanded as this.  So selfish as to try to sell someone else's intellectual property as your own with only the names changed?  Dialogue straight out of Origins?

The Arishok says, "No."  And I would even put that fixing this mess IS the demand of the Qun.

Boudicca, queen of the Iceni (a Celtic tribe in Britian), killed oodles of Romans before they finally stopped her.

I'd like to think so, aye

She's a sneaky-witch-theif!

Hasn't she heard that swooping is bad?

[OdanUrr]

This.

EDIT: It's a bit too aggressive to outright post the pic.

My MFA thesis's first life was as a fanfiction. But the more I worked with my plot and characters (which could function without the world in which they 'played' on both accounts) the more I realized I wanted to make them original. It is possible to turn fanfiction into original, but it must be done very carefully and differ from the source material quite a bit. To be influenced by it is one thing, to do a find-replace of names is entirely another.

[The Sarendoctrinator]

Ah, okay, that explains why Boudicca sounded like something I've heard before. History.

I agree. Also, the same dialogue? Seriously? I didn't even bother reading any part of the book, but this whole thing is just... unforgivable. She didn't even try to hide it, or change it at all.

Heh. Well, people get heaps of money for drawing fanart of My Character + My Character's Love Interest, why not fanfiction? Although at least the artists admit Bioware's ownership of their own characters. Gaider's protest (if it's Gaider) appears to be just as much about the writer denying any knowledge of or inspiration from Dragon Age than anything else. I don't know how much of this story is word-for-word from the game as many Blight retellings are.

Most people have more integrity than to claim it's all their own imagination. Just read the description of this story: giants from the islands in the far north? Orphaned woman who goes on to command armies while seeking revenge for her murdered parents? Rescuing this strange giant from a 'holding cell'? Maker's breath.

It's almost as scewed as Dwarven politics!

I'm sorry, I'll quit with the references. 

[WhiteKnyght]

To try and lighten the mood. I'll show off the face models of my story characters that I made using Origins.

http://i299.photobuc...dedIrisCast.jpg

Although it's not perfect. On PS3, so no mods for the creator, so Nolan's missing his armor, dimples and proper facial hair, and Iris is missing her braid, and no screenshots, so I had to use my camera.

[The Sarendoctrinator]

Those are nice-looking characters you have there, Nayr. That's really good quality too, coming from a TV screen.
