Call to Jikook readers regarding STOLEN WORKI stumbled upon this fic yesterday. It's getting more attention than it should while this has been COPIED from someone else's work. Click thread for details.
This is the fic. I'll post the link underneath. Please share!!!

So I read this fic and I was completely blown away by it. I really loved the sentence structure, the underlying humor and the self mockery in the words. It was so good. I was ready to praise this author and hype them up when my eye fell upon the small note at the beginning:
So yes, they did "credit" the original author, but it's very brief. And no matter what, it is NEVER ok to copy someone else's work even while crediting them. All the attention should go to the original work, this is NOT OK.
When I clicked on the link to see the original work I saw that literally 95% of that work has been COPIED and this person only changed the names and maybe added a sentence here or there. The works are almost identical. I just found out that the original author didn't know either.
So let me repeat: DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS FIC.
The "author" has the comments on moderated, so they can decide which comments appear or not. There are quite a lot of comments praising them to heavens and while they don't answer them, they don't correct them either by saying it's+

not their own work and they copied everything.
If there is a way to report a fic (bc I didn't check before posting this, wanting to share this as soon as possible) please let me know. This is not ok.
Also quick note:
COPYING SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK CREDITING THEM IS STILL STEALING

Here is the link to the original work! If you, just like me, read the copied jikook version without knowing it was stolen, please give the original author some love. I know it might not be your ship/fandom, but you enjoyed their story nevertheless. They were the mastermind +
Alrighty so I planned on asking everyone to report, but I just got this comment. Let's not clog the AO3 plagiarism box and wait for the original author to report the work. All we can so it NOT engage with this fic and spread the news.
So please RT this thread to let others know!
