A/N: READ THIS, PLEASE. My story is being plagiarized. I always thought of plagiarizing as something that would be mildly flattering if it happens. I was wrong. I'm actually quite pissed off, frankly. The story is Emails, by the author Amelia-Jolinar-Carter-O'Neill. She has lifted in some cases entire sentences from this story, and it's more that a little annoying. I'm appealing to you guys, who read and (hopefully) enjoy my writing, to help me out here. I'd like you to go and read it for yourself, and if you think it's plagiarism, report it. It's not fair to anyone, myself or other authors, that they should spend lots of time writing a story to have someone else take it and pass it off as theirs. We need to stop this, now, and I'd like you guys to help me.
Major kudos goes to Nogigglingmajor, who sent me a PM to tell me about this. Cookies would be mailed... except that I have no clue where you live. So you get a special mention in my story instead. Thanks.

A ring? Spacemonkey... are you serious?

Jack,
I've never been so sure of anything in my life. Sam liked the ring you got her, right?

Well, she squealed and now we're expecting, Daniel, so I'd say she liked it fine. Sure, I'll help you find one for Janet. Maybe this weekend?

Subject: Identity Theft
Jack,
One of the members of SG-6, a friend of mine, who's on vacation, just overheard someone using your credit card to buy a high priced jewelry thing. Unless you're in Salt Lake City, Utah, I doubt it was you. They had to verify the address and everything. You probably should make sure you cancel that card and report the theft of your identity.

Are you kidding? What kind of an idiot steals the identity of an Air Force General? It's not like we get THAT much money... jeez, what a moron. Maybe I should sic Thor on them... There's a thought guaranteed to bring a warm and fuzzy feeling to your heart, huh?
On that note, are we having the wedding in the gate room?

Jack,
No sending our off-world allies after common, stupid criminals. It's like dropping an anvil or a safe on them; totally overkill and it leaves a messy aftermath.

Have you been watching cartoons again? And you had to spoil my fun, huh? I thought you'd be more vindictive than that.

Subject: Vindictive?
There are three things that make me that vindictive. Sexist men in positions of power, people who take my work and claim it as their own, and anyone who tries to take my boyfriend from me. Just so you know, if we ever go back to Edora, you aren't going.
Sam
PS Yes, we can have the wedding in the gate room. I doubt Mark is speaking to me anyways.

Ok. Not pushing that one.
Love you lots,
