Welcome to INV-2025-PCCP (Investigation 2025: Plagiarism Clean-up Credit Project)!

Atticus (piratecaptains/piratecaptainscaptainpirates) has been found to plagiarize other people’s work, either rewording things in an attempt to avoid detection, stealing entire lines from other people’s works or copying exact plot beats and ideas with minimal creative transformation. Our aim here is to look at his work, find the original works he stole from and give credit back to the original authors.

To volunteer with us

Send us an email at inv2025pccp@gmail.com with the subject Volunteer. Include your Discord username.

If you have a lead or suspect your work was plagiarized

Send us an email at inv2025pccp@gmail.com with the subject Fic Lead. In the body, include the title/link of Atticus's work on AO3 and the title and link to your own/original work. Please also include your Tumblr or Bluesky username.

For information on orphaned works, please read AO3's FAQ here.

For a brief overview of accusations of plagiarism against Atticus, see this post. For an even briefer overview of other issues, see this post.

There will be further posts about our process and who's involved, but this is a work in progress with a potentially very long lead time. Please bear with us!
