If there was a price for brazenness...

A 'Samantha Jones' from Australia sent drawings of Spike and Angel to Buffy and Angel Magazine and won a star price. Only problem is that the drawings weren't done by Samantha, but by thedothatgirl. All Samantha did was copy them and remove the signatures. Eh, I have no idea what drives plagiarists to do something as pointless and stupid as this. Who needs attention this badly?

But while at it... thedothatgirl's website is worth checking out. She's posted well-done fan-art of most, if not all the characters of the Whedonverse shows. It's fun to browse.

As to her name, I googled it and apparently it's also the name of a character from 'Sex in the City'... though that name is probably not rare so maybe it is her real one.

How pathetic. It hadn't crossed my mind that someone might plagiarize fanart... not to send it to a magazine that's read by a large part of fandom, anyway.

I do make sure to post only lo-rez files online... not enough to make a really decent print, I thought that's enough to keep away plagiarists. *shrug*
