Referrals

Estee recently posted a journal entry I found intriguing. I too have noticed the presence of Plagscan in the lists of referrals to some of my stories, and I too am baffled by it. Many of the same questions posited in that journal post have occurred to me.
  FanOfMostEverything picked up the ball and ran with it. In turn I suppose I should take a look myself. Fortunately, I have not posted as many stories as either of them has, and I won’t count search engines, aggregation sites, RSS feeders, or the like. That should leave us with the true oddities. Let’s see. . . .

City of Doors and Louder Yay are both alt blogs for pony people if I remember right.

As to the others, some interesting stuff appearing.

I've seen Plagscan show up on a couple of my stories too. The stories in question adapt elements from official stories, mind, but I made sure to properly credit the original works.

Yeah, Plagscan’s presence does make me scratch my head and ask why.
