writerkitSo there's apparently SO MUCH MORE to the omegaverse lawsuit than was in the New York Times article. Lindsay Ellis does a video essay here.
There was apparently quite a lot of plotting that went into that lawsuit-- like, there are emails proving that the writer insisting that the DMCA takedowns were all the publisher's doing was actually a deliberate strategy which they planned on purpose, and she carries the ruse of "it was just the publisher and not me" despite actually *demanding* this of the publisher far enough that she actually *perjured* herself about it in court. (And then the author accused of plagiarism dissolves her company and disappears right as a counterclaim gets going and there's just so much about this whole thing that is *incredibly weird*.)
