They could start again, they would conquer a new planet. Their appetites would ensure their species survived beyond the husk of Earth. They had conquered it once, stripped it of its flesh, and left it a dying corpse. They would tear each other apart over the best land, the best food, the best sexual partners. In a state of nature, they would turn that cleverness, that instinct towards self-preservation, on one another. They were ruthless they were clever they were thoroughly human. They were the ones who could be counted upon to force this new planet to their will. The ones who had proven their worth through accruing the most gold, the most things. Seeds which would wake on a new planet, with unfamiliar soil, and soak in the same sun – more distant now, but familiar and comforting. There were seeds, the best and hardiest which could be found, stored in coolers of dry ice, kept sleeping.

There were stores of freeze-dried foods, hard and chewy and unappealing the fruits of their home, the last to sustain them. There were thousands of panes of glass, made up of the melted sands of beaches no human toes would wriggle into ever again.

If this fanfiction has been plagiarised so thoroughly, how can I trust other books by Romilly aren’t also plagiarised fic? Blue_Jack spent *hours and hours* writing and editing this *for free*, for people to enjoy *for free*, and someone tried profiting from it. >This was a work put out into the world to be enjoyed for free. >The plagiarisation isn’t even remotely subtle. It’s also entirely possible she’s plagiarised more fic. It’s entirely possible she’s been writing ahead of time and is only publishing now.

>Romilly has published a book approximately once a month during 2020 and into 2021. The audio book still remains, for the moment. They filed a plagiarisation claim with Amazon, who pulled the book. >I contacted Blue Jack to see if they’re Romilly. Here’s the rest of OP’s commentary from the thread) There are even more images on Twitter, but even just these ten prove the point.
