Exactly. After I'd discovered that, I couldn't even look at any of her other stories. And there's no way she could possibly defend herself after that in my eyes.
It's one thing to say "Oh, that was a funny line that McCoy said, I wonder if I could use it sometime" since McCoy tended to recycle his insults/lines/whatever throughout the show. But to copy whole paragraphs outright was just stupid. And so obvious to anyone who's read that book. It seemed familiar right from the beginning, but I'd thought maybe I'd read the beginning of that story before and just never finished it... then I came across that first paragraph and it hit me where I'd seen it before.
