Nah, I don't think it's really that necessary on here as everyone knows that they don't own characters that already exist.

Disclaimers, in my opinion, are not needed for fan fics. It's common sense that says that I did not invent Count Dooku, or whatherface did not make Harry Potter...and so on.

What kind of reject would try to pass this novel off as his own and actually think he would get away with it?

Rex, do you delete the threads people post when they've plagiarised?

yeah, you should.
it sickens me that people dare to plagerize. people work hard in what they do, and they got people who dare take their hard work.

Hey Rex, since this is your department (I like what you've done with the place, got that whole aura of death and destruction happening evil face

).....dammit, now Ive forgotten what I was asking..

..Oh yeah, if you were to use parts from another source in a fanfic, does that count as plagiarism?

Example....say you were writing a crossover kind of story, where certain parts from a movie/story have to be pretty much copied straight over to give it that continuing feel, can you do that? Do you need a reference?

If you credit the person somewhere, it's fine.

And yes, we have a bit of D&D here... big grin

No, not Dungeons and Dragons...

In the case of fanfics of movies, though...I think it's pretty obvious that none of us invented Star Wars or Jedi, or the Matrix, or Middle-Earth, or whatever.

Fanfics are in a very grey area when it comes to plagiarism. There are certain authors that, if they find fanfiction based on their works, request that it be removed. When I post fanfics (particularly when I post on fanfiction.net because they're sticklers for this) I generally include a disclaimer stating that the basic ideas and pre-existing characters I didn't invent and don't belong to me, but anything original that's in the story IS mine.

Same thing for me and The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants. I remade another story, in French, stating that the basic ideas aren't mine, but this is about four female Sith (hence the traduced title Four Sith and a pair of jeans, from Quatre Siths et un jean in french), three of them fighting on different planets (Kashyyyk, Dantooine and Nar Shaddaa) and the fourth stays on Alderaan. The entire story is set 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Don't try to find it on the site, though.
