Well, well, well...I acctually write Harry Potter, but JKR claims my work as her own. No! Here she comes!! *Screams as JK Rowling carries Di to the basement* HELLLLLLLLP!!!

But yeah, plagairism is just plain stupid.

agreed. i get angered when people say i'm plagerizing, when i'm actually doing my own work. my story blade the dragon warrior, i don't see how its the same as Eragon. I have Dragon Warriors, big whoop.

well, any way i started over so it doesn't matter

Hmm... I hope people don't start thinking I'm plagerizing off a site that belongs to me 😖

Well, actually, William shakespeare MY have been a plagierist, add him to your hit list, rex!

I feel very inclined to believe you, Knightfall. Oh, wait, he was alive 500 years before thou. 😐

I think he means that Shakespeare plagerised contemporary plays (missed out the 'A' in 'MAY'😉

Knightfall, I thought it was pretty much decided that he was a plageriser? Anyway... I don't see our mate Billy posting his work in the General Fiction Area, do you?

Well, no, but it would DEFIniTELY be funny... then again, taht would be plagierising the plagierist... crap... that's worse than the Law and Order nutjob!

What if e write a story abaout something, and it turns out that somone had written like almost the exact same thing? Like not word fo word but the same plot and characters an such.

😐

And where has that happened...?

I'd find it difficult to believe, to be honest - the same characters, especially if they are fictional...

I bet it happens everyday. Not the same character names but general plot ideas and characteristics. The fact is that so many books and movies have been made it is quite difficult to come up with a new stroy that doesnt seem somewhat similar to another one before it.

Not exactly the same plot, though. Obviously, the very basic ones are repeated again and again, but more complicated plots are not.

Pardon me, but I have an idea, don't know if anyone thought of it.

Maybe so that plagerizing wouldn't be so big, the mod here, (which I believe is Captain Rex) should start giving them warnings or something about being banned. It could make it so that people are clear about not plagerizing. It's a thought.

Plagiarising isn't a big deal on the site. Just a couple of people who thought it would be funny (or make them look clever) to do it. If someone plagerises, I think the thread is simply closed or deleted. Am I right, Rex?

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't read the other pages, so I assumed that they were all about different people and how they plagerized.

You dont have to sign very post, dude...

Threads are closed and edited, usually.

Denniz234 has been accused and found guilty of plagiarizing a Harry Potter story in the HP section. She didn't even spell 'Lily' right. First person since last year. 😱

That's a grand total of...four plagiarists! 🙄

Thank you for your concern, Terry, but it's not a big problem 😉

Plagerising is so pointless. If you can't come up with a story line of your own, why are you even writing in the first place? Makes no sence at all.

I've been accused of plagiarism, as I posted on quizilla(MissPinkness), harrypotterfanfiction.com (SweetAsLemons), some harry/ginny fansite (Sunlit Nights) and here (Diamodns), with all different names 🙄

Someone plagiarised Dostojevsky? Hi-****ing-larious.

I had nowhere to post this monolouge I wrote...so i will do it here:

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
