Perhaps this is going to be wanky but perhaps not...


Is anyone really truly shocked that a person who began in fandom with copy/pasting other people's works into her own livejournal would then plaigarise after being called on the copy/pasting? Seriously?

I have no sympathy whatsoever for those that are shocked and upset over this. None whatsoever. Sorry (not really) but there you have it.


In less wanky news... I'm up to 5 lbs lost. My coworker told me my ass was looking perky... should I be worried?

I'm not paying that much attention to all of that, but I guess I wouldn't necessarily assume that someone who copied & pasted fics in his/her journal would move on to plagiarism, no. But, I am not shocked that it happened, in a general sense.

Also, I probably wouldn't freak out about someone plagiarized from me. I'm just not sure that I would care.

*sigh* I don't see the point of copying. How is that fun? I guess some people are more looking for the instant gratification of "omg u r awesome" reviews than the slower satisfaction of seeing yourself get better at something over time.

C/P'ing without crediting is the same as plagiarism but much less subtle. That she moved on to something more subtle really isn't that much of a shock.

If someone takes a plot or something from me, fine, it wasn't mine to begin with unless it's some of the few original works I have on this journal. But the style and flow? That's all me. I'd be upset about that if I ever caught someone doing it.

Yeah, I don't get it either. IT's really just the fastlane to a quick boot out of fandom... not the fastlane to popularity.
