academic dishonesty

zayne wants to put his head in his hands, but the quivering student in front of him already looks frightened enough.

“h-hey, dr. li. you wanted to talk about my paper?”

“yes,” zayne responds. “while serving as a special lecturer this semester, i’ve been exposed to many writing styles. however, on your most recent assignment, yours doesn't seem quite as human as your classmates’. it reads a bit…artificial.” 

it’s an accusation veiled in a cheap mask and a trench coat. the student knows where this is headed; still, they try to hold their ground. “i’m sorry?”

pushing his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, zayne pulls out the offending paper from his oak desk drawer. “well, right here, for example. in your concluding paragraph, ‘you’ seem to write in circles, without ever establishing a coherent point.” he clears his throat and begins reading.

“‘a healthy heart isn’t just a benefit — it’s the key to a good life. why is this? the answer isn’t hard to guess — it’s straightforward. cardiovascular health doesn’t improve fitness. it is fitness. it’s life. it’s longevity. it’s legacy. in the quiet uncertainties of humanity, it’s the thing that never stops beating,’” he recites. 

the student fidgets with their hands. “yup! that sums up everything i learned this unit.”

“hm. what especially caught my eye,” zayne adds dryly, “is this bit right before the ending lines. it differs vastly in tone. it’s conversational and strangely reassuring, as though someone forgot to remove it before submission.” he reads aloud once again.

“‘for a three-thousand-word heart anatomy paper, this works as a brief but interesting conclusion paragraph on the impact of cardiovascular fitness. if you want me to edit for tone or clarity, just let me kn—’”

betrayed by their refusal to proofread, the student finally cracks. “okay, okay! i get it. i didn’t realize i left the prompt in there before i hit ‘submit.’” they scratch their neck sheepishly, looking anywhere but their professor. “i just had a busy weekend, dr. li. i was going to write it myself, i swear, but the game on friday went into overtime, and then my roommate got dumped and i had to comfort them, and there was so much traffic on the way back from the bar—”

“i understand.”

the student freezes at zayne’s calm voice, shoulders sagging in relief. “really? so you'll let it go?”

“no.” zayne says simply. “when a patient is bleeding out on the table, your intelligence will need to be anything but artificial. you’ll receive a failing grade for this assignment. however, since you eventually admitted your misdeed, i will open extra credit opportunities to you in the coming weeks. if you continue to seek outside help from anything but the campus tutoring center or my office hours, you may be subject to expulsion.”

the student’s face flashes through the stages of grief. his tone is so crisp, his voice so final, that all that comes out is a feeble squeak. “yes, sir. i’m sorry.”

zayne plucks off his glasses and lays them on the desk. sighing, he gathers the “essay” in his hands and returns it to the student. “apologize to yourself. you’re a bright person, but you severely underestimate your own intellectual abilities by trying to take shortcuts. don’t let it cost you your future.”

Will you be finishing back to you ?

No rush at all I was just wondering if it was on hold or hiatus, I’ve been checking for an update lol

hi!! sorry i've taken a bit of time to respond, but yes i will be finishing it!! it's just taking some time because its quite a long story (seriously, i think its gonna end up being like. 100k at least. RELEASE ME) and i get burnt out writing it quite often, so i've been bouncing around from wip to wip as i complete it!!! uni has also been putting me through the wringer, but thank you sm for waiting around for it<3

do you think this person lowkey plagiarized you

hi anon, firstly thank you for telling me about this. the general concept of this fic (both the first and second part, i checked) seems to circle the same general theme and idea of my fic, as does the fact that the title is quite literally the same 😭 sex being a learning experience for writing is the crux of my fic - literally the entire plot - and it seems to be the same for this one. all this makes me iffy and i won't lie, a little uncomfortable.

however, the story itself seems to be different. i skimmed through most of it just to check, and although some parts are similar, most of it is different. so i'm gonna give the writer the benefit of the doubt here 😭😭😭 i don't really know if this would count as plagirising me, because it is different but also the similarities that exist are like. pretty weirdly similar. yk?

[cityselcouth]
