Let's talk about plagiarism ⁉️
It’s super sad and frustrating that I even have to address this issue again, especially within a community that should be a safe and supportive space for all writers
Plagiarism and copyright violations are extremely disrespectful and harmful!!!!
It’s incredibly disheartening when someone takes the time, effort, and passion I’ve put into my writing and claims it as their own. Fanfiction, like any other form of writing, is an expression of creativity and dedication. It takes HOURS of thought, planning, and emotion to bring these stories to life, and when someone copies or steals that work, it disrespects everything we've invested
And no, it’s not just a matter of giving credit, it's about respecting boundaries, creativity, and the law, which exist for a reason. They protect the rights of creators to their original work, ensuring that they have control over how it's used and shared
Copying someone’s writing without permission is not a form of flattery; it’s theft. It can be tempting to repost something you admire, but it’s essential to remember that asking for permission (and WAITING for it) or properly crediting the creator (IF permitted) shows respect and appreciation. There’s NO justification for claiming someone else’s hard work as your own
If you like someone’s fanfic, you can simply rebblog, like, or comment on it. Stealing words, ideas, or whole stories isn't right!! Please respect the boundaries and effort of writers ‼️
