A piece in the New Yorker on plagiarism in the world of Romantasy publishing that mentions cheese-shifting. Probably the first time "cheese-shifting" has been mentioned in that publication and hopefully the last (I mean I'm definitely going to read several cheese-shifting books though).

Whoops. I think I just accidentally disqualified my poem for a magazine that I submitted work to.

The Cristiane Serruya Plagiarism Scandal - Plagiarism Today

Until earlier this week, Cristiane Serruya seemed like a potentially budding romance author. However, in a tumultuous 24 hours, it all came crashing down.

“In short, for authors like Serruya, publishing has become a quantity game rather than a quality one and they are going to great lengths to make it happen. It’s highly unlikely that Serruya is the only author, likely not even the only romance author, doing exactly this or even doing worse.“

I find this fascinating.

I just wanna say thank you to all fan fic writers for being my happy place and my source of escape from reality. You bring me more comfort than you know. And I wish I could tell every writer that.
