Plagiarism? Or creative writing??
Hi all,
I've got an idea for fanfic, but I'm terrible at getting things ACTUALLY written. However, I love to edit the sh!+ outta things. So, I was thinking, what if I took one of these random harlequin romance books I get in all the time at work, steal the smex scene, change the character names, and then edit the nyar outta it until it's barely recognizable?
Would that be considered plagiarism? What if I said I did it and actually scanned in the pages I stole from (and linked to the book)? Would that still make it extremely uncouth? Would you read the fic, or would you avoid it and why?
Poll Plagerism?
