A General Note To The General Public
So I’m here again, addressing an issue I do not want to address. Please bear with me.
Although I’m not a big fan of my own works and will never in a million years say something along the lines of “omgmyworkdunsteeeeel”, please don’t plagiarize. Yes, paraphrasing it in your own words without citation is still defined as plagiarism. It’s nice to know that people like the stinky fics I write, but when I read a fic and get uncanny shivers down my spine because of how familiar it sounds, it makes me queasy. :x
I spent months on these stupid little things. I’ve sacrificed my banquet and senior prom and sleep time and homework time to get these out to you guys. I’m really, genuinely happy when people like them, and it surprises me when they do because I usually can’t bear to reread them [which makes editing a hassle].
In other words, you don’t want to copy my work; it’s simply not worth your time. I’m not some paranoid psycho that thinks the world is out to get me. I know when your sentences, structure, and plot very closely resemble mine; I’d spent hours upon hours killing myself over those sentences. Go ask SoDanielle, I spend more time agitating over my fics than women spend in labor [<-this is a joke :x]. I’m not going to lash out at you. Just don’t do it, please? [Styles and phrases and very general overarching plotlines are fine. Just not like, entire paragraphs worth… I’m not going to bring out the technicalities of plagiarism. You know when you’re reading something that you’ve read before, especially when in large quantities.]
That’s all. :] Go on and do what you want. IRAF is my gift to the ichi_ruki community and Bleach fandom because I love them so much. What people choose to do with it is up to them. Just know that it makes me sad when I see things like this happen, because then I annihilate small countries. :) This is the first and last time I’m going to address this issue. Comments are off because I don’t want to acknowledge this sort of thing anymore. In the heart of fandom, we’re still… somewhat sane beings.
*dances away with hands over ears*
