All that was changed were names because they were converted to a different fandom. Other

Ironically, in her profile at fanfiction.net she's posted a survey about herself that includes this line:

In the past month have you Stolen Anything: I don't steal!

Unless u count fanfiction, which isn't stealing because their steeling from the other person who made it orgi ... origin ... first!

Wow, I really don't know where some people's logic comes from...

[selimnagisokrov]

Actually that logic isn't all that far off. It's the first thing you learn in any literature text -- all literature has, by some means, a predecessor. No one can really come up with an original because we take stories and examples from what we hear and see in life. This however isn't called plagiarism because it's not verbatim.

Everyone takes ideas here and there; an author can't work without them. But words cannot express how much effort has been put into one of the stories we wrote that she stole (and which we wouldn't mind publishing after changing the names), and I assure you, it is not the same thing. At all.

Wasn't saying it's justifying her actions, merely explaining a thought on the subject. Ideas are one thing. Words are another.
