It makes me really sad to see people openly stealing smothered persons ideas. They often get credit for excellent story writing and brilliant ideas when all they essentially did was copy and paste.
I agree completely agree with everything you said and if I ever discovered I was a victim of plagiarism I would ne heartbroken. My work is MY work and if you can't think of ideas then go outside and get fucking inspired...either that or drop the shit and find a new hobby because this clearly ain't working out for yaAuthor's response
That's exactly why I'm hesitant to post any more stories. They're stories I've put time and effort into and I don't want someone to just steal the idea and post it as their own.

Exactly and we take our ideas and decide to share them with everyone, people should respect that and not take it upon themselves to steal. We share them for reading purposes NOT for reposting and pretending you've written it.
Similarities will occur in stories from time to time but I believe ideas are endless and the human imagination is a powerful thing. If people would just explore their mind a little more maybe they'd find an original and epic idea.Author's response
I'm glad someone agrees with the endless ideas. I've come up with some I've never even seen close to posting before, and it's a great feeling knowing you've come up with it yourself.

Yeah, you only get that feeling when you put in the time and effort to making it come to life. If you get that feeling when you plagiarize a story its based on lies and you must be pretty hollow or uncaring of other peoples feelings.
I like you, you make sense :)Author's response
Well thanks, it's nice to see someones as passionate about this as me.

It pisses me off, to no end, when people copy stories or plots. It's annoying and just plain disrespectful.
As for the character thing, feel better. Whoever did that was rude.
Anyways, I enjoyed your rant. I hope your day brightens up c:Author's response
I agree that it's disrespectful, it just shows that they don't care about the effort you've put into writing it.

I've also been on the site reading fics for, i don't know, seven years? I have only once come across with someone copying shit from an author who's no longer active. The story is still up, and I remember when it came out people were shitting their pants. Turned out that too many remembered the story, or had gone back with a 5 point filter in search for good ones.
BUT eventually what happened was that the author claimed to be the same dudette who posted it years ago under the old username. There's really no way to know whether it was true or not, but I hope it was.
I agree with Lolhai that there's a fine line between stealing a plot and doing your own thing that you just don't realize has been done 10759 times before, but plain plagiarism is just unrespectful and rude.
I mean, if you can't write or come up with a storyline to save your life (or atleast give it a fair try), then get the fuck over the fact that it apparently isn't one of your many talents and move on. buy a marionette or something.
Who's stupid enough to feel great about themselves when they get praise for work they never did, anyway? It's like the lamest sort of self-deceit i have heard of :DAuthor's response
Well in all honesty if they were reposting the story they would say so at the start. I have seen that, but it was an updated version of the story (a story I loved btw). But i think some people believe they can get away with copy and paste because the stories had been posted years ago. But there are people like us who have been reading on this website for many years and notice these copy and paste things instantly.

Hey, I just came across this post. FicWad always goes through the same things over and over. I came across a story I really liked and it turned out it was copied from a different website. People found out and flipped out, and I don't blame them. That person was getting all of this credit for suck a good story when the TRUE author should have gotten then credit.
I remember that I made a story about a killjoy school, someone found it and said that it was their idea and that I copied it even though I didn't even know about the story. I never continued with that story again because she demanded to have credit.
Someone also stole and idea of mine for a baby MCR thing. Different characters, same plot. Everything was the same...
In all honesty, this is why I am a little scared to post things on here anymore. Plagiarism.
