CRAP! I WAS THERE AT THOSE FORUMS AND I TOTALLY MISSED THAT LINK!!!!

OMFG
THE NERVE OF THAT *BEEEEPPP* *BEEP*-TARD. ChibiSecchan you so saved the day.

Hmm. We sure go to the same forums.

So Close is such a great fic and a person stealing it and saying it is their own just sucks and should take their own time and actually try to write a half decent fic. Butthead.

Whoa! I didnīt notice this post either >_<. Iīm happy in the end that little brat had a punishment. These things drive mad >_< Itīs because a year ago, a guy take my fic of FFVII ( my only and precius fic TOT!!!) and published it, saying (in same language ŽŽ) it was his u_u. I couldnīt do anything, because I havenīt published it yet >__> I only gave it to some friends... and, yes, he used to be one of them ŽŽ... Well, itīs better no to remember.. it makes me feel REALLY angry.

Anyway, well done ChibiSecchan!! You are our idol =D

Same with Setenshi, Catten says "WAAAH?! I visit that forum almost daily and missed it?!"

Honestly, what is the world coming to, people all of a sudden being all "Oh noes(I did this on purpose, don't mark this as a typo o_O)! I want to be famous and I don't think I have any skill! I think I'll just steal this and be recognized for it!"

Jeez, you'll be famous if you work hard to your goal, not by cheating, I mean, you do not see Britney Spears stealing Beatles' lyrics (Though I dread what will happen if she did...) do you? She started out from scratch in Star Search and worked her way up and became succesful a singer (...?). Then there is Heise of Deviant Art (I'd have to slap you if you do not know Heise) who started out drawing colorful manga images to creating realistic supernatural CG and paintings.

These people worked hard to acheive their status and are now recognized for that work. What I see in stealing work is a shortcut. People are too ^%$# lazy to do work so they try to use a shortcut so that they will be recognized instantly. What losers they are!

So, all I could say is the losers who are too lazy to actually do any work need not to even think to try being recognized at all. If you plan on stealing something just so you can be praised, then you truly are a loser too desperate to want recognition.

End of ramble/speech.

Someone's head is going to roll here.
My fics? They were hard earned through research and reading to much books, anime and non-anime, and by combining those ideas and turning them into brainstorms, I was able to make it.
I hope the person is caught...

Which I am now going to change the subject;
How do you get your inspirations on your fanfics?
Generally, I'm talking to everyone

If you've read my (long) intro then this is why I refuse to post on the internet until I get it published.

Also, I mentioned in my intro that one of my characters was based of Kazumi Asakura. How similar could I get without being accused of plagiarizing, I mean, aside from a name change, change of nationality and change of hair/eye colour. 'Coz I've already done those, but a hardcore Kazumi fan would probably spot the similarity...

:o Times like these I regret not taking Chinese school, people like that should be ashamed, it only shows they are liars, and can't do their own things, but instead have to steal! It happened to me once, and PMed the person luckily they were so arrogant, and thought they could get away with it since it was only a PM, but I took a screenshot and reported and they got caught! B)

Plagiarizing= BAD!!! VERY, VERY BAD!!!
Wow, it's a really big deal to some writers (no... all writers, but some care less)
Well done, ChibiSecchan.... good job.
Is it me, or am I the only one here who writes her name
'Setchan'?

It makes sense to me....
'Momitchi'
'Satchan'
'Setchan'
'Kucchan'

XD I should start giving out Yuki-fied nicknames.

Like to my friend Haru.... *giggles*

Anyway. Plagiarism is really not good. It's awful, and if it was done to me, I would be totally cross. *frown*
