Important Update

I dreamed I plagiarized someone's story and I woke up feeling horrified and disappointed in myself. Isn't having a subconscious great?

I dreamed I went and toured the apartment I'm supposed to see next Monday, and there was a whole extra bedroom attached to the bathroom they never mentioned on their website!

Also no closets. :B

"I wasn't even going for that memory!"

What a nightmare. But are you sure it was plagiarism? Maybe you just wrote a poor attempt at parody or tribute and forgot to acknowledge your source.

Suuure... that must be what happened

It was a stunning display of plagiarism. I believe what happened was that I saw a story, said "this is the kind of story I'd write", took the text and inserted my own characters, and posted it. A real "What the hell, brain?" situation.

The sheer cussedness of the subconscious is often awe-inspiring.

I would read it...

Also, the key is to call it "research" (or liberal use of the [Crossover] tag)

And you can! It's called "Summit".

I kid. I do think Summit justifies its existence with the work that went into it. But if somebody wanted to make that argument, I mean, it's allowed.

Yeah...

That sounds like one of the dreams from the Tall Man. You know, the guy who stands behind the door of kids' bedrooms, who you instantly forget when you're not looking at him but cannot talk about when you are. You know, that guy :D ...What?
