Plagiarism? · 6:50am Sep 5th, 2014
I've gotten a few messages that my story may be considered plagiarism, I'm not so sure I can actually finish the story now in good conscience. I was intending this to be a story with a few elements from the story since I loved it so much, but with it being considered plagiarism I'm not so sure if it's a good idea to finish it.
Not having any real grammar to back up my story either, I'm not doing it any justice.
I'll consider continuing it after a few days, but if I consider it plagiarism, I may not continue, but some other brave soul I just might give the story to.
I hope Necromancer Foal is continued though. That would make my day.
Whatever day.
Use of a similar idea? Yes. Outright plagiarism? No. Or at least, I haven't seen it and I've read both stories.
I don't consider it plagiarism because you will/write/tell it differently.
2429231 What Rain Nero said, using a similar idea is fine but not outright plagiarism. Don't let assholes get to you.
Plagiarism? Of what?
It better not be what I think it is.
I've read both and yeah the idea is similar, but it ain't plagiarized as far as I can tell. Reminds me of the whole Humans Acting Villanious, same idea, different ways to tell it.
Gasp, you used a similar premise! Clearly you copied Necromancer Foal front to back!
If you couldn't tell, the assfuck in the story comments who told you that you were plagiarizing
(1) Doesn't know what plagiarism even is and
(2) Is an assfuck who you should not listen to.
Yup, saw the comments claiming plagiarization. The verdict is, not guilty at this time. Until you actually start ripping written aspects off of Foal Necromancer it's not plagiarization. Which is pretty much what everyone but the guy who claimed as such said.
I vote continue the story... And read Foal Necromancer again to make sure it doesn't happen in the future, not because its awesome and you should read it again anyway.
I wouldn't call it plagiarism, especially when that story is on hiatus.
I'm not seeing any plagiarism in your story unless there is another story out there I don't know about. If they are talking about Necromancer Foal then your story may have a couple similar elements to it but is still very different from what I've seen. If that story did influence yours though it is polite to mention that like a few others stories have done.
It's technically isn't plagiarism unless you copied it from someone else's story word for word then claimed it as your own work, if you didn't than it is more correct to say that story was inspired by someone else's story, so you should in the clear if it's the latter.
Well, with all that said and confirmed, I shall continue to write the story! Hopefully I can have it be longer than the last!
Foal Necromancer just plain isn't going to continue. It's sad, but it won't. So PLEASE don't stop writing this.
2429357 I'm going to do that before I make another chapter! I'll first reread Foal Necromancer!
As of right now, calling your work plagiarism is like comparing Coke to Pepsi, very similar to another yes, but different. There is not enough story to really be sure, so continue, and prove them wrong. Besides, there are so many stories out there that borrow a concept from other stories, or came up with the same idea independently.
I am fairly cretin that this is not plagiarism. It is most definitely similar but not plagiarism.
