    Credit Given Where Credit is Due

    There's a saying in writing "Take from one source, it's plagiarism. Take from ten sources, it's theft. Take from thirty sources, it's considered a tribute. Take from a hundred sources, it's considered worldbuilding." Sometimes, when reading a fic, I find an idea I like. This post will be comprised of ideas I like, where I found them and who wrote the stories the idea came from.

    On Authors, Lying and Retcons

    Before I begin, I may as well clarify the title and say that no, I'm not angry at authors saying one thing and then writing another.

    I was going to post an edited version of my OCs profiles, as there is some information on them that I either don't want you to have just yet (like Golden Sparkles cutie mark and talent) or wouldn't make sense without the proper context.

There's a saying in writing "Take from one source, it's plagiarism. Take from ten sources, it's theft. Take from thirty sources, it's considered a tribute. Take from a hundred sources, it's considered worldbuilding." Sometimes, when reading a fic, I find an idea I like. This post will be comprised of ideas I like, where I found them and who wrote the stories the idea came from.
