Oh goodness. There can't POSSIBLY be two stories about a similar concept on a fan fiction site? We need to organize a site wide watch and make sure they are credited to the original writer who came up with a similar concept! Quick, form a group and send notifications to all the "Twilight has deeper feelings for her mentor than teacher/student relationship", "Raridash shipping due to rarity getting Dash to dress up in something sexy" "Discords turns the main six into sex slaves through a series of sexy traps in the maze" and "Romantic comedy appledash of them coming to terms with being bisexual, brought on by a seemingly innocent event that makes them see each other in a different light" stories!

..This looks a LITTLE too familiar..

4815242 Ya know, if you read far enough on the description I do have a link to the orginal. I credited the author, we are talking and its fine. So plz don't build this into a war in my comments.

4815233 I credited the original person in my description if you bothered to read it all the way through. And your not even talking about the right story, I based my story off of Lunar Domination by Alcaltraz. So plz retract your statement before I delete it myself.

4815256 ..Really.

I was saying that it's too close to the source material and you say i'm starting a war.

4815337 Sorry! But a few ppl send me some nasty stuff about not crediting and i'm really getting annoyed. Plus, it might seem close but its got a big suprise at the end that makes it so different.

Author wanted to reimagine my Lunar Domination story because they liked it so much. I said that would be awesome. It doesn't matter what-so-ever if there's stories with similar concepts across FIMFiction. If one story was only allowed one concept, then I wouldn't have any stories!

It doesn't matter if this story parallels mine, what matters is Author asked me if they could reimagine my original story, which I said they could. Yesterday was spent tossing ideas back and forward, and I even edited a chapter for them.

Stories like mine and subsequently this will always cop hate simply for the content and the fact that people won't like the triggers. Haters gonna hate. If you don't like it, go do something else with your time that doesn't involve antagonizing the author. They have my support with this story and I stand by it.

4815482 OK SERIOUSLY. READ A BIT MORE OF THE COMMENTS.

I said it was TOO CLOSE TO IT.

4815616

It doesn't matter. There are always going to be stories that have that kind of similarity. Reimagining a story will do that.

4815625 Ughh...ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

You have got to be kidding.

I said. It. Was. Too. Close.

Too. Similar.

MEANING IT NEEDS TO BE MORE DIFFERENT. I make one vague comment, and even after i reconfirm what i mean with the author (Which didn't need that much confirming), another guy is saying that.

4815640

So long as Author isn't copy-pasting like someone else did, then I've got no problem with it being too close. That much is YOUR problem.

4815654

This might as well be a re-write of the story. There has to be at least SOMETHING original.

4815697

Is it original to write a bunch of stories based off of My Little Dashie?

I'm confused, are you replying to the right person?

Stranger accused you of stealing. I replied with a sarcastic remark about how there should not be two stories of a similar concept on the site at all; and jokingly insinuated we should start a mob to go after every story that has similar themes, followed by naming several themes which had multiple stories on the site revolving around the same concept. My statement was in the defense of your story, not attacking it.

And your not even talking about the right story,

What story did I talk about? I never mentioned another story, or said you were copying a story at all, let alone the WRONG story? Are you replying to the right comment regardless of them being in support or against you, or are you just lashing out at every comment because a handful have gotten on your nerves?

4815748

Not particularly, no.

I know everything on this site is derivative; it's a fanfiction site. But this is writing the same exact story, down to quite a few of the details.

4815482

I'm...confused. You and the author may have missed the point of my post.

Stranger attacked the story for copying. I attacked his statement by sarcastically remarking that there should never be 2 stories of a similar theme on the site. And suggested a mob style roundup of every story on the site with similar or heavily used themes to make sure the one who thought up the idea of that type of story first should be credited.

This is sarcasm.
Sarcasm. Noun. The use of irony to mock or convey contempt. Once again, as should be noted by the fact it is in reply to a statement that is the opposite of mine, that it is directed AT STRANGER. NOT THE AUTHOR OR THE STORY

TL:DR My statement was mocking the guy who called the author a thief.

4815788

It behooves me to say that sarcasm cannot be conveyed without blatantly saying so.

None-the-less, I apologize for calling you out on your comment.

...So you thought I was being serious when I suggested we band together to send warnings to every author who has written a Appledash story where they realize they are attracted to each other through some innocent event; a frequently used cliche in shipping fics?

I'm honestly a little more upset you read that statement and think I meant every word of it.

Edit: Not to mention it would have a decent chance of crashing the site sending out that many PMs at once

Edit edit: That statement was a joke. It is saying that there it is so overused, sending that many PM's would crash the site. I realize you have a bit of trouble spotting them when they are not pointed out.

4815819

I've been awake for all of two hours; I didn't get to sleep until late and I don't sleep well period. My brain doesn't function well in these instances. So yes, I am a complete idiot for reading your comment and thinking you were serious.

Author came to me wanting to reimagine my story. That's what they're doing. They're changing things for the most part but other than that the continuity will be the same. If you don't like it, that much is your problem.

By no means is it a copy-paste, the first chapter was written to the same effect as mine is. I think it's flattering above anything else that someone would use my story as inspiration for their own. As far as I'm concerned, the story is original but the mechanics are borrowed from mine. Again, nothing wrong with that.

He's never gonna get away with that. She's the ruler of the country. What, does he think the chance to bang her is worth either a life sentence or death?

This story is not original. too much like every other luna rape. this peticular story though...... It seems familiar....

7078482 Do you know the titles of those story. I'll like to see for myself.
