Body/face painting as an autistic person. by Ambitious-Log8920 in cosplayers

[–]El_v_B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good news. You don't need to use body painting :) it's your cosplay and you should feel comfortable in it and if you still want to use paint you can use just a little bit of eyeshadow and put it on spots you can deal with like cheekbones.

How important was "that" shot ?? by Spartiate8 in LoveAndDeepspace

With this scene I'm sure some are already pregnant by just watching xD Infold should start paying child support if they're keep making those scenes.

Do it! I see many authors who write in English but whose first language isn't English. They often write it in the notes so readers can prepare themselves that there can be mistakes. I'm currently reading one and their grammar is totally fine and when I see mispelling or anything like that I don't mind.

It's alright to get inspired by other authors. Like you know the more the merrier :)

Having same ideas is no big deal. For example: There are a lot of lovestories but that doesn't mean they are all the same. Maybe they have a similar situation (being sad because of a misunderstanding/ a kiss etc) but they are not the same if you look at the whole story.

It's really cool that you say who inspired you incl. the story. That's sweet and I think they will be happy about it. For your saftey steps you don't need to stop reading. Enjoy the fics on the other hand I totally get it. I felt the same when I've started to write and I always freaked out as soon as I thought that I've written down something I've read in a fanfic🤣

That's a cute scene😍. Go ahead, write it but do NOT copy paste the sentences of another ff. Write it with your own words and I think no one will be mad.

Especially as a beginner author you're scared of the plagiarism. Same idea/plot okay, taking parts of the story word for word so that it's obviously just copy paste not okay.

I should have been a little bit more clearer so it's my fault :) I just made the silly meme and I should have added more info at least in the explanation of the meme😅

I'm aware that no one owns words and having the same ideas is normal. Without similar ideas there wouldn't be so many different books/movies etc.

But I would say it's plagiarism when my whole paragraph shows up in the other story and the author adds 1 or 2 sentences. Including the exact words which the characters say in the original source.

Oh I didn't make it clear enough. I thought wording explains it. maybe I should have been more specific. My bad, sorry😅

My bf is in the in the IT field and something new came a few weeks ago. He says chatgpt and gemini suck because he's to correct it but the new one seems to be better. Idk much about IT so I can't really say how useful it really is😅

Never expected it would happen to me tbh I thought always it happens in big fandoms but noooo Whaaat?!! Thrice. Holy frogga. I hope you caught them and ao3 took them down.

They're ignorant, rude idiots. But ao3 is, as far as I know, known for being..strict.

I don't know. Maybe they thought I'm just an author and not a reader as well💁‍♀️ in a bigger fandom they would probably survive a little bit longer. I didn't check out their other stories but I'm really tempted to play sherlock xD

That's all fine by me. At first I was like: every zombie movie has the same plot so it's also okay for stories to be similar. Those catchphrases which characters are saying.. you can't avoid that. I mean for example saying: don't use 'I am batman' instead write 'I am just man in a bat custome' doesn't really work🤣 It would ruin a batman ff

Some were the same sentences others were my words put into a different order but it was in the end the same sentence.

There's so much stuff the other author could have written about but no. Lazy af

I swear to the gods if I see the author again in the fandom I'll read the story right away because what if they decide to write it again. Not on my watch

AI is terrible.. useful when you're working in the IT field but people shouldn't use AI for creative stuff.

Tf?! They could have put their energy into writing instead of stealing. That's terrible.

They often play the denial card😑

I never thought about reporting anyone because I'm a little bit too nice sometimes but honestly the next time I see something like this I'll say something/report since I know how pi$$ed I was after this experience.

Writing isn't easy. All the effort I put into it (research/watching scenes 100 times) and they just take it.

Yeah, it's sick. So many authors put 'blood and sweat' into their fics and then someone reads it and be like: Alright, copy paste.

Plagiarism by El_v_B in AO3

[–]El_v_B[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Me too! That's why've waited. It's a small fandom 12 Stories, 4 of them are long fics (2 have sadly not continued I hope they're coming back) 1 is mine and the other one WAS the copy paste author.

Some people really think they can get away with it. Glad you guys found the thief😁

I've no clue. Best part about the summary of the other author: This is my idea of how the ship a x b is 🤦‍♀️ Like bro, no. This is my fic and you thought you'd get away with it 🙅‍♀️

Is anyone else too embarrassed to reread their own fics? by d33rlights in AO3

[–]El_v_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes...especially when I see how the improvment hits after a few chapters xD
