I'm sure this thread doesn't need yet another pissed off reader/writer expressing how strongly she feels about plagiarism and the immorality of doing so
but
as several peeps mentioned it is so maddening to think that there are people who are so desperate for attention that they go to the trouble of passing off somebody else's hardwork and creativity as their own; wronging not only the original writer but also their often hundreds of avid readers who have been duped. Not only do they milk out compliments and likes from these readers but some of then have the freaking audacity to DEMAND likes and comments before updating. WTH man.
That to me just demonstrates that these cheaters have absolutely no regard for anybody else's feelings or trust.
IPKKND is one of those shows that has the craziest, most loyal, ardent fans and naturally thousands and thousands of people across the world log on to IF every day to relive ArHi through the works of the writers on IF. For all those readers who have enjoyed these people's works without realising it has been plagiarised... Disgust is perhaps the best word to sum up that feeling
other guys have also alluded to the frustating knowledge that these cheaters receive so many likes/comments and appreciation for work where their only contribution has been to copy, paste and change names while there are plenty of newbie writers who are posting original pieces but lack the established reader base so perhaps do not get so many likes/comments
I think this situation sucks
and I sincerely hope that all the plagiarisers stop or just leave IF so that we can all enjoy each other's works without
a) recognising the writing/concepts as your own
b) recognising the work as somebody else's
c) discovering that it has been copied off actual, professional literature
d) fearing for your own work
this forum can be so much fun; let's clear out the cheating and focus only on the good!
