The RED is being plagiarized?
This is actually something I've always feared and now I'm experiencing it first hand.
Someone actually had the audacity to plagiarize from my story, The RED, use Min as the main character and post it here on AFF.
Not only is the description about the fate of the world depending on a "stubborn Hunter" and "uncooperative Wolf" but the first chapter is almost exactly like mine. I already reported it and hopefully it gets sorted out soon.
Update: Omg, the moderator worked so fast. The story got banned immediately because they said, and I quote "The likenesses have been seen as too abundant to be anything but plagiarism, so the story has been banned." This is what I love about AFF. Thank you so much!!!♡♡♡
Please, guys... refrain from stealing other people's works. It's nice to be inspired but there is a HUGE difference between inspiration and plagiarism. It's not fair to the original writers who spend their time coming up with the plot, characters, setting, history, mythology and so much more for someone to come along and just try to pass off their work as their own without putting even a fraction of time into it. These stories are our babies and it's not right for people to just try and take them. Please have some respect. If you wish to be a writer, then write from your own creation, not from someone elses. If that's the case then just stick to reading because it's not okay.
Also, if anyone else suspects someone of plagiarizing from one of my stories, please let me know ASAP. And if you find yourself in this situation, where you fear that someone has plagiarized from one of your stories, please do not hesitate to report them immediately. Explain to them what you think is being plagiarized and send them a link to your story so they can compare the two.
