The only way to prevent this is to never post it in the first place. -I believe that fanfiction is a medium that uses another person's creation, world, characters, etc, but most importantly is uses another person's audience and that is what ultimately what makes it fanfiction to begin with. So just because your fanfic only shares character names and nothing else in common with the originating story, the fanfic author has still used the audience to gain support and encouragement. -I believe that removing a story because it's been plagiarised does nothing more than remove the proof that you wrote the original and I guarantee you that pulling your story does not stop that plagiarist from having a full copy of your story on their hard drive. -I believe that review count does not indicate the quality of a story... typically it just reveals how much smut is in a story... and does a lot of smut equate to a story anyway? I prefer plot and a story that evokes emotion any day of the week. -I believe that some of you have enough talent and skill to one day write your own original novel and have it published... you know, provided it's actually original. -I believe that some of us only have enough talent to write really good fanfic... AND THAT'S OKAY!!! -I believe that writing a fanfic WIP takes teamwork and without one member of that team, the entire story wouldn't be what is has become. The writer, the betas/cheerleaders, & the READERS! By removing a story to "publish" the reader's hard work in reviewing and offering support or simply asking questions is ignored and that reader is told that their input wasn't valuable. Funny, the author never realises how valuable that feedback truly was until they try to write something else without posting as they wrote. The quality goes down and most times the motivation to continue forward is gone. No wonder readers are becoming so frustrated and are no longer trusting authors. -I believe that fanfiction should be fun and enjoyable. -I believe that fanfiction encourages creativity and cultivates friendships. It can be a wealthy garden. -I believe that there are very few original plots and that most stories (profic & fanfic) is just reworking standard plot lines with the author's unique storytelling and a few twists. So quit fretting about being original and quit telling me that I stole your idea because I wrote a "pregnant by a one-night stand" fic. *eyeroll* -I believe that nearly everyone has at least one story in them that is dying to be told... so go tell it! 8 Rules for Writing a Short Story (but, take a look, these really apply to most every work of fiction) by Kurt Vonnegut 1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted. 2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for. 3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water. 4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action. 5. Start as close to the end as possible. 6. Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of. 7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia. 8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages. Fine... I don't agree with the last one so much. I think that most stories need to have some suspense in them to keep things interesting. But I also believe in moderation. After all, readers only have so much patience. | |||||||
