![]() ![]() ![]() Did you pay the government a huge sum of money to buy the name bluebell? If not, I swear to god I will write a fanfic right here, right now with bluebell the dragon and tag you in it. Come find me on Ao3 to tell me that you didn't pay the money, I dare you. Seriously the audacity to say something like that. |
![]() ![]() ![]() I love it! |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is like a decade late I know, but in the offchance anyone sees this, I hope it helps them. You never created or owned the name Bluebell. It's not yours. It doesn't belong to you. The ame way Hiccup, Astrid, and anything else you reference in your story isn't yours. Those characters are owned by Dreamworks and Cressida Cowell. And you didn't even use a disclaimer, so that's just being hypocritical. Anyways, you can't go saying that any story that uses the name Bluebell is plagiarism. For one, it's a name, anyone could come up with it. And even though the chance of someone using the exact same name on the exact same character is low, it could still happen, unitentionally. That's not plagiarism, and you can't go making claims that it is without proper evidence. I thought it was common sense but apparently not. Your little rant at the end just seemed childish and petty. |
![]() ![]() I had forgotten how much I love this story. Rereading it is like running into an old friend that you haven't seen in ages. I can't tell you how happy I am that it is still posted. |
![]() ![]() It's not plagiarism if you give credit where it is due. People don't have to ask you. If you have any questions the Harvard website outlines what is considered plagiarism. |
![]() ![]() Isn't Astrids dragons name Stormfly? |
![]() ![]() Not using Bluebell as a name will not be a problem for me. Because Astrid's Nadder's name is STORMFLY. S-T-O-R-M-F-L-Y. |
![]() ![]() That was adorable. |
![]() ![]() What was the incident? Tell us, we all want to know! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Very good! |
![]() ![]() for everyone asking why she named astrid's dragon bluebell please look at the year when she wrote this fic. that's 2010 she haven't call it stormfly yet |
![]() ![]() 9/10 only thing is. Astrids dragon is named stormfly |
![]() ![]() ![]() This story's adorable! Thank you for writing it! |
![]() ![]() ![]() D'aaaaaw, that's cute. Pretty good little bit here. You're rant is kinda offputting and extreme though. You can't claim an entire story is plagiarism because it has used a name without permission. Sure, in the broadest sense of the word, taking a word without citing the source is plagiarism, but the entire story is not plagiarism because of that. In that definition, any fanfiction, at all, is plagiarism. Should it all be treated as such? |
![]() ![]() ![]() This is completely adorable and well written. Great job! :) |
