Time to rename my ff.net tag

[ratherastory]

Holy crap.

Yet another snide suggestion of plagiarism. On the plus side, they keep suggesting I'm plagiarizing talented authors (in this case kroki_refur), so I guess they think the writing is good?

*shakes head*

It's a crack!fic, people! It's not meant to make sense, it was written off-the-cuff, and just because an author and I have ONE plot element in common does NOT make my work plagiarized!

GAH.

*stabbity*

I am renaming my "fanfiction.net" tag to "pit of voles" now, just out of spite.

OMG IT'S SUDDENLY CLEAR TO ME NOW, YOU STEAL ALL YOUR IDEAS FROM KROKI! Who steals them from Estei. I mean, I totally read that whole alter thing in a fic of hers, first. Or was it gekizetsu? You know, actually, it might have been an episode of the show.

OMG, EVERYONE IN FANDOM IS PLAGIARIZING EVERYONE ELSE! That's why there's all that wing fic!

OMG YOU HAVE CRACKED THE SECRET OF FANDOM!

I totes have!

So . . . am I reading the wrong reviews, here? Because I see one on the mpreg fic that mentions Kroki's fic . . . but it's just a "it kind of reminded me of hers here", not a "OMG YOU TOTALLY STOLE THAT FROM KROKI". It doesn't read to me like any sort of suggestion or accusation of plagiarism.

Enh. I'm notoriously oversensitive. That entire review reads like a backhanded compliment to me.

Oh, it's definitely tonally awkward (a little OTT, especially) and the comparison with Kroki's story is definitely not what I would call totally favorable. But I don't get "plagiarism!" from it at all.
