The no copy cats club

When people want to steal they will steal anything. Tanja plaigerized pretty much any genre you can think of and in this past case, all three of these were original fictions. I don't get it and never will lol plaigerists boggle my mind.

I can only imagine these writers' reactions when they found out this chick copied their stories, replaced their original characters with the Backstreet Boys, and reposted them as BSB fanfics.  That's even worse than Tanja replacing our boys with Busted and McFly.

I can't believe she showed no remorse. That pisses me off even more.I knew something was off with her stories and didn't want to believe it. I even tried googling Better Late Than Never because I had a feeling something was amiss (Nicks eye color would go from amber to blue) But it wasn't until I was reading Red Backpack that realized that her writing wasn't consistent. You know what through me off? The fact that god was censored. Given the nature of the other stories it totally confused me. So I searched Red Backpack and it was the first thing that came up on google search. Now I did think that she might have changed her alias and character names but I looked up Better Late Than Never on the same site and there it was, by a different author. SMH. I'm just glad that I got to tell the original author that I loved her story. And that I wasn't going crazy. LOL

I really don't understand people who steal other people's work and try to pass it off as their own.  I feel sorry for the real author feeling the need to take her story down because of some stupid girl.  And for her to show no remorse either just shows what kind of person she is.

If people can't think of their own story then they shouldn't write!

I think being inspired by something you've seen/read is different though.  I've read some Twilight fanfics in the past which were better stories than the Stephenie Meyer ones!  I've also got a story I'm currently writing which is inspired by lots of films I've seen over the years, and also real life stories. 

mare:
Yeah, I don't understand it either. I mean even if you live someone's story you could always just ask them if it's ok if they turn it into a bsb story. You never know, they might say yes, but to just steal it and claim it as your own is just so weird to me. It has to be some kind of illness.
