Important things first. Though I have been IFing for more than a year now I have never read any of Munchy's stories. So I don't have any idea about the story mentioned in your note. But I would be damned if I don't say this. I would not listen to anyone saying that Rae is plagiarising stories/characters/scenes etc. because for me AngelTeen is the fighter in this forum and that would remain the same for me. While everyone took their work to restricted blogs to stop their work from getting plagiarised Rae and Krani were the only ones to come forward to protect the stories that were being published here on IF. Last but not least, Rae, YOU are a fighter and I hope that things will get cleared between you and munchy, considering the fact that you both are great writers as well as good friends. Cheers.

That is completely ridiculous. Assuming I knew nothing of Rae and her work, I would still be sceptical to believe such an accusation, because firstly, why would she be so actively fighting plagiarism (and getting much awaited, much needed action) if she was going to plagiarise other people's work? Secondly, why would she post such a story in a place where anyone can access it? Thirdly, why would she even take the risk to copy a story that is SO popular among IF readers and post it amongst said readers? Come on.

I might not have read the story 'Before the Last Sun Sets' but I have read many pieces of brilliant creativity from this author, and I can honestly say she doesn't need to do something as cheap as copy a fellow writer's work, because she can draw in just as much appreciation by her talent alone.

And I would urge whoever would like to disagree with me (or should I say us, because many people seem to share my views) to kindly read her story properly instead of just the fact that Arnav is a gangster, let Rae take it where she wants it to go, before they make such empty accusations, because otherwise, they're just risking embarrassment.

I read this story until CH 5 and found no similarities other than the fact that Arnav is a gangster. And that's not copyrighted.

okay, first of all I have not read Before The Last Sun Set...and I dont know if you noticed or remembered that I started to read your work very recently, to be honest TTLG is the first story of yours I have come across..
but i do know you yourself were a victim of plagiarism and had fought hard against it...and to me this accusation against you is completely unbelievable and unacceptable... I have had a very little interaction with you through your work and even to me this is the most bizarre thing a fighter against plagiarism could be accused of... I am really surprised!!

I just hope things sort out b/w two of you and want to tell you it is really commendable how graciously you are dealing with this issue..just keep your spirits high.. you know and your readers know how much inappropriate the accusation is...
best wishes.. =))

not certainly wht i expected when i saw tht note heading


well i have never read munchy's work because i joined if when the show was abt to end so i can not comment on the similarities of the storyline or characters. but for me it doesn't make sense for a established writer whose work had been previously plagiarized to copy someone's else work, make a new blog for it and go to the trouble of updating a new episode while deleting the previous. phewww who has so much time to do that in today's world for just some nameless, faceless peoples appreciation .
this much trouble can only be taken when there is passion and intense motivation for writing otherwise why would you or any genuine writer write a ff for which they are definitely not paid for.

I've read all of Munchy's work except this story, but I can never believe anybody coul accuse you o zll people of plagiarising. Its unthinkable, don't worry and keep writing.

Rae, I am with you. There's no similarity between your story and BTLSS. I've read both. It's like saying all the stories where Arnav is a fashion tycoon have been plagiarised from one another!

This is a pretty unfair depiction of events and Munchy has no way of refuting your claims as she no longer has an IF account.

I've spoken to her and I've gotten her side. Her problem isn't with your story or your characters or with the setting or the theme. It's obvious that genre pieces, such as this, will inevitably end up having similar characters and similar scenarios so she doesn't really care about most of it.


Her issue, and the other writer's issue is with one scene.


One scene in Chapter Eight which is, having now read both, undeniably almost the same, obviously writing styles are different but the scene itself is exactly the same.

I'm not saying it's plagiarism as maybe you genuinely did forget it happened in BTLSS. It's one of my favourite stories and I didn't even remember the scene fully.


But to twist things like this and make it sound like she was attacking you for the whole story is horribly unfair and tacky. I don't really see what business of IFs any of this is, if you're sure you didn't plagiarise and nobody else has pointed out similarities to you, then why bother airing it in front of people who have nothing to do with it?


This really should have just stayed between you and Munchy. Now it makes you look like you just did this for attention. From you, Rae, I really did expect better than this biased, exaggerated account on a platform where the person you're attacking can't defend herself or her position. To bias people against her like this is just undignified and unnecessary.


I hope you get whatever it is you wanted to achieve by doing this.

I don't want to get into an argument, so I'll just suggest this.


Why don't you link the chapter of Before The Last Sun Set alongside the chapter of Through The Looking Glass and let the readers decide for themselves whether the similarities are too much or not? You're sure it's not plagiarised. Okay. Your readers are intelligent enough to come down on a side themselves- as ultimately, that's all that this post has succeeded in doing, creating an Us vs. Them scenario.


But once again, as BTLSS was closed, it's possible that you just forgot the scene. In which case, I don't really know what, you'd have to talk to Munchy.
