Firstly what I wanted to say openly coming and harassing a writer, on a forum, hats off guys
You wonder why she banned herself, I mean to constantly be accused
For your information, she is a person and she does get hurt too
Coming to the reason, haven't you guys read something that has resembled something else. It's like me saying i hate the vampire diaries because I love twilight 🤣
If you don't like reading the ff, tough luck, go else where
As far as I know her readers will decide if she continues the ff or not, if you don't like her then go away.
False analogy. Yes, both stories are about vampires...Same as Christopher Pike's Last Vampire Series. They share the same genre. But are the stories exactly the same?...Romance: Mills & Boon, Harlequin...rich girl, poor boy; male jerk vs girl geek--are the presentations of the stories exactly the same?
Yes, for sure, she's human. she's hurt. So are the original author and her readers. Just because she's human doesn't exempt her from the consequences of her actions. Your writer didn't do an adaptation. It was a copy. The only thing she changed were the names and gave it an Indian setting. Example: retyping the Twilight book in verbatim, except, instead Bella's name is Janice and her object of affection is Ralph and they met in Saint Andrew's cafeteria in umm (suggest a country).
Best of luck to her and her readers. She will need your support more than ever. She wants to be a writer, then encourage her to do so, but keeping writer's ethics in tact. If you were a writer or anyone who has presented an original idea, you would understand why people jump up and down when credit is not given to where it's due. If you have done so (although I would strongly encourage you to do so as it's so much fun if you haven't), then protect it and fight for it. That's your right as an original author and believe me, you'll be surprised with how much support will come your way...You have just witnessed an example on this thread. In the meantime, recognize the difference between harassment and replying to a post.
If her work is indeed original, she will be able to present evidence. At this stage, there is no evidence.
