Beautifully written and so clearly conveyed. What you have said makes more than perfect sense. I think it should be realized that stories that we write are often inspired by books we read, TV and Movies we watch and even real life experiences. Today someone has posted outside of this forum that today's episode is reflective of the movie Aaina, which is true. Isn't this a form of plagiarism? The current track seems to be that of the film, but until today nobody pointed it out. I think its funny to see how we point fingers at one another, because we are within someones reach?
I know you have edited your post MT regarding the popularity of some members. Even I know there are some that are more "popular" than others on this forum; however, I choose not to let it bother me, as I dont see anybody as being better than one another. There is such a great mix of personalities in this forum, which is what keeps me coming back day after day. This is the first forum I have ever really been active in, before I was a silent member who would log on every now and then, but now I am constantly on the forum (esp the KS forum).
I think that this matter did not need to see the public eye. Why attack a single member? Does it make you look like a better person ("You" Is meant as in society, not you personally MT)? This whole issue could have stayed out of the limelight if it was brought to the attention of the KS Viewbies/Dev Team. I think we should all think like adults here. This issue should have been brought up when the fanfics were first posted, and then there would be no problem.
Overall, this forum has gone through enough trauma and drama, and I think before it gets any worse and people actually start to quit the KS Parivaar once again, we should this matter. I don't think anybody plagiarized anybody's fanfic at all. She made her own twist on a story that is quite common in serials/soaps. Lets all be adult about it, RESPECT one another, and move on. We are all here for a common reason!
