Hello Everyone,
It has came to the notice of the DTs that many of the FF/SS/OS being posted on the forum is violating the Fan Fiction rules and do take note that India Forums views these offences seriously and ONLY encourages original work to be posted. Please be aware that plagiarism not only puts you at risk legally but also puts the entire website at risk.
Plagiarism/Inspiration

India-Forums takes plagiarism extremely seriously and ONLY encourages original work to be posted. Please be aware that plagiarism not only puts you at risk legally but also puts the entire website at risk.

In simple words, here is the difference between inspiration and plagiarism.

Inspiration - Taking certain ideas from someone else's work (the general concept) and writing your own story based off of it.

Plagiarism - Copying the entire plot of another person's work.

Please click the link to read about the difference between plot and concept [6th post].

Please click the link to read the consequences you will have to face if you are caught plagiarizing.

Posting a story by adding 'based on', or giving credits and only changing the name of the characters are still viewed as plagiarism as its not your own work but copying other people's work and re-presenting it.

Adult Content

We had also noticed stories containing adult content in their stories and do take note that posting adult content stories/graphics are strictly not allowed.

Please click the link to read the consequences of including any violating adult/mature content.

Reporting
If members comes across any stories which are copied, kindly report the said topic together with the link of the original work for action to be taken.

The forum adheres to the Fan Fiction rules at all times and anyone found breaking the said rules would face the consequences.
