I came across this fan-fic, This author claims to be "inspired" by a book, but the author has copied everything (word for word) from a copyrighted book!! The author has only changed the names, if the story is only "inspired" and not plagiarized, then it should be in the author's own words...
Here is the link to the fan-fic,

hey,
sorry about that then, but plagiarism is still against the rule of IF....and it's still not allowed, and I have read the book, so it doesn't matter when you would have mentioned the title of the story....
This content was originally posted by: yasu09If you read the first page I wrote a disclaimer saying that this is a mills and boon story and that the only thing im changing is the characters name!!!!!
Not once did i say i was 'inspired' by the story but that the story is only edited using the characters name (AR)......
the title of the story was only gonna be released once the FF was finished.....

I understand that you were trying to be honest by writing that disclaimer, and that is why I am not blaming you for plagiarism. But I'm sorry....the Fan Fiction section is supposed to be a place where people share their own creativity by posting original stories. Even though you have a disclaimer, I am sure that a good proportion of your readers probably haven't read the first page carefully enough, and think that the story is yours. Also, I am quite certain that reposting a story with different character names actually violates the copyright on the original story, unless you have permission from the author. So unfortunately, we cannot allow it.

Thank you for this
I have seen many ffs
where it was based on a book or movie
and most gave credit to it
but it feels very bad
when someone plagiarizes
also
I had this one idea in my head,
and I was planning to make it an ff
then I read another story
and it was almost similar
but not exactly
so I pmed that person
and told her about my plot
and coincidentally
what was going to happen in my ff
was somewhat going to happen in hers
but the base line was still different
although the events were similar
so the person gave me permission
and I wrote it
which turned out to be not that good
LOL
but we became great friends after that
so it's not plagiarism
if you give credit
or have permission
and I think you should do both
so it doesn't get you in trouble
*smiles*
