Oh, God.

You know, ordinarily, I'm against being unprofessional toward another author... but this one... this one deserves it since her behavior has the potential to reflect so very badly on all of us.  And um... it's just that bad.

I'm normally the same way. Even if the writing is terribly bad, I have a hard time commenting about it in any way that might be considered rude, constructive criticism included. But when major parts of the story are actually stolen from another author, I think we have the right to say how bad it is.

I'm sick and can't sleep anyway, so give me some epic lulz to cope with the ear pain.

TL;DR: Start a thread and I'm in.

Exactly.  Down with Plagiarists! 

Gather the village!  Get your pitchforks!  Stick your courage to the sticking place!  We march!

*ahem*  I feel better now.

Personally, my random, hypothetical violence tends towards hitting people in their faces with a hypothetical shovel.

I try not to be too catty, but... seriously, you steal all your ideas and it *still* ends up like that?  <_<  TIME TO STOP WRITING!

That's nice.

Would this forum be okay for the thread? Can everybody post there? I would call the thread: "The epic fail of Michelle Franklin" with this picture at the beginners post.

Well... I was kinda running with the mob scene from Beauty and the Beast, but it died a painful death when I realized I was Gaston in my little fantasy. 

This is what happens when I'm too busy at work to write!

ColorMeSurprised:  I can see that.

Work keeping you too busy to expactorate?   or am I getting the stories mixed up?

Hehe. Love the picture.

Yes, I think it should be fine, I don't see the annoying 'you can't post' message. The fool I am I created a second account for DA2... and I'm too lazy to switch them all the time.

[ColorMeSuprised]

Okay, then I am going to open the thread and link it into this forum next when I'm finished.

It will take some time since I want to relink all the amazon links and such.

Am I the only one who imagined this happening with the combined forces of Lothering and Redcliffe, with Teagan leading them?

For some reason, my mind transformed this to "hitting people in their faces with their own novel" when I first read it.

@ColorMeSurprised: Yeah, that's the forum I was thinking of.

[Imported_beer]

I just created the thread. Sorry.

[ColorMeSuprised]

No problem. =)

I just had fun writing the introduction.

Just curious but if you posted her entire novel on the forum, do you think she would come after you for copy right infringement?

Now THAT would be hilarious!

Whoa...I did NOT wish Sten was romanceable!

He was...yeah...no...he was like a big surly brother to me. Someone who had to be placated with cookies, not salacious acts! And the entire internal bleeding thing to me is not something I consider an erotic advantage. If anything, it is a "run away fast in screaming terror" disadvantage. But if people like that, that is what fan fiction is for. It is to take characters to places...they may have never been, and while I may not like it, I can accept others may. Subjectivity is something I am comfortable with.

What I object to is then claiming that world and that character as only your own. To the extent of denying even knowing what influenced it.

I didnt find the old Sten attractive - or even remotely nice to talk to LOL

The new Qunari however are a different story   but if the cost is broken sacrum, ribs and internal hemorageing - Ill pass thanks  

LOL OMG

I'm head over heels with the Arishoks body, mind you. And I'm not into muscular bodies. At all.

But damn. Just look at that:



Best scene in DA2 if you ask me.

Moving the discussion to another thread so this one doesn't get locked for veering off-topic is a good idea.

I have nothing against MF or any author writing whatever the hell they want, and it'd be hypocritical to lambaste her for writing fanfiction of any sort (being critical of her writing style is another matter), and I even think it'd be cool if fanfic writers could get money for commissions like fanartists do, but if she's lying about her lack of Dragon Age knowledge then that deserves to have a little light shed upon it.

He's reading more entries?!

Could that mean he was unhappy with the Final Five and has decided to seek out new finalists?

Hopefully he liked the final five so much he wanted to read more. Or maybe the panel of judges handed him the top five, but included additional ones they couldn't let slide?

A fanfic writer can dream XD

Like "Five or fifty, he wouldn't even notice the difference!"?

Exactly!

[Maria13]

Fingers crossed!

[ColorMeSuprised]

Hopefully mine is one of them!

Though I doubt it. I wrote about a character he himself wrote and I guess he had her past in his mind and all in his head. So if my concept of her doesn't fit his I doubt I have any chance at all.

On a more sober and on-topic note, it's nice to hear Gaider is reading more than the 5 selected! Hope he gets a kick out of them. A good one. XD
