Another day, another gallimaufry

Via misscam, a link to this essay on the differences between fanfiction and plagiarism.

I want this. My life will not be complete without this in my kitchen. I totally need to credit that link and I didn't keep the original tab open. Sorry! Sing out and I'll put it in.

I'm surprised I didn't pay more attention to the spellchecker. But then, it's one of those words that I incorrigibly spell the way I pronounce. "Definitely" is another, you'll probably have noticed.

*nods* Mostly I don't comment because I don't want to be an arse, but that one leapt off the screen and screamed in my face...

I'll survive comments. :>

LOL OK !!

I'm a writer/editor IRL. Obviously, I'm not putting the same language and standards into whatever I whip off for the web, but I'm hardly going to have fits if someone points out I've done something stupid!

Well I once had a Blogging acquaintance chew me out and then refuse utterly to speak to me every again when I pointed out a typo in one of her posts, so unless I know someone pretty well, I mostly keep my mouth shut. Once bitten, twice shy...

Oh, FFS!

Don't worry about it. Considering I put my stuff up for beta here before it goes out, I'm expecting concrit. (Mind you, when I'm generally writing, I'm not applying major standards. But I'm not going to freak when someone says "Yo, that's not right!")

I'll bear it in mind then !
