I've been sort of accused of plagiarism in a very gentle, polite, and low-key way. It was in reference to a Clex story called Midnight Sun, based on the Twilight Zone ep of the same name. It was an answer to the Twisting the Twilight Zone challenge that our dear [livejournal.com profile] danceswithgary hosted several years ago. I thought it was odd to get a comment like that, because surely they read that it was supposed to be based on a TZ ep...but nope. Nowhere in that post did I state that I was not ripping off Rod Serling, and that this story was *supposed* to be close to the ep. Oy! *4headslap*

Anyhoo, I fixed that and hopefully won't confuse or make any more folks feel uncomfortable. It is a bad feeling to be tootling along, reading a story, and suddenly realize that you've read it before by another writer. Such a disrespectful thing to do!

Or boring, I forget.

I was over at AO3, you know, that place down the corner? And I'm reading all these tags, alllllllll these tags for a rather short little story--a PWP--and in the middle of all these tags there's one that reads,"eating out", and I'm all wondering why in the world would a person warn for restaurants. Seriously, I stared at it with the behn-hunh? face for longer than I should have before it clicked....
