Scary

Um... I had a close call with plagiarism today. The plagiarizer took down the piece. Apparently they thought that if they just took the basic skeleton of my work and "made it their own" (even written in the same progression!) it was not plagiarism. A learning experience for all involved it would seem. I am glad that I did not have to report them!

Anyway, I am still a little freaked out. I don't think I will be posting any of my creative works online anymore.

How does one put their gallery in storage?

Oh, good thing they took it down.

It's the risk factor.

I always hate posting my writing online for exactly this reason.

Yeah, you can't really watermark your words. I'm trying to find my writing voice that trademarks it as mine, but it's harder to find that without evolving constantly.
