Ah. I think it CAN be sketch if someone is trying to profit off it. And I honestly feel like "search and replace" editing a fic into an original work is kinda tacky and usually implies OOCness.

When you edit an original work into a fanfic, it takes WAY more than "search and replace" to make it original. Lots of editing and in some cases reworking some things completely. Maybe less so if it's an AU. But still it takes some work.

Other than that, if people are doing it for fun, people coming in being "HDU you're ripping them off" and stuff is kinda silly. Also people who thing fanfiction automatically makes one a poorer writer? That's kinda stupid.

I'm definitely against profiting off fanfiction. But I'm amazed at how many people think it's plagiarism when the intellectual property is attributed to the original creators and not claimed as the fanfic writer's own.

I'm not really sure what I think about search and replacing a fanfic into an original fic. I tend to spend a lot of time disagreeing with people on that without ever really figuring out what I actually agree with.

" But I'm amazed at how many people think it's plagiarism when the intellectual property is attributed to the original creators and not claimed as the fanfic writer's own."

In a situation like this, it wouldn't be plagiarism, but it could still be copyright violation. A lot of people confuse the two. Most fanfiction is a violation of copyright, and simply tacking on a disclaimer saying it's not yours and you're not making money off it doesn't make it NOT a copyright violation. It just makes it a copyright violation that's unlikely to be prosecuted.

Yep. I'm just being pedantic about the definition of plagiarism and I'm constantly surprised by how few people are with me on that.
