I'm not sure I understand. You wouldn't be taking someone's work word for word and passing it off as your own, right? It's the concept you'd be using in your fic... just like everyone else who writes fanfiction using characters and settings they didn't create.

It's just a fusion AU? not plagiarism

[(Anonymous)]

Welcome to the wonderful world of crossover fusion fic XD

[(Anonymous)]

I'd really like to know what the fandom is, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, I think you're fine if you type out that it was inspired by X thing because of the reason you just gave us and then try to give your own spin at it!

[(Anonymous)]

Why would you consider that plagiarism, op?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh honey, you must be young. This has been a genre of crossover fic for decades! Do it! Do it shamelessly and enjoy writing and sharing it! It's not plagiarism, you're not making any money. If the argument was to be made it was plagiarism, why even write fic to begin with? Lol

Is this secret about Forever (the 1 season show on ABC) and Harrow, the Australian show about a medical examiner Ioan Gruffudd did after that?

Okay, since this is part of the way I make my living. Be aware this is a layman's perspective but kind of necessary for me to know as an indie author. (And since I've seen a lot of drama around it from cockygate to Omegaverse to the blow up the RWA... why so much of this revolves around romance, I dunno. I've just had to learn. Thank you Courtney Milan I guess.)

Plagiarism is defined as lifting 50 more or words from another novel/screenplay and using it without attribution. Meaning if you lift dialog and just change the character's names and it's 50 or more words, it's still plagiarism. (Yes, CopyPasteCris, you don't get a pass. And this is why Cassie Claire got in trouble oh so long ago.) Using song lyrics is plagiarism b/c they have different rules. IF your story is beat by beat the same as another story (see, the Golden Fortress and A New Hope) it could be construed as plagiarism. (Yes, if Golden Fortress had taken A New Hope to court, Golden Fortress would have won.) Unless it is Scene de fairre (Sp??) which is more or less common tropes/story factors used in a specific genre such as romance or god help us, Omegaverse.

You cannot copyright ideas. You can't copyright tropes. You can't copyright/trademark book titles or single words. (Unless you are so big people associate that thing with your product, see Apple for Computers.)

Go forth, write your post apocalyptic AU of canon. As long as it doesn't have the same exact story beats as new project or direct dialog, you are golden. It falls under Fair Use. If you are further confused, go check out the Organization of Transformative Works, the minds behind AO3 and get their take on it.

(And CopyPasteCris err... copy and pasted scenes from close to 100 authors, many famous, into their books strung together by a poor ghostwriter who had no idea what was going on. So yeah. That was fun to watch.)

Forever?

[(Anonymous)]

If that’s plagiarism then so is all fanfic. You really haven’t read any fic that’s labeled as Movie X AU? Like, LOTR characters fighting Pacific Rim kaiju?

OP - additional comments

[(Anonymous)]

I want to add that since submitting this, I've realized format probably has a lot to do with it. Back when I played mafia with a core group of people, playing in any other way besides the specific way we played it felt like playing four-square at a different elementary school.

I love the premise though and I've been reading fic and watching all kinds of videos, so add it to my long list of "things I got into but not in the right way" apparently.

Honestly, unless someone has a strong and consistent kink for animal characters, and/or a kink for dressing up as an animal, and/or a kink for fucking another person dressed up as and pretending to be an animal, I just don’t really find the furry label relevant.

Like half of my female friends had crushes on Robin Hood the fox as kids, and to my knowledge, not a single one of them is in the furry scene now, or even in fandom (more’s the pity).

When a narrative treats a character like a person, and gives them anthropomorphized traits, and a human-like mode of behavior, I honestly think it’s just basic SOP for people to react to that character as though they were human, including potentially being attracted to them.
