writing whore

[quiregrrl]

My other journal... the one where I put fiction, or fictionalised short stories, snippets etc, known as writing_whore is going public... I'm opening it up to anyone who might want to read it rather than just friends, because I want feedback that isn't just friends being nice (although i do love that feedback)... not sure how random strangers are likely to find it to read and give feedback, but.. yeah.. i don't know... I'm very very tired...

Your writing is good T though I am biased.....

My concern with you going public is copyright. You might want to speak to Greyeviltwin about the problems that can arrise with public stories on the internet. Authors, well bad ones steal stories

Even good writers plagiarise, but then it's called inspiration! Unless the writing_whore is planning to publish, or if potential plagiarists are making money off her, I'm not really sure how she'd being adversely affected by copyright issues...?

whole entire stories have been ripped off

that doesn't answer my question.

I'm choosing to believe in the inherent good of people, rather than the inherent evil... and the fact that I suspect no-one would WANT to steal my stories for their own personal gain...

hmmm... i do want to publish eventually... probably not the stuff on writing_whore though... although bits and pieces may find their way into larger bits... and you reminded me of a quote I used to have on my notebook at Uni, something about copying the work of one person was plagiarising, but copying the work of many people is called research :o)

I hope to go to a leather conference one day and just watch you surronded by fans demanding your autograph

I am a cynical old security guard
