in all seriousness - I'll give you the "other side of the coin" hehehe
plagiarism is FAR down in priority on the List O'Sins, for me personally. lol
and I wrote a book and had it plagiarized - so that sucks but life went on about 2 minutes later. hahahaha
however....LOL also for me- I was on a platform that cost me mucho bucks and mucho time and energy... and it was taken down, brick by brick, day by day, from a bunch of plagiarizing scammers who literally raped the platform weekly - making not only the token unstable - but unstable and decreasing. LOL
we fought a very hard battle for a year - and lost. I lost a lot. many people did.
so when I decided to create DreemPort, plagiarism moved up a bit on my priority list LOL
it's still well below murder and underage drinking - but my business is to create a plagiarism free space so that writers can thrive. We don't do it perfectly but we do take it pretty seriously when it happens. cuz if they thrive, and they sneak into the daily pool - (that we have screened) that means its a black mark against our integrity.
Because we supposedly screened and OK'd it.
Which means now people are eyeballing the rest of the pool and thinking... "ummm isn't that THEIR JOB?"
so I guess it's all a matter of context hehehe
plagiarism is bad. but you're not going to death row for it. unless i catch you on my site plagiarizing. and then i'll kill you 😝
p.s. prayed very specifically this morning that Pura would not only have her appetite back - but that something SO tantalizing for her taste buds would awaken that tummy of hers and tempt her. How's that for alliteration. And i HONESTLY prayed those words and smiled. ❤️
