You all probably don't want to hear nothing from the person who's been caught plagirizing twice now, but just hear me out.

I do not openly disagree with what has been said, nor do I openly agree with it. I'll agree with Soc that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I firmly stand by it.

But here's the thing. Have you ever considered the question "what if everything I want to create already has been made?"?

I'm not trying to be philosophical about it, just stating a thought.

That's what's kinda sorta happening. (if you disagree, that's just you, okay?) Not all of us write fresh, original stuff for a living. To say the least, it's hard to be original, when everything that appears original... is already there in some other form/way.

Now, in response to some earlier comments, ja, plagiarism isn't quite the right word. What some people are doing, is blending. More or less, making things at least semi-compatible.

But here's another thing.

The groups don't need a defined relationship to work. The choice to define it, is purely RPer's choice. Take my Emma Dachshund being in the THS. Her inspiration is Black Canary. Probably a rather famous face in the DC universe. She knows everyone... but wait. I don't like having my Emma know everyone, just like Black Canary. So thus, for me, I consider any relationships established there null and void. Unless I work 'em out on my own terms, they are inexistent here.

It's just a matter of choice is what I'm saying. That's my rant for ya.
