I remember, I had this idea to write a novel, and I just recently read a novel that has the same concept that I thought of so whoop whoop.. People can share similar thoughts, but it can get annoying if it's WORD-TO-WORD even rephrasing a couple of words is still bad. <br /><br />On my blog, I did this feature once called FemmeBeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718861012681693010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-90858725486144057102015-02-16T02:00:49.093-05:002015-02-16T02:00:49.093-05:00This is such a great post.

Yes, it probably would be considerate for them to ask you first. But there are so many of the same stories and posts and features out there there are very few things that are truly unique.

For example: if I came up with an original feature and someone tried to replicate it without saying "Hey, I got this idea from [blog name]!" then I'd probably be a bit annoyed. But, if they took that original feature and changed it into something that was THEIRS, I wouldn't mind much at Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109527480775466764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-37340764271833853522015-02-15T16:29:53.905-05:002015-02-15T16:29:53.905-05:00I have to disagree with you on this.

I have seen other bloggers do very similar topics to me after I have done them and I don't think I have the right to be annoyed about it to be honest. Magazines, newspapers, websites etc. all posts variations on the same stories and that's what bloggers are doing. I think as long as you are doing it in your own words and style then it's fine.

BUT, I do believe firmly in that if you use an idea, a similar idea, or were influenced by another post, you should mention them, credit them, point out that they inspired this post and link it because that's whatAmanda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357839391966441808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-52631192132695532812015-02-14T11:46:15.198-05:002015-02-14T11:46:15.198-05:00There have been SO many posts on the blogosphere t...There have been SO many posts on the blogosphere that I get the feeling that whenever I post something, I'll be bound to stumble across a post similar to mine.<br />But I really get annoyed when someone copies content from a post WORD to WORD, or the exact same manner or writing style.

I actually didn't know that you did something similar, which is kind of strange lol<br /><br />What I've learned is that to be "original" it isn't about what you do, but how you do it.

My book looks, I had been playing around with the idea of doing that feature for months and when I finally did it, I made sure to look up anything that would be related to it, because I know how sensitive people are. Turns out, there were a bunch of people doing stuff like that.

It's the Internet so of course there are going to be tons of ideas everywhere, and with very general ideas, there are going to be different people that come up with the same idea. <br /><br />I think that depending on how broad the idea is, it's okay for bloggers to use someone's idea as inspiration for a blog Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-84356361213806021172015-02-13T06:30:05.396-05:002015-02-13T06:30:05.396-05:00I hate plagiarism!It's rude,mean and really wr...I hate plagiarism!It's rude,mean and really wrong.Do they even think about how much trouble the person has gone through to write up the post?<br />I've had this experience before,just not in blogging.I used to write fanfiction when I was younger-I was 13 then,I guess-and one of my HP fanfic was fairly popular in the site.And then while my story was nearing the end,my readers started to Mishma @ Chasing Faerytaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253047767404480728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052411094920281911.post-68301306786147471632015-02-13T04:51:01.279-05:002015-02-13T04:51:01.279-05:00This is a tough call and a lot of the time I think...This is a tough call and a lot of the time I think it's just coincidence.
