Comparative Advantage

Some of my friends on Fictionpress (e.g. angels and effects and SamanthaNicole) have recently taken down their work because of the wave of plagiarism that has been going around. First of all, I want to say that I completely support their decisions. Second of all, and I say this with emphasis, plagiarism is NOT okay. Both at my high school and here at Cornell, plagiarism is taken as an incredibly serious offense. Not to mention that it's illegal. If you're doing it, you will get caught - it's a very obvious crime, especially when the story in question is widely read.

That being said, if anyone ever sees a plagiarized version of one of my stories, please let me know immediately. And to any plagiarizers reading this, if you steal my work, I will hunt you down and take legal action. To everyone else, much love!

Sorry for the ominous message. I posted the same one on my Fictionpress profile page, but thought I'd emphasize the importance by posting it here as well.

Also, I just changed this part of my website into blog-format. Just FYI.
