Some dumbass lady just came in to ship something and seemed to be striving to drive me INSANE. I should have known she was trouble when we somehow started talking about writing, she said she was a writer, I mentioned NaNoWriMo, and when I explained to her what it was, she couldn't open her mouth fast enough to say "plagiarism" as many times as possible. Sheesh.

*baffled* Plagiarism of WHAT? What's she talking about?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

She thought you had to post it online to prove you wrote it. Uh, NO. (Not that she listened when I tried to tell her that. *sigh*)

Oh, good lord. That's worse than the person that kept asking me whether you HAD to join the contest if you did NaNo.

Please tell me you are joking?????

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no.

Even if you did post it online, if it's not fanfic, how is it plagiarism? I thought that was called self web publishing. This woman does not use our earth logic.

I'm guessing that she thought as soon as you self-published, everybody on the planet would steal it and pretend it was theirs or something. *eye roll*

Not like that hasn't happened on the net, but god, she's a moron.
