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.

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.
