I guess I’m in the minority and don’t agree that this was in any way plagiarism nor that DD comes out looking like anything other than the Karen she was being mocked for being. [/quote]

Then you don’t know the meaning of “plagiarism” or “Karen”.[/quote]

I mean, do I like Sonya and would I be friends with her? Probably not. But making DD a character in her story, even quoting the real FB letter, is NOT plagiarism. Don’t be friends or share stuff with writers if you don’t want to find yourself in one of their stories. And DD is cringey and clearly donated her kidney for validation. [/quote]

I teach at a university and do research for a living and let me assure you that in any academic environment, what SL did by incorporating text written by another person verbatim and without attribution would absolutely be considered plagiarism. The fact that so many people - including published authors - don't appreciate this really worries me. I actually thought people are more attuned to this with the proliferation of software that catches plagiarism in academic settings.[/quote]
