BronxWench Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 I'm going to hope, very emphatically, that you are not asking someone to copy and paste an existing story and simply change characters and a few minor details. We consider that plagiarism here, and we frown on that sort of thing. WillowDarkling 1 Quote
Guest will30 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 Unsure how plagiarism got involved in asking for a similar story, not the same, Couldn't be the same,, as Castle and Bracken are two different animals, so to speak. if I'd wanted plagiarism, I'd have done that and kept story for my personal use, not posting.

Merely changing the players is not actually sufficient to make a story unique. In order for the story to be merely similar, it would need to have substantive differences in setting as well as in the actual sequence of events in the story. It's one thing to be inspired by a story and write something influenced by it, but my caution to anyone taking this challenge is that merely copying that Castle story and substituting Bracken will not be permitted here. If anyone taking this challenge needs or wants clarification, I'm happy to assist. However, the site's Terms of Service is pretty clear. WillowDarkling 1 Quote
