I think you might be throwing plagiarism and copyright infringement into the same pot here but they're really two different things. I think fanfics would be an infringement of copyright but they're not plagiarism. Plagiarism requires actually copying from the original creation. That means parts...

Sometimes I feel like being an author makes my statement of bank account look like a big scam. Just got a notification about a transferral of 0.03€ because somebody read a story from 7 years ago via their subscription instead of buying :blobrofl:

Yeah, Unsplash isn't bad. Pixabay is also coming to mind as far as resources go. Speaking of which ... it might be nice making a list with resources for authors that don't want to infringe on copyright when they make their covers?

What I don't understand: If you go to the trouble of doing all that, why not just search for pictures on sites for royalty free images? Pictures very similar to the ones you used could be found on those sites as well and those are pictures you can use even for commercial purposes (despite not...

I know, I've read the other responses on the thread. The problem is: Not knowing something doesn't absolve you of a crime. And this issue regularly came up in almost every writing community I was ever part of, so I am having trouble believing that people are really that ignorant to do this more...

I'm always confused when people frame this issue as "either we take an image from google or we need to pay big cash for a cover and we're too broke to do the latter". Like, you know there's sites where you can get royalty free pictures without infringing on anyone's copyright, yes? It might not...

That moment when you want to tell everyone about your new project and how cute everything is but there are still three chapters left of the old project so you haven't even been able to make the announcement and still need to keep it a secret :blob_teary:

Oh, also! Especially when it's about places, I think that watching a movie or series can be a good idea. Like, the ones where you get to see different rooms in a house or an overview of some cultivation sect in a xianxia series? I think that's a good place to start from and then you can look for...

If you have trouble visualizing it, search for pictures that come close to what you want to describe. In fact, it might be good to save them for future reference as well. For the actual writing of the description, details are good in general. So you'd want to mention very specific things about...

Finished the first 50k words of the year :blob_aww: Slightly slower than last year but then again, I can blame my exam for that without a guilty conscience :blob_melt:

Just wrote the blurb for my new novel and I'm so excited! :blob_aww: Ah, I wanna go and do the cover ~ :blob_melt:

I would like to bump this suggestion again because I once again ran into this problem today when I uploaded something new. Another alternative I could think of would be to just raise the number of projects shown per page so we at least won't have to go to the next page (since we're lazy)...

Finally finished my exam. I feel like I lost way too many brain cells though :blob_no: I just want to go and write a novel now, but there's still the usual daily chapters to do :blob_teary:

The actual problem of writing an entry for the anthology :blobrofl:

Ah, I'm looking forward to it! I think I already have an idea :blob_aww:
