heyyy, thank you for pointing it out to me!! xx
i guess that you are referring to the spencer reid fanfic called “the game”. i went on to read it and personally i do not consider it copying. sure, there are some similar things, such as the names (Beaumont, Louise and Amelie — when i first chose the names i googled french names lol and these are quite popular ones so i would never accuse someone of stealing names — imagine choosing anna as an oc name and how frequently used is that) + Cassidy (that’s a funny one, though it might be from a case so idk).
the only other “similarity” i did find was the secret identity but that’s a whole thrope and definitely not being counted as an original idea of mine:):)
anywayss, i will continue reading it just in case (no shade to the author, it’s actually really good and i’m not accusing them of anything).
personally, i do consider it stealing when it comes to specific plot ideas or edits without giving credits
but once again, thank you so so much for thinking of me and please do tell if you’ll ever find something else lol
i like to see the best in people and as someone who has been writing since i was thirteen, i’ve always had huge respect for other people’s work as i’d like to believe that they have of mine!!
lots of love
