But for those who have already submitted, and for those reading this after you've done your work. There was a question asked in that Write Off results thread that deserves more attention. So I'm copying and pasting it here.  It's from our own emo_naut/aggisnal :

"Idollists!! I'd like your opinion on a professional writing thing!! I know many of you work in writing or writing-adjacent industries and even those of you who don't will have valuable perspectives here.

So, I am the editor of a beekeeping magazine in Australia. We run, with permissions, articles from American and UK beekeeping magazines. While laying out one of these articles I stumbled upon the realization that this article, by a prominent professor run regularly in a prominent magazine, appears to be entirely plagiarized. 🀯🀯 Its blowing my mind 🀯🀯🀯🀯. Anyone who might be willing to read my entry summarizing the situation and proposed email to the editor of that magazine I'd really greatly appreciate it! I want to make sure I'm absolutely right about this and handling it in the absolute best way so I really want some other opinions!

Most of you should have access on my original LiveJournal

It's mirrored on my Dreamwidth journal, but for obvious reasons it must be friends-only and it seems my 1000 access tokens are already distributed -- but if you're having trouble getting access let me know I'm sure I can easily find someone inactive to take a token from and give to you! Thanks!!!! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™"

You can obviously answer his questions in detail over on those journals, but for a more general question, I remember when even the accusation of plagiarism was enough to derail a career. I think a big cultural shift happened with sampling and remixing when the idea that you could take something and make it into your own.  Then of course you started seeing more and more general acceptance of taking larger passages... and of course AI is just one big plagiarist device on a massive scale.  :D  (which none of these are directly related to the question at hand, but since when did I let THAT stop me!!! :D)

A few words from [personal profile] clauderainsrm:


It was only a matter of time before we hit a week with multiple bye-outs again. It makes sense that it happened when we had an afternoon deadline. It still sucks, but it makes sense.

This means we are saying goodbye to

4 talented writers and people that I know we all have enjoyed having around this mini season. Thank you to all of you! Hope to see you in the Home Game!

As for the rest of you, things are getting more and more real every week as the numbers dwindle. The temperature dial is being turned just a little more this week!

This week the voters will be making a path toward the finale, and we are losing the 3 contestants with the fewest votes this week.

The poll will close Wednesday August 21st at 8pm ET.


Good luck to everyone!
