Hey there @everlarkficexchange, I don’t know your policy on accepting prompts, but this here is the exact synopsis of Across the Stars, a fic @shesasurvivor wrote in 2015. Like not a passing resemblance or a broad topic. This is word-for-word the plot of her fic.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @triplebigday. I think I read Across the Stars when it first came out, but it was several years ago and, to be honest, I’m not a big SW fan so I kind of forgot about it. 

You’re absolutely right, though. The prompt is practically a copy-paste of the plot. So, here’s the thing, it’s true that many of our prompts bear some resemblance to one another and to other fics. That’s just normal. We’re requesting stories about a particular universe and most people want to read the same tropes. 

However, this prompt crosses a line. Across the Stars is a crossover Fic that features an uncommon pairing of fandoms, and the prompt is WAY too detailed. 

@shesasurvivor​, I’m sorry for not realizing it sooner. I’ll remove the prompt from the general list and talk to the writer who chose it. 

For anyone out there who hasn’t read Across the Stars, but who might be intrigued by the idea, you can find it HERE.

Sorry to @everlarkficexchange for not immediately reblogging this when I read it this morning! The issue has been resolved with the utmost kindness and a lovely link to @shesasurvivor’s story Across The Stars (Which I neglected to include myself, so big kudos to @everlarkficexchange!) I’m reblogging to emphasize that the fic exchange takes plagiarism seriously and is 1000% on the up and up (not that I ever thought they weren’t!) I’m going to be deleting my original post so that it doesn’t get spread around further!

“Great Scott, Luke! You must go back in time and prevent your father, Anakin, from becoming a Sith Lord.”

@triplebigday​ and I on our way to Skywalker Ranch to have our own writer’s retreat.

BEEP BEEP, BITCHES!

“…we have a 10-word bio in the program because there are so many people in the show. the 10 words i wrote are, ‘this is for all those whose shoulders i stand on.’ when i sing ‘go the distance’ i think about all the black men who have been enslaved, incarcerated, assassinated - i think about them. there is a hero inside all of them. it’s the most empowering moment i’ve ever had on stage.” - jelani alladin on playing hercules.

Too funny! 🤣🤣🤣

Bitch, I choreographed an entire OVA opening to our fic set to the opening track from The Greatest Showman.

Reblog if you want DuckTales renewed for a fourth season

I don’t know if it has been or not, but let’s make sure Disney knows we want it!

Peeta Mellark, drama queen of the century. first hunger games interview? “Because she came here with me” declares his love live on tv. he puts on the sad puppy face, but I’m not fooled, homeboy lives for the drama. second interview? “If not for the baby” the capital goes into a literal RIOT. so many clown wigs are snatched. not only does Peeta know exactly what he did, he LIVES for it

Peeta, after dropping those lines live on television:

“Where Peeta’s child could be safe.”

I don’t…like that? I can understand Katniss’ own qualms or intital hesitance towards motherhood but this line seems weird and off to me? Peeta didn’t force her to have kids, so you would think she would refer to the baby as “our child” or even “a child” rather than “Peeta’s child.” Especially since we know she wants kids just not immediately.

It makes me vaguely uncomfortable.

If she was saying this post Mockingjay it would make me uncomfortable too for the reasons you’ve listed, but in context, she is in the midst of the arena in the Quarter Quell dreaming of a world where she sacrifices herself so Peeta can go on to live a happy life. With, presumably, a child. But it would only be his, because in her mind, she’s dead in that world. 

I don’t find it uncomfortable in that sense. I’ll talk more about this line when we get to this part in the reread because I love it so completely for the exact linguistic thing you point out: it is Peeta’s child, but it’s also hers too … she just doesn’t know it yet. I honestly forget she’s not pregnant for real at this point in the book because of the tenderness with which she phrases this whole bit. I forget she isn’t dreaming of a world where she escapes and can have their baby. I always have to go “oh right, that was fake.” 

Yeah, she’s phrasing it this way because she doesn’t think she’s going to be alive much longer, and therefore Peeta would have children with someone else eventually.

I have always read it with the implication that she does want it to be hers, though.
