rachealfst:This is big. Nairaland seems better, what ever gets to the net is now being plagiarized. I have some of my works on Naijastories. Some weeks ago, I decided to find their titles on google and I saw my stories on other sites. Even on silverbird television blog. Seun Osewa has tried to curb plagiarism by making sure you can't copy with a laptop but till date the human brain will always find another way to get what it so desires. That said and done. We'll keep digging out ways this can be done. But for now, let's make this place lively.. Bring in more sponsors and have no need to post full stories here. This place should be a haven for literature lovers, a training ground....A place we can all build a family of Nigeria top writers. The old men and women have tried but we should build the future. They all tell us about their era, but who's going to tell us about this era too, and tell coming children if everyone stops writing. Over time, though not all the time, many of those who stops writing online find it hard to continue writing offline. 1 Like |

rachealfst: this is the reason why a lot of people i.e. writers will stay away from NL. There are a lot of writers on here that work hard to write only for someone to rip it off, not fair or even ethical. 1 Like |

Lleigh:I sent in a part of the story for a writing competition but was rejected for 'copying'. I was like "what the frigging flying fvck??!" So I went online to google my story and got the shock of my life. It was ALL OVER the internet. |

HumbledbYGrace: None of the writers begged anyone to read?... Really? That's the route you're gonna take?. If you tell me it's about plagiarism, I will understand that. Some of us readers are ready to pay to read good stories. I can't count the number of books I have bought on Okadabooks. If you feel your work being plagiarized is the reason you dont want to continue a story or writing on NL, fine, no problem. But at least have the courtesy to show readers where to get the full story even if it means paying for it. A writer did that in sexuality section and everyone was happy. Don't gimme that line of "writers didn't beg anybody to read". After all it's the same writers that will complain if readers don't comment on their stories. Personally, I feel all writers should use NL as a stepping stone. Gather your readership from here, then establish yourself by either self publishing or opening a monetized blog. Trust me, many of us readers are ready to pay for your books if you're good. 1 Like |

Congrats Mr. Divepen, I hope you do great as a mod for this section. My suggestion is time to encourage writers here with good literary contests. As for the plagiarism aspect, I have seen my work lifted though my name is on it. I'd advise that writers should beware of the type of work to be posted here. Put serious works away. |

yewande1234:We are all being affected by plagiarism and that's why my agenda is to help writers know how to sell.. I'll work with Ekatomail to have a discussion with Mr. Ofili of Okadabooks, they will create a sort of orientation for us. At Okadabooks, your work can hardly be plagiarized. So Nairaland won't be about the big novel, it will be a place for training. 2 Likes |

Divepen1:Gbam this is the best solution.. Aside selling the literary works on Okadabook where it's extremely difficult to plagiarize (even if the plagiarists want to they'll have to bear the brunt by typing afresh from beginning to end), I think that partnership will be very helpful and extremely important to curb this issue of plagiarism.. I'll also suggest for the main time if it's possible for a mod to lock out a post in which a writer makes that it can't be quoted I think that'll help too.. The present system MIGHT be it can't be copied directly but when quoted, there's every possibility of it being lifted and pasted on a fresh page.. If the quote button is locked up for each piece, I think twill go a long way in curbing the copying from quote too.. |
