Copycat
A Critique of Internet “Writers” That Lift Ideas From Others
Dear Copycat,
Thank you for the compliment. I really needed that. But could you try something on your own? It’s Wilde to see my work imitated. I’m not the greatest. But I really hate this when I see it. Please be more creative.
Sincerely yours,
The first that created it

Challenging Yourself to Overcome Writer's Block
A critique challenge? Just 50 words? Not sure about this. Seems interesting but hard. Fifty one words! Gotta cut something. That was fun. Another day. Too many positive ones. Should probably balance it with something else. Let me take it to the extreme, and see how many I can write?

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

The Harvest
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.

Well said!
A smart way to critique the dummies that lift stories. I’ll laugh if this gets lifted.
As frustrating as it is (and it is SO frustrating), you can't prevent people from copying your work. There will always be folks like that, who just care about themselves and have zero respect for the rest of the world. Let me reassure you, though, karma is a b...
I seriously hate people who do this! So sorry this happened to you!
sux when your ideas are stolen
Uh no, what happened?😟
Excellent slap. Love it.
Brilliant! Mind if I borrow it? (Not really. Brilliant? Yes. Intending to borrow? No. But you knew I wouldn't be able to resist asking.)
I’m sorry if someone stole your stuff 😣
Someone lifted your Oscar Wilde critique?
