[[Plagiarism]] is essentially taking the work of others and attempting to pass it off as one's own. There is a lot more to it than that. If you care about that, look it up on [[wikipedia:Plagiarism|Wikipedia]], WestLaw, or [[Plagiarism|this page]]. Around here, we're more concerned with plagiarism showing up as the topic of a story. The more complicated plots may involve [[Time Travel]], with somebody discovering that [[Shakespeare]] has been earning acclaim for years [[Stable Time Loop|for the play he accidentally left in the past]]. A more common plot involves a [[Ridiculous Procrastinator]] trying to pass off a straight-A older sibling's report or assignment as their own, eventually getting busted because the teacher recognizes it.
