Plagiarism is essentially taking the work of others and attempting to pass it off as one's own. In academia, it is generally defined as putting forth ideas cribbed
When it comes to works of fiction, the term ''plagiarism'' tends to be misused quite a bit; indeed, most of what is referred to as 'blatant plagiarism' is actually far less blatant than actual plagiarism. If two stories happen to have [[Trope|similar elements]], it does not mean that one plagiarised the other. All stories are influenced by what has come before and what the author has experienced; the most likely case is that one story inspired at least part of the other.
