now i’m a firm believer that it’s not that big of a deal if someone sees one of your prompts and decides to do something with the same premise, albeit probably not a smart idea if you do it immediately after
but there’s something slightly iffy about actually directly copying most of the ooc for my prompt while you’re at it
someone straight up stole one of my prompts recently and just repurposed it. left the ooc notes intact and everything. complete with a misspelling I’ve since fixed.
I’d always felt a little iffy about reporting “similar idea” stuff as theft, though it did really annoy me when it was posted immediately after, but the straight up theft, that’s new
