Wanting to include educational information into fiction text is a respectable quality of a writer. I too enjoy much fiction, and it is always a splendid bonus to learn whilst reading. But to plagiarize someone's writing is probably one of the most shameful things any writer could do, and to do it so obviously is painful. Seriously, miss smutty fiction author, you need to step up your game, just stop copying people's work, if you ever want any respect. And to insert, word for word, for dialogue, and after such a scene. Oh my goodness, had you any idea how awkward that must sound to literally anyone reading? I'm glad Paul Tolme could have a humorous view, of course after the anger subsided and the pity set in.
Also, this reminds me of this one time where one of my fan-arts was stolen. It was back in the days when I roamed on dA. I was 13, and like many young Deviantart users, I was making “art” with the mouse on MS Paint. I was searching one of my pictures on Google, just out of boredom. I was soon lead to this shoe website, and there was my pixel-y mess of Princess Bubblegum. At first, I was pretty outraged that someone had stolen my art and even had the nerve to remove my signature, but after a couple of months I just thought of how lame it was of them to use my garbage to advertise their merchandise, if anything I'm positive that they would have lost buyers. So, I'm pretty sure the moral of this is that if you are ever going to take someone else's work, you will definitely make yourself look ridiculous one way or another.
