RE: My hero was the guilty one

in The Ink Well2 years ago

Ah, young man must have felt much better after letting go of his secret of 15 years! Those kinds of secrets can remain buried for many years.

I was very curious about the poem, The Legend of the Horcon, and I searched for it. And a very interesting thing happened. A Hive post was the top search result, and the author included the entire poem in the post!

The platform has certainly tightened up on plagiarism and copy/paste activities, and he would not have done that today, I'm sure. He is no longer on the platform.

I enjoyed your story, @gracielaacevedo. It wasn't until I read the tags that I realized it was fiction!

You also found the poem to be super intense? To summarize it as succinctly as I did in the story I also looked for the full poem and did not find the original. I will look for hive's to see if it is well trnscribed even if it is plagiarism. It is a late IXX century poem. Those who copy don't have the slightest criteria.
Oh, @jayna! I went back to copy and paste the tags and didn't use the right one. It was haste and impulsiveness for posting (I do it so infrequently! This is a True Story. My brother exists and he is my hero, he did all the things I tell in the story. Thanks for your reading, @jayna and for making me see that I got the label wrong.

Oh now that makes sense, @gracielaacevedo. I was very surprised when I saw the fiction tag!
