19eighty5 - The Worlds State Of The Art Speed Metal Blog

Posting some old and new stuff too, sorry for spamming I was drawing way too much the last 3 months

I am very normal about Hetstaine and Klars

DAVE MUSTAINE of MEGADETH (1983 - present) | CREEM, April 1988.

I’m back with chapter 4 of this Dave/James fic! First update in what, 5 months..? My apologies…

Choosing to blame the people who kept harassing me over dumb claims of plagiarism. I know it’s not, so whatever…

Hope you guys enjoy though. Feeling a new burst of motivation with this! And if you have any other requests for stuff you’d like to see me write send an ask (? can’t remember what they’re called😭)

i love your writing :( please don't feel uninspired i hate seeing talented authors feeling unmotivated cos of dumbass people' hate comments oml YOU KNOW UR STORY IS NOT PLAGIARISM! and i had already read that story they were talking ab when i started reading yours and it didn't even remind me of it + i think i've seen a handful of fics where dave is a sex worker and a drug addict? so like??

you're very very talented i LOVEEE all the three works you've published so far<33 i've read them a couple times lol you're def top 5 metallica/megadeth writers on ao3

Oh my god thank you so so much!!! I’m really really happy you’ve enjoyed my fics. The whole plagiarism thing (as silly as I know it is) bugged me out for a while but I’m feeling more motivation to write again now. Hopefully there will be more stuff out soon I hope you will also enjoy!!

Apologies for taking so long to reply to the by the way, I haven’t been very active on here 😭

What’s come over me…

writer’s block kicking my ass right now🥲

I’m not trying to be rude but your hetstaine fanfic is extremely similar to another creators fanfic that has the same pairing and same plot and everything. I’m just warning you this could be considered plagiarism. I’m contacting to original author to let them know because I believe what you are doing is not right. You couldn’t even change up the plot a little bit?

Oh my god, i’m so sick of this- if you scroll back on my page, you’ll find the author of the fic you’re talking about stating they don’t believe its plagiarism and are okay with me continuing to write. I would get the accusation if EVERYTHING was the same between the two stories but it’s just not- prostitution is a very common theme in fics and so is a sort of ‘saviour’ situation arising from it. The author of NYPW said themselves that their story was inspired by the film ‘pretty woman’, so would you consider that plagiarism too?

My story is set in a different time, no band, different story beats, different writing style etc. Plus, the future story is different, and I’ve got a lot of it planned out. Writing Dave as a drug user also doesn’t make my fic plagiarised because that’s how he was IRL, so of course it’d be a common thing to write about.

Also, you really don’t need to insult my writing!

Thank you to the person who responded on AO3 in my defence, I really appreciate it.

OOPS forgot to post on here but new chapter up!
