Endless Mike posted:Wow I can't believe Dr. Stange is a ~~Satanist~~! He typically sticks to good Christian elder gods like Hoggoth and Cyttorak when channeling spells! I can't decide if it's weird or absolutely fitting that Crimson Bands of Cyttorak is a binding spell, and Juggernaut gets his unstoppable powers also from Cyttorak

He claims JMS, Bendis, and various others ripped off Sins Past, House of M, and Miles Morales from his lovely fanfic he emailed somebody at Marvel about Peter getting stuck in an alternate reality where there are no heroes, marrying Gwen, and having a kid. Somehow Erik Larsen is involved too, and is a babykilling pedophile who loves the terrorist Obama. He's either trolling, completely off his gourd, or both. E: Also, he should not be confused with Joshua Dysart, who as far as I'm aware is cool and not crazy.

Oh, it's like that woman who claimed both the Terminator films and the Matrix films were ripped off something she wrote in the 80's (which is ridiculous, they were ripped off from stuff Harlan Ellison wrote in the 70's). Stephen Frye has a story about being with JK Rowling at a signing appearance for like the 5th book or something (he did all the audiobooks) and people would try and hand her their stories and there was someone there who's entire job was to physically intercept them before Rowling could touch them just to avoid this kind of thing.

Which is kind of funny because Rowling totally ripped off Books of Magic

Madkal posted:Which is kind of funny because Rowling totally ripped off Books of Magic There's like a bazillion stories about a young kid finding out they have magic powers, and they don't really share any plot beats. Neil Gaiman says she wasn't ripping him off and I think it's unlikely a single mother in the mid 90's was spending much time in comic book stores.

Pratchett was heavily involved in Discworld groups on Usenet in the early 90s but had to quit when people started accusing him of stealing their ideas.

That poo poo happened so much on usenet that DC still has a policy to this day that writers under their employ can't look at any fan works lest they be accused of stealing ideas. Extremely bad writers with gigantic egos think everyone's out to steal their very lovely ideas.

Chances are the Rowling probably had never even heard of Books of Magic.

Skwirl posted:https://twitter.com/dysart_james/status/1057442059064233984 I'm bloated from Halloween candy, so just pretend I posted a panel from a Lee/Ditko Dr. Strange issue where he invokes Satanish. Not really Satan, Satanish. Madkal posted:I know. I was just making a snide jokey remark. Chances are the Rowling probably had never even heard of Books of Magic. I wouldn't be shocked if she has by now given how many times it's come up and Gaiman is a legit big name author even if he's not the biggest name author like she is. But Harry Potter is from a long line of boarding school fiction in British children's literature. Besides Rowling definitely stole it from that one guy's self-published book where he used the word "muggle". Seriously, though, anything successful brings the crazies out who are sure that it was stolen from their completely unknown stuff. And it never helps that nerds tends to credit concepts to the first place that they encountered them no matter how long of a history the idea actually has.
