Takahashi reference in Stars?
Arnold Kim
musical rehearsals- and noticed that the director's name was Akane, while
her Christian name was Sister Angela. And since there's Akane in Rumiko
Takahashi's Ranma 1/2, and Sister Angela in her One Pound Gospel manga,
could this all be some kind of Takahashi reference?

Could be...
There are sisters named "Akane" and "Kasumi" in _Rurouni Kenshin_, too (in
the anime, they're seen in the OVA). Knowing Watsuki, I'd be willing to
bet that IS an intentional reference.

Hm? Explain, please.
But that's interesting. Neither are terribly common names in anime. Only
two Akanes and one Kasumi that I know of.

Watsuki has these little things about many of the characters at the end of
the of his chapters in the RK manga, which I've read translations of. He
talks about how he comes up with their personalities, physical appearance,
etc. He freely admits to taking a lot of his character ideas from other
sources as varied as history, anime and manga, and sources here in the US.
For example:
Saitou Hajime and Okita Souji are based on real people of the same name
(and Soujiro was also based on Okita Souji. Confusing, ne?).
Hiko's cloak is taken from the American comic Spawn.
Fuji's character design is based on the Evas from NGE, and Kamatari's face
is modeled after Shinji's mom, Yui.
And so on.
Knowing this, I wouldn't at all surprised if "Akane" and "Kasumi" was an
reference to the Tendou sisters (but no "Nabiki". The other sister was
named Sakura).
>But that's interesting. Neither are terribly common names in anime. Only

Actually, "Misty" from Pokemon is Kasumi in the original version. So
there's two. ^_^
And who are the two Akanes?

Oh, okay. Now _that's_ one of the most common anime names I've ever seen.
Either that, or Rei.

I highly doubt that "Sister Angela" is a terribly common Japanese name. :P

In case you two forget, Sailor Lead Crow used the name "Akane". Makes
sense if you think of "Lead" as sounding like "Red", which I'm sure you
know it does in Japanese (somewhat).

In fact, the name Akane means "madder." Madder is a southwest Asian
perennial plant (Rubia tinctorum) having small yellow flowers, whorled
leaves, and a red root. The term also refers to a red dye obtained from
the roots of this plant. Also, madder is a color: a medium to
strong red or reddish orange.

Uhmm...i did read the details.. aside from the fact multiple

the original work, and that the credit has been given to the
authors of said work...so the 'plagiarism' is dubious at

yes.. i said that because i wanted this matter resolved quickly and with as
little pain as possible. i dislike fighting.. very much so.. we all have
more important things to do than to fill each other's email accounts with
remarks that are hurtful to the other.. but sleeping dogs weren't allowed to
lie and now it's snowballed into something that is more a matter of
principle..
a point was also brought up that i hadn't considered at the time.. that
being that not all browsers display color.. in that context.. no one would

Principals.
And a *looooot* of pissed off fans.
Here's the quote that ticks *me* off:
"No, but cutting and pasting and adding original work *does* mean that
it is mine. It's called research. It's called quoting, with cited
references. Your story did not make the slightest mention of the
Inner Senshi. Ours does. Therefore, the story as posted is not
yours."
And the thing is, you might not have read the *original* article.
They've changed it. The original was 90% of the "Trio" and 10% FFC.
*That's* the one that got everyone P.O.ed. 'Course *now* everyone
looks at the page and goes, "What's the big deal?" >_<

This is an interesting subject. I went to the site and read the posted
e-mails and then wandered around the site to see what I could see.
Having done some study on copyright law as well as assisting some
laywers on copyright cases, the subject matter definately piqued my
interest.
I have read the e-mails that were posted, the Guide posted at the
fanfic site, and the original article that is linked to at the site.
Question: Is the Fanfic Guide posted at fanfictioncentral.net
plagiarism? Well, if you had a lot of time and money and no life you
might ATTEMPT to prosecute them. Problem is, odds are you wouldn't
win. There are definately certain similarities that might be argued as
"stolen", but even the worst defense lawyer has a really good shot at
arguing it away. As of this date, there are no wholesale quotes to pin
anything on them that I could see. And believe me, I was tying my best
to find some. Not that I personally have anything against them. I've
never heard of them before. I was acting like the prosecution, looking
to build a case for my client. As far as I could see, there's only some
formatting similarities that give it away and definately a common
progression of ideas. They would simply argue that they were "inspired"
by the original article and used it for reseach purposes. Nothing wrong
with that. Nothing illegal, either.
What might be damming to them is the e-mails they posted.
Surprisingly, they seem to admit to a number of wrongdoings. (Though by
their own e-mail replies, they don't see it as wrong.) The problem here
is that they have gone back and corrected what they did wrong in a short
matter of time. That will look very good for them if a judge ever had
to adjudicate the case.
The be all and end all of it is that there is no serious violation of
copyright going on with fanfictioncentral.net with regards to the
guideline. You may consider their conduct unprofessional or rude or
whatever, and you and fellows may make a choice not to solicit their
services, but they don't appear (to me, at least) to be guilty of
copyright infringement with regards to the guidelines.
> The site fanfictioncentral.net has plagiarized one of their works,
> admitted to it
Interestingly, if they really, REALLY wanted to be nasty, YOU might be
looking at some trouble with regard to the above statement you made.
That could be considered libel, defamation of character, or a couple of
other fun things. <Grin> Just a word to the wise. In today's
litegeous society, you almost have to watch every word you say and (more
importantly) write.
And, of course, for my own protection: This should not be considered
legal advice. You should consult a lawyer for advice concerning
copyright law and any other legal matter.
Blah blah blah, etc etc etc. :)

Only one of the authors gave permission, and *after* the fact, and is
currently unhappy with how Roger and "Orchyd" are behaving. The alleged
fanfic is in fact non-fiction, and was incorporated wholesale into Roger's
work without proper citing or credit until *after* he was contacted by the
author.
It is nowhere near "satisfactory".

The other authors didn't exactly bother to participate, so
i'd presume they didn't care /that/ much about what happens
to their work.. Whatever their opinion was, though, i think
that the requests to 'take down the whole fanfic because
it's not yours, or else!' were _way_ out of the line --
wouldn't a demand to rephrase or remove the quoted parts be
more rightful?..[after all, it's not like the idea that
'Michiru doesn't normally swear.' can be considered
intellectual /property/ of any of the original authors...]

Hmm...from Tim Nolan's first email, it seems the original
work _was_ credited before any kind of contact was made.. in
any case, this is a moot point -- there's now a revised
version of the 'guide' on the guy's site, apparently with
all the quoted material removed, and with both credit to the
original author as well as the link to the original work,
given...

Plagiarism is presenting one's ideas as your own...and in
this very situation, anyone who's interested was free to
find and read the original "Guidelines for Writing Outer
Senshi Fics" to see what exactly was pulled from it...
Again, this is sort of a special case, since the original
work is really no fan_fiction_. It's a set of 'rules', and
most of those rules are obvious to anyone who's seen enough
of SM, be it the original or the dub. Thus, the demand to
cite exactly which rules were 'taken' from the original
guide makes about as much sense, as me writing "Guidelines
for Writing Utena Fics: #1 Touga is a slut.[EoF]" and
demanding everyone to cite, every time they express their
belief that Touga is indeed a slut.
One could argue that Roger is plagiarizing original authors'
writing style...but since Tim Nolan states explicitly in his
first email that 'they have no objection to him doing this',
it's a moot point as well...

Tennesee?.. I thought that's FL....
Incidentally, this is sort of scary; i wonder how many 'SM
webmasters' are aware of the fact, getting their own domain
means announcing their name and whereabouts to the whole
world?.. ^^;;

idly noting imagi-9.com is still free...hmm....<sg>
