I first learned about plagiarism from my mom when I was eight years old. I authored a story for a school assignment that was The Pebble and the Penguin. I hadn’t discovered fanfiction yet. The funny thing is, I doubt I even changed the characters’ names or what happened.
Whenever the topic of plagiarism comes up, I always think Pebble and the Penguin as if in Pavlovian response.
