Anonymousabout 15 years agoA story came out a few weeks ago that was almost identical to this one. I can't remember the author's name, but it seems too similar to be a coincidence. I loved the first story, but I can't give this one high rating because this seems like plagarism.
jack_strawabout 15 years agoIf you're going to steal someone else's story, at least have the grace to acknowledge the source. Strictly speaking, it's not plagiarized, but it might as well be.
Anonymousabout 15 years agoThis is very similar to Her Sister's Wedding, as has been noted. I'd give the author the benefit of the doubt, though. There are a lot of stories on this site and many are similar in nature but I doubt they're all issues of plagiarism. It is possible to write something and later find another story much like it, which you've never seen before. I've done it. --wlt
Anonymousabout 15 years agobut I agree with the other comments. This is way too similar to "Her Sister's Wedding". It may not be plagiarism or anything but the similarities are too much. Names may have been changed and a few more situations (such as the abusive parents, death of a baby brother, foster home, etc) were added for a supposedly more dramatic effect, but the underlying story is the same - Beautiful, model, bitchy sister is having a grand wedding whilst the ugly duckling sister meets a hotel representative who happens to have a royal title and owns the hotel where the wedding will take place. Seriously, 3158NastyTeacher, if you enjoyed "Her Sister's Wedding" and it inspired you, this is no way to honor it.
faq52about 15 years agoI have read both stories and there are similarities but for gods sake there are only so many plots to choose from.
there was a mainstream movie staring Julia Roberts with the same basic plot.
the plot is older than God. if you look hard enough you will probably find ten more stories here that are also the same.
Anonymousabout 15 years agoYeah there may be stories out there with similar plots but this is basically identical to that other story.
Anonymousabout 15 years agoI thought it was a great story. Don't let people discourage you. --Jim
punkin1077about 15 years agoa copy of Her Sister's Wedding? It is just so similar. I love Her Sister's Wedding...it is one of my favorites on this site and I noticed the similarities right away. There was a couple of things that were changed but overall I wish I had not read this story. It was like reading a draft version of Her Sister's Wedding, sorry.
Anonymousalmost 15 years agothe plot is to much alike of her sister wedding. And not only that is a bad version of it. To short and to much of the poor abused girl for a story so short.
Anonymousover 12 years agothe ending was way way to fast. Another chapter would have been good to explore the sister dynamics you developed, and then forgot. How she would react to her "scarred" sisters new life, and love. It is a pity when writers of high caliber either hurry the ending, or let the audience decide. Nothing personal, it frustrates me when this happens, and so so frequently. Consider reevaluating, and finish it properly.
Anonymousalmost 12 years agoThis is a copy of another story on LitE called Her Sister's Wedding by deepemerald. I liked that better than this one. You guys should read it.
