Hello,
What is wrong with the writing community?
2 years ago I posted a logline on another writer internet forum. Now I found out that a script with a logline almost identical to mine is in circulation. It is a very very unique concept and I actually placed with it as finalist in a major competition.
I have done some research and as it seems as long as the story is different this is not a problem of plagiarism?!? Or is a logline protectable?
To be frank I can't exclude chance but I really would like to talk to this writer.
I couldn't find the title; it does not seem to have won any competition. My only hope is that it is sub-standard. If a writer has no ideas of his own that would be the likely outcome. In this case even the title seems to be from somebody else.
I am so furious.
