I am developing a new literary theory, concept or genre, whatever you may call it. This I decided to name Plagiophilia or love of plagiarism. This is like the informal manifesto of this:

PLAGIOPHILIA PART 1

Plagiophilia is defined as love for plagiarism. This is a genre, theory or concept which seeks to promote, enhance and make valid the use and development of plagiarism in literature.

How does it work?

There are many ways to plagiarize and many reasons. Some reasons are:

Lack of talent
Lack of ideas
Lack of time
Nothing to do
Lack of inspiration
Lack of knowledge
Homework/Office work
Desire for instant fame
Others

Ways to plagiarize:

Blatant copying
No proper citation
Adding/Taking off some parts
Mixing several ideas together
Using synonyms to edit the piece
Others

But I propose that Plagiophilia can be a valid and experimental, if not a truly unique concept/genre/theory by doing these things:

Properly giving tribute to the real and original writer
Just borrowing some ideas, not all
Making it completely bizarre
Parody
Imitation
Outward confession of being a plagiarist
Trying to be original by making it unusual
Sucking off other people's brains
Offering sex in exchange for the author's rights and ownership for his/her work
Flirting works so well with me
Others

Samples of real or somehow other forms of plagiarism in real life:

Parody
True plagiarism
