I couldn't help but speak out after seeing a plagiarism winning the contest and abusing Admin good faith and having an advantage over the other competitors. ericbomfim , know that your name sounds extremely Brazilian, as does José Saramago, author of the book BLINDNESS (Nobel Prize Winner) that you copied. See the similarity below, he barely bothered to change the synopsis available on Wikipedia: Blindness by José Saramago: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness_(novel)Blindness is the story of an unexplained mass epidemic of blindness afflicting nearly everyone in an unnamed city, and the social breakdown that swiftly follows. The novel follows the misfortune of a handful of unnamed characters who are among the first to be stricken with blindness, including an ophthalmologist, several of his patients, and assorted others, who are thrown together by chance. The ophthalmologist's spouse, "the doctor's wife," is inexplicably immune to the blindness. After a lengthy and traumatic quarantine in an asylum, the group bands together in a family-like unit to survive by their wits and by the good fortune that the doctor's wife has escaped the blindness. The sudden onset and unexplained origin and nature of the blindness cause widespread panic, and the social order rapidly unravels as the government attempts to contain the apparent contagion and keep order via increasingly repressive and inept measures. Blindness is also a 2008 movie: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindness_(2008_film)#PlotEven if this denunciation does not lead to anything - I withdrew my films for consideration, since I didn't agree with the result - I think the fair thing to do is to expose what I discovered, since it's not OK to appropriate the ideas of the others to gain advantages.

Hi, I was not familiar with this movie, or novel, before posting my story. However, I am having trouble seeing the connection between the two stories here. Both deal with blindness. However, in my story the premise surrounding it is completely different. The story revolves around someone who can see again after 2 years of being blind, and needs to figure out who wrote the eerie message of to not tell anyone about it on her walls. In my story, everyone gets the blindness at once, and no one is immune, but in "Blindness", the entire story seems to revolve around an immune woman? In my mind, the vision for my own story is completely different, and I understand that you can't really tell that from the simple paragraph I provided you with, briefly describing the plot. My story zeroes in on one girl, versus a "family-like unit." My story is more dystopian versus post-apocalyptic. My story focuses on the aftermath of the blindness, not the current events of it. In no way is my story plagiarizing "Blindness", they just both use the similar topic of losing your sight, and I don't appreciate you throwing the idea around that I would without considering that perhaps more than one story in the world can talk about a specific topic. It is okay if you are unhappy that I have won the competition, but it is not fair for you to resort to drastic measures just to tear down my story. I am sorry that this is how you handle a loss.

I'm not seeing the similarity here? I think it's just that they are both about blindness? Thank you! For those who are having trouble seeing the similarities, here are a few: - City is affected by blindness - City is placed in isolation - Protagonist sees and tries to remove group from isolation Obviously, there are different points between the two stories, after all, if it were a faithful copy, it would be an adaptation. However, the whole premise of the story is the same, even if the development is somehow different. Denying seeing the obvious makes it so embarrassing, Eric. You are Brazilian and you know that this is one of the most important books in our contemporary literature.

You are Brazilian and you know that this is one of the most important books in our contemporary literature. My name means “Good End” in the Portuguese language, but my family is French for nearly 2 centuries back. I am glad that you are proud of your culture’s literary work, as I am proud of mine. I apologize if my story resonates with you in a way that makes you feel that it is a cheap copy. It is not. The two stories share the same idea of blindness, but explore two completely different sides to it. It is not my fault that you cannot recognize that. After all, you only read a paragraph of what my story was about, while you may have very well read the entire story you mentioned prior. I’m not sure why you decided to randomly start attacking me over a competition that was supposed to be fun, but it’s interesting to see how much you want to argue back. I’m not going to argue. But I can confirm that I did not plagiarize. You can stop harassing me now.
