Stealing Ideas
I started an animated series called Wolfstar's Quest about 3 months ago, and someone started copying it a few days ago, on the trailer she changed the song and the characters but the drawing are in the same position and have the same timing.
Its making me angry, when she posted auditions she copied the drawings i had in the auditions, and she copied my characters names!
Example
My character: Lionmane
Her character: Firemane
My audition line: Help! dogs are attacking my clan!
Her audition line: Help! Gray and some kittypets are attacking Lifeclan camp!
my line for episode 1: C'mon Wolfpaw, lets go climb a tree
her line for episode 1: C'mon Dustpaw, lets go climb a tree
I've tried to show her i don't really appreciate what she's doing and coping me but she's not getting the hint.
Should i flag? idk what to do, i want her to think of her own characters and lines. Not take mine 
She didn't give me credit for the lines at all, she just said "Credit to jbutts10 for the drawings cause i looked at them while i made this"

Re: Stealing Ideas
That's a tough one...so the drawings and music have been changed but the basic story line and some of the dialog is the same. I think that might be enough to qualify it as a "remix" rather than a "copy". I do hope that you are being given credit for inspiring the project though.
Flag it if you feel that it is too close to your original project. But please remember that Scratch is an educational site and we have found that the free sharing of projects and ideas helps with the learning process.

Re: Stealing Ideas
oh she didn't give me any credit on the lines, she did for audititions and the trailer but not the lines for episode 1. Its making me angry, in my opinion, if they can't think of anything and start remixing other ppls animated series they shouldn't make an animated series at all
