I agree. This is terrifying advice. You can read others to try to learn genre tricks, such as pacing, but never base your writing on someone else's. I'm strongly opposed to fanfiction also. Just another fancy word for ripping off someone else's work.

Exactly. There's a reason why fanfiction is verboten in professional writing circles.
One a good writer steals a bad one copies and nothing is original. Also you're forgetting
5.Editing
"Of course nobody should settle for imitations or badly stitched together stories. Many times it’s the editing that does the trick" or this "Change anything that feels off."
That does not "undo" the encouraged acts of plagiarism. Editing doesn't "fix" setting out to copy someone. And yes, things can be original.
Also you are mistaking your for you're.
Then star wars was made by a plagiarism as it steals from everything and name something that has never taken something from something else. Also editing is fixing something by its very definition you moron.
We are trying to help you, “you moron.” (Insult borrowed from your own hidden comment.) Endorsement of plagiarism in any form will get your fanny smacked in the real world as well as on this platform. Please consider your words carefully before you encourage people to do things that are not only illegal, but immoral and ethically unconscionable. No amount of editing in the world can erase the fact that you blatantly advised writers to “rip” the work of others. If I were you, I would simply take my lumps at this point and learn from the experience.
you really do sound like a bully
Hey, if somebody doesn't stand up for what's right, then everything starts going wrong.
And seriously...how many alt accounts do you have? That's starting to look suspicious to me all by itself. More and more like a chronic scammer who's just looking to get over on as many folks as he can. There are teams in this community who monitor such activity, by the way. In case you didn't know.
did you just flag my comment
this in not a alt account
i would like to know your reasons
