If I draw stuff from other peoples writing ... Its because I am compelled by their writting ... The Muse presses me into action ... and that is my fundamental joy ... I am ruled by Chaos and the spontaneous power of the imagination ...
There's nothing wrong with being inspired by someone else's work...like, if I'm particularly impressed by one of your drawings and I write a short story based on it, it's only good manners to state that I was inspired by your picture, but I'm not plagiarizing your art.
But if you came up with, say, a unique header that you put on the top of your LJ blog, and I took that header and submitted it to the current LJ Header contest and claimed it was my own, I'd be a plagiarizing bitch! ;-)
