I really think this should be unpublished. This could have been made in 20 minutes, easily. It looked like there was minimal effort made, and judging from Ugi's comment, it was a rip-off of a videogame. I don't see how it already hasn't been, though I don't know the date in which is was published. Just food for thought.

its been published for a couple of weeks, and it probably should be unpublished. additionally this is not a web site based problem so it shouldnt be here. it might belong in the writing workshop, dont know off the top of my head.

Nah, it's terrible but I think it narrowly meets site standards. I gave it a 2.

fair enough, what worries me is that it is completely plagarized.

the entire story is torn from a video game, called the force unleashed, the plot, the characters, everything. he just condenced it. he didnt claim it to be his own though.

I thought it was sort of dumb to even have a sequel to the game the way they did it in the first place.

Now if they had done the sequel completely in the alternate timeline with Darkside Starkiller, where he killed Vader and converted Luke Skywalker it would've got my attention.

I agree. I hate it when a character dies and is then brought back for a sequel. It totally kills his exit in the previous one, which was epic.

Indeed, they just threw you out there and said "your a clone, deal with it". And then, just when you are getting used to this spaz of a clone, he dies and they say "hah! You were alive the whole time, you just don't get to know why or how or why you are evil!". Now all they did was put basically the same fighting process, filled the game with it, and didn't even bother with making a storyline other than "your a clone, not the real thing, but everyone else thinks your the real thing".

Some of the endings and minor details are not actually from the storyline, and are you sure that it took him a whole twenty minutes, DS?

Community consensus...

should I unpublish it?

If its as plagiarized as Ugilick says it is, than I think it should be, yes. Especially if it is also borderline on quality.

Well, i think it was moved to fanfic wasn't it? I got the points for suggesting it so I kind of figured it was. If it is still under fiction, or whatever it was, I would say definately, unpublish it. Not sure about if its under fan fiction, I wouldn't object to it though.

there are minor changes to the plot lines, otherwise same story. fanfiction is using another authors world and characters and making your own story, rushy used the same plot lines.
