Writing your own story around the same ideas is not plagiarism at worst, it's being unoriginal.
Charles Stross
The one thing that does happen, every time, though, is that I never get to write a book until I've already been thinking about it for a period of months to years.
Charles Stross
Like the famous mad philosopher said, when you stare into the void, the void stares also but if you cast into the void, you get a type conversion error. (Which just goes to show Nietzsche wasn't a C++ programmer.)
Charles Stross
All men are islands, surrounded by the bottomless oceans of unthinking night.

Charles Stross
Had enough of my poetry yet? That's why they pay me to fight demons instead.
Charles Stross
No two books come out the same way. Some I write by the seat of my pants others are planned in minute detail.
Charles Stross
I don't want to permanently damage myself! On the other hand, a couple of days off the keyboard tends to make things somewhat better.
Charles Stross
Back in the pre-internet age there were pirate publishers, especially in the third world, who would print physical copies of books, sell them, and never inform the author/their agent/their publisher just trousering the money. I think we can agree that this was piracy?
Charles Stross
I'm told that a couple of my Russian translations are just plain terrible, though, and there may be others.
Charles Stross
