Hmm...

Well, [livejournal.com profile] sub_divided, it looks like we've hit Anime News Network with the Samurai Zombie thing.

If you're copying your own work, changing a few things, and then submitting it to whomever, it's not plagiarism. Adding this stipulation -- that you need to make some changes for it to not be considered plagiarism anymore -- makes sense. But this only works in the case of your own work. (at least this is now the case where I am)

I can't think of a non-educational reason for slightly altering your own work though...

(of course, this isn't the case this time. They're obviously plagiarizing)
