I love that some of us do that.
Me checking the forum/Tumblr every five minutes the moment I wake up
I just reread IF's every few months because I like them so much (and because I'm bored)
Currently preparing old IFs with wholesome LIs and routes to read after reading infamous ch3, sev is definitely gonna hurt my mc's heart all over again ugh (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)
I do this to myself ik but i can't help it ( ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) also i havent read wayhaven newest demo bc of this wwwww
love to see author appreciation!
Noooooo
Its really unfortunateNoooooo
The only one similar to it I can think of is The Fernweh Saga tbh, so I've been wondering if the beef is with that one.
I hope not, because I really like both IFs and the Fernweh author has always seemed really nice, but who knows tbh. 
The Such Happy Campers author implied in her forum thread announcement that whichever author accused her of plagiarism was mostly referring to the nightmare sections, as far as I understood it?? And it's true that the nightmare portions in both games are kinda similar, especially with the MC waking up in different places from where they initially fall asleep. If I remember correctly, this specifically didn't happen in the first Fernweh book, but it does happen it the second book's demo and the SHC author also said she was on the accuser's patreon and got blocked on it, meaning she would have had access to the demo. There's also the whole thing with having some creepy voice/presence in the MC's nightmares that is sorta both trying to freak them out and "help" them and the creepy woods vibe and setting I guess. But like... they're both horror games lmao and nightmares and creepy voices and all that are such a common trope in the genre, it's not like the concept was invented by whatever IF author accused the Campers author of plagiarism.
Either way, this is a bizzare situation and I'm super bummed out because I love horror and there's so few good horror IFs (or to be more specific, ones that aren't abandoned lol).
And just to reiterate, I'm not necessarily accusing the Fernweh author or trying to spread rumours about her or something lmao, I'm just speculating because I really liked Campers and because I'm nosy.

If that's the case, that's just insane, using a famous trope in the genre is not plagiarism. Can you imagine 70% of horror authors getting a lawsuit because they used nightmares and weird voices in their work
It absolutely is!!Honestly, the whole story is so sad. Imagine being subscribed to the patreon of an author you genuinely admire, only for them to block you and imply you plagiarized some ideas off them
Which is why I can sort of at least understand why the SHC author had such an extreme reaction and outright dropped the IF, even if she said the person who implied plagiarism didn't ask her to. I can only imagine how I'd react and how gutted I'd be if I was in her shoes tbh. Let's just hope she comes back to it one day, but at least she has another WIP which is also great. 
But yea I'm assuming it must have been one of the 'bigger' authors in the IF community whose ego probably got a tad too big or something lol, yikes all around. 
You're probably hitting right on exactly what happenedIt absolutely is!!
It's just so weird. Imagine if someone got pissy at, idk, every medieval story with the forced marriage subplot.But yea I'm assuming it must have been one of the 'bigger' authors in the IF community whose ego probably got a tad too big or something lol, yikes all around.
