haha that's the funniest argument for why it's not fanfic. XD

i feel like fanfic isn't plagiarism, definitely not in the way most college ethics codes consider plagiarism. but otoh if you're in a creative writing class you'd think you'd understand you're supposed to be writing fully original works. that's just dumb. and yeah i can also get how the prof would get angrier if the student tried to lie and argue that it somehow wasn't fanfic haha.

also lmao about your other comment about how she thought no one would be familiar with naruto. NARUTO!!! i mean. if you're gonna make that assumption come on make it about something more obscure. lmao
