When I was a Sophomore is HS I wrote and English composition that I thought was worthy of being published. Imagine my dismay when it was returned to me with a D minus and the words "Are You Sure This is Your Work?" I then "dumbed down" my essays to a "C" level. I'm still angry with that English teacher and I'm still angry with myself. All of your authors get A's from me.

But, no, really, the sense of colonizing other people's stories is one of the themes in the poetry. It's hard to let yourself off the hook in this sort of situation.
