'The Popular Students - EXO?' Has Been Plagiarised
Hi guys! First time writing a blog post, and probably my last. This is just an important update to tell all of my readers about what's going on, and why I haven't updated a chapter in about three to four days.
Recently, I have discovered that my fanfic, 'The Popular Students - EXO?' has been plagiarised. Yes, plagiarised. By this, I don't mean word-for-word or copy-and-paste, but the similarities between the stories are uncanny and the way the scenes are described are VERY similar to mine. Now, I know the girl in person that has copied my work, so I am 100% sure that this is not a coincidence. Not only has she taken ALOT of work from me, she has then taken my copyright statement word-for-word (but has now changed it, because people noticed), and then insisted that she has not taken my work.
I shall demonstrate some of the very akin similarities:
My story, Chapter 5:
St-stop bullying m-me,” you quivered, wiping the tears forming underneath your eyes. “I’ll d-do anything, j-just please…"
“Anything?” Kai asked, smirking. You nodded.
“Be my girlfriend.”
'I'm never going to fall for a kingka', Chapter 2:
"Saying sorry won't cut it, Shin Yeong. You're going to have to pay."
"What do I have to d-do?"
"Be my girlfriend."
My story, Chapter 16:
Mi-Sook kicked her shoe into your rib-cage. Hard. You doubled-over in pain, letting out a moan. The metallic taste of blood started to come into your mouth.
I updated that chapter 2 days before she made this:
'I'm never going to fall for a kingka', Chapter 17:
She kicked Shin Yeong in her ribs, making her groan in pain. Blood was coming out of Shin Yeong's mouth.
Although I would continue to state more similarities, I'd prefer not to waste time looking through a cringe-worthy story. I have reported her to the moderators (and a few other users have done so as well) so hopefully she will be warned by the staff, or even better, her story will be deleted. Other users have complained that she has copied them too, especially those who know her in person. I won't go into detail, but some of my friends suspect she is doing it to get back at me.
Plagiariser, if you're reading this: I feel used. Are you happy? You probably are, huh-- this is probably what you were aiming for, take my ideas and then insist you weren't, and now all your naive, clueless subscribers are at your aid. All those friends in 'the asian group' you thought would never turn your back on you? Well, they have. They were complaining about you and they don't like you anymore. All you are now is an annoying pest to them. Is this really all worth it? Haha. You really make me sick.
So, thats it guys, why I haven't been updating in ages. I'll try and write one now, but I can't promise. ;_; Hopefully the issue will get fixed soon!
