my story got plagiarised.
i don't want to make a big deal out of this seeing as the problem has already been resolved, but i feel as if this is necessary to say because i'm still incredibly hurt right now.
last night i was informed that my oneshot feeling faint, was plagiarised.
knowing some of my friends you're probably going to freak out and ask who, where's the story, let me smack this , have you reported it yet; and the answers are: she deactivated, it was deleted, go ahead, and somewhat.
fortunately i had bum-chan online when i first found out because i had the absolute worst panic attack i've had in at least a couple of months like i was crying and shaking and everything i thought i was going to throw up or pass out or both and it was like 11 at night so i was kind of silently hyperventilating in my room and i don't even know why it's not my best story but it's the first time i've ever been plagiarised and it ing hurt
her username was 'snowygirl' and the story was exactly the same except the names were changed to exo. seeing as i was in hysterics bum-chan reported it and it got deleted just minutes after the complaint was filed. when i'd calmed down i wallposted her to politely confront her -- which you probably won't believe because i'm absolutely horrible when i'm mad -- and i told her what she did was wrong and i hope she'll learn from this mistake and not do it anymore.
trust, she was cowardly and decided to deactivate.
because of this issue i will no longer be accepting random friend requests. and i will be going through my entire list of friends and checking our history together. if i see i've been added for no reason and that we haven't talked, i will delete you.
it's very unlikely that i'll be deleting you if you're reading this blog post but i can't afford to go through that kind of anxiety again, i'm taking precautions now. i don't care if it means less readers for me; as long as i know they're trustworthy, i'm okay with it.
if any of you aren't writers on here, i want you to know that plagiarism hurts. it's no compliment. it makes me digusted.
if anybody ever spots plagiarism, please, don't leave it. follow it up. it saves an author from a lot of pain. plagiarism is digustng and horrible and i'm still so angry at hurt that that girl did that to me. now i'm just afraid the same thing could happen -- or potentially, is happening -- to 'not otherwise specified' right now.
if i end up deleting one of you guys and you want me back as a friend, please, do feel free to add me back. but if you want to be my friend for the sake of just having more friends, i'd rather not add you back. my friends are people i talk to, or at least, trust.
i'm still extremely upset right now but i want to publically thank tokyotiffo314 for being brave enough to speak up about the issue, and even persist when she thought i hadn't read her comments by private messaging me. i don't think i've thanked her enough; last night i was just too unstable to express my thanks to her. it horrifies me to think my story/ies could be out there right now, without credit, reposted and being given love and compliments when it's really all my hard work going to waste. thank you so much for speaking up, for following up the issue, for telling me. i couldn't say it enough.
i also want to thank bum because even though we left off on really bad terms and i didn't deserve your support at all you still helped me so much and i'm so thankful that i have you and i love you so much
i should go now
i hope nobody is offended by this and if you're worried i'm going to delete you it's probably very unlikely i'll just unfriend people that have added me but we're not really friends you know??????? i guess if you don't want to be unfriended just comment below but please remember this is a safety precaution. my stories are my life, seriously.
okay bye
<3
EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION!!!!!! HAPPY SUNNY DAY!!!!!! AYAYAYYAYAYA
