Plagiarism
From AboveWell this is awkward.
To be honest I've never thought of anyone being able to do such a thing before this happened. Especially not to me.
I myself do not think as a writer- that my works are good enough to make someone else want to claim it under their name. It's bad enough just stealing the idea of the plot, but a mere ctrl+c ctlr+v? They didn't even bother using another cover poster for the story.
So basically long story short this person blatantly copied my story from AFF and then pasted it on their own domain, under their username ofc, in Wattpad. This person even entered this oneshot as an entry for a writing competition.
I didn't even know who they were because they weren't subscribed to this fanfic. Which lead to me re-thinking my choices of turning on the Subscribers-only privacy option.
Generally, I'm not a fan of forcing anyone to subscribe to any stories so that they could read it, but if it meant that I would get a better grasp at who my readers are, maybe it's for the greater good. I don't wish for any of this to happen again.
This will apply to my other stories as well.
I'm not going to babble on forever so I'll end this here.
