PLAGIARISM
Guys, this is terrible.
For some unknown reason, I decided to google some of my stories. Just bored, I guess.
But what shocked me more was the results.
I googled Sugar, Spies and Everything Nice, knowing that I would get google hits like the AFF Site, my profile on AFF, a blog on tumblr that shared a link to my story...
But I never did expect to see a smilarly-titled story posted on wattpad.com .
Curiosity got the better of me, so I checked it out.
It had the same description and the same chapters--everything was posted. The rating was PG-13 So I didn't know if the user posted the rated chapters or omitted the rated parts. I didn't get past Chapter 9 while scanning the chapters because it is so unfortunate. She had posted all 51 chapters, too.
What's another unfortunate thing is that there were no credits, no nothing. It said there that "All Rights Reserved 2012", but she's not the original author, right? How could she have the rights reserved?
I share my stories with everyone and I want everyone to read them, that's why I post it here on AFF. Since AFF is the first ever site where I have posted and shared a story and met awesome readers, I have decided with myself that I will keep posting my daragon stories ONLY ON AFF.
I get a lot of requests for PDF copies of my stories and I gladly email them to those who requested (except WolfxBlossom's stories: Authentic Divine, Taste of Love and Kindergarten Flirting, because she didn't give me permission to), with a promise that these stories are NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER SITE.
I know I'm not a great writer, I have a big room for improvement and I have a long way to go, but posting one of the stories I worked hard on without permission is like stealing my hardwork away. I have worked hard to write Sugar, Spies and Everything Nice with the fear that readers might not like it (because of the different genre), but I continued because the comments of readers and friends kept pouring in. They kept me going, and so I worked hard to write those chapters.
Guys, I am requesting you to please don't upload the PDF copies of my stories that I have shared with you to any other fanfic sites or file sharing sites. If you guys want a copy of it, you can find it here on AFF and daragon hideout (I have posted Fire and Ice there) or I can send you a copy.
All you have to do is ask.
guys, the matter has been resolved.
the help team on wattpad removed the story for me.
thank you to those who helped me report this!
You know I love you guys :) :*
