there's a problem

So, it may not matter to anyone but I found out a couple days ago that there was a person on fanfiction.net plagiarizing my fics. They had claimed all my fics! Like, isn’t that crazy?

I made a fanfiction.net account and followed them so I could confront them, but they totally acted oblivious to the fact I caught them red-handed. This person claimed that these were their fics and their ideas, so I gave them the link to view the fics on my page on this site and told them to look at the dates my fics were published. I told them that they rewrote my fics by retyping them but much of the work I put into these stories was obvious enough to see. He or she never wrote back, then a day ago, they wrote back and said that I was a b*tch and a liar and that if I was really the owner of these fics, then I was a crappy writer with no interesting plots. I reported them and I haven't heard anything back. I think they went off the grid at the moment, but they still have my fics.

I was so mad about the whole situation that I deleted all my fics out of spite. I can’t wait to see how they’ll finish the stories without me writing their ending for them.

But I shouldn’t have done that. I’m very sorry, guys. You are my subscribers and I know what I did was unfair to you because I know that you guys wait patiently for me to update and sometimes it never happens. I’m very sorry. Maybe one day I’ll republish my fics again and finish them. I have all my fics on my flash drive but I don’t have the courage or the heart to put them back on this website right now.

I hate it when people plagiarize other people’s fics, and ones they have worked so hard on. Everyone on this website is wonderful and kind, and I hate when people take advantage of that. Sometimes, I want to leave the fandom because of rotten people like this.

Again, I apologize to my friends and subscribers because I wasn’t thinking of you at the time I let anger get the best of me.

Oh my god I just now know why you deleted all your fics. I didnt think they could finish it tho ha ha. And I'm glad that you somehow made them stuck. I feel sad of course. I read like plenty of your fics (and I love it<3), but I can understand your decision. I dont want those jerks to claim what I called arts. Hell no.

Wow that's so sad and so unfair, those people were really rude for calling you such mean things. I also read on fanfiction.net and have an account there, I didn't think this kind of problem would happen 0.0
Hope you feel better! (o^^o)

I hate hearing this, why people do this if they are going to get found out? they don't even try to hide the fact they stole.
I hope you feel better soon and this gets resolve soon, not just for the readers but for you. You worked too hard for this. I hope you decide to comeback
if it helps, we can report the person too. Good luck ^^

I hate people who steal other people's stuff without permission. I'm sad that you deleted your fan fictions, but I feel even more bad that people have been copying them and claiming that it's theirs.

I've made an account on fanfiction.net before AFF but I never thought people on that site would do this to you. Hopefully you have the courage to probably republish some of your stories and update them and that this problem could be solved.

I'll be patient in waiting for your stories until then. I wish you luck in the future and whoever it is that's plagiarizing will be reported and won't do it again.

P.S. What is the account's name for the one that copied your work? I'll try confronting them about it or report them if it'll help somehow.

Now that you've deleted your fics, you cannot prove they are yours. :(
I have to say that the person's response to you was pretty dang stupid and basically was them admitting their crime against you.
That really that someone claimed your hard work. I can't imagine how mad I would be. If there is anything good to be taken from this, your stories were good enough to steal! That means you're a great writer, right?

I'm so sorry that happened to you, like what the heck! People really have no sense of honor and then for them to turn around and call you a lying b*tch and a horrible writer with no interesting ideas was totally uncalled for. And if you were such a crappy writer, why'd they copy your stories in first place!? They were just jealous of your awesomeness and amazing skills and thought they could take the light off you by stealing your ideas and hard work. They have no honor, the least they could've done was apologize for being a thieving story-muncher and never do it again. Dishonor and shame on them.
And it's okay, your anger was well understood and placed. I hope you don't go through that again.

I'm really sorry that happened to you! As I myself write stories I know how you feel to see someone taking your stories. I can understand that you deleted your fics. However I am very glad you still have them and thus maybe someday upload them again. Now I have to say, I used to copy the stories I liked on this site and put them on my laptop, but only for personal use, so I could read them even when I didn't have internet (this was before I saw the saved offline option on this site). But I never put them online. That's cruel and disrespectful!

Anyway if you ever upload them on here again, I believe you can 'disable text selection'. It means readers can't copy the text and thus not save it or paste it on another site.

Again I really am sorry this happened to you and I hope this person will get a lot of bad karma for doing this!
