My story was plagiarized!

OMG everyone! I got a notice on my wall about my story being plagiarized on Wattpad. So I went there, because I do have an account there, and sure enough, there was my story, uploaded by someone else, taking the credit that it was their work. I'm both angered and flattered. Flattered that someone liked it so much that they wanted to steal it, but angered because they did steal it! 

Don't get me wrong! I have no problems if you want to post one of my stories on another site or even in another language, I've had it happen before. But each time that's happened, the authors have always given me credit and provided me with the link to the story so I could see it for myself. This author did neither! So I've reported the story on grounds of copyright. It's my original work, despite being a work of fanfiction and fanfiction to me is not free to use. I'm sorry! But authors spend many hours of the day and pouring their heart and souls into these stories that they write and they certainly don't want to have the credits be taken from them!

As it stands, the person who took my story has also done so with two other stories. So I'm posting the link to their profile here. Please check and see if this is your story so you can report it, or if you know who it is...then please tell the author so they can report it. This has to stop!

From now on, I will be making my text unselectable, which means you won't be able to highlight anything from them and I think I'm going to be hiding all my stories for the time being.

What!? It's terrible that someone has done that to your fic! I am glad someone informed you it was happening! I agree that if the author asks permission and credits you for your work it is alright, but it is infuriating to learn someone has just gone and done it by themselves without checking with you first! >_< I hope this does not happen to you again :/

Wow. Um, that's rude. I'm sorry your story got stolen.

And do what you need to do for the time being. As long as all of your stories are readable in the future.

I SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY! I'VE REPORTED THE ACCOUNT BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE WATTPAD. I'm very sorry to hear that your story was plagiarized. I strongly suggest you to take a break for now because I know how frustrating it is for stupid people to take others work. I'm hoping that this will be sorted out quickly and just don't forget that you have readers here that will support no matter what.

Well just know you have ppl standing up for you and the other author. I've left several msgs on her page. I didn't have an acct, made one just to say something. The thing I don't like is you can't report the author for stealing someone else's story. Only the author can do that. And I'm gonna keep leaving msgs.

I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I already reported the account and you made the right decision by notifying everyone about it. No one has the right to take someone's hard work and make it their own.

I hope that things get resolved for you quickly and that this doesn't happen again. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Have a good day though, and don't forget to smile at least once today, even through this infuriating situation.
