Regarding Baek in a Box
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that so many people have asked to to translate Baek in a Box. Since posting it, I've been overwhelmed by all of the love, support and positivity that has come from it.
This story was written as a gift for a friend who needed some cheering up at the time. A gift. Because of this, I asked that Baek in a Box does not get re-posted or translated and I'm incredibly thankful most of you respected that.
When it was copied and re-uploaded to an EXO fic translations page, I asked that it was taken down. It was. When it was uploaded to Wattpad with the re-poster's name edited over the top of mine on the cover image, I had to report it before it was taken down. After several other re-posts and translations, I disallowed text selection and when I did, I didn't set that as a challenge to re-type everything, word for word.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that when somebody asks you not to repost or translate their work, there is a reason for that and whatever it is needs to be respected. If you repost it without permission but still give credit to the original author, that is still not okay. Having to repeat myself time and time again in the comments section of other websites or jump through hoops in an attempt to have them taken down is getting tiring. I really don't want to pull my stories down, but if this keeps happening, I feel I'm left with no choice. Please don't make me have to.
*edit*
Well, I tried.
Nope. Taken everything down. Sorry.
