Okay, so yesterday I was looking for a Sehun fanfic to read and I found one. It caught my attention because it's the same title of the book I'm currently reading. Now, when I clicked on the story, the description comes out and it's the exact same description in the back of the book I have with me. I thought, hey maybe the author's inspiration is the very same book (although I was playing stupid because I hoped the author wasn't plagiarising such a wonderful book). I jump to the first chapter and it is exactly and I mean word-for-word like the book I'm reading. The user just changed the names from the original characters' names to Sehun and Suzy. What disgusted me was whent the author kept telling her readers how she can't update because her laptop is broken or that she was too busy to write. I'm like ????????? she literally copied everything, notepad has an option to find name and replace it all at once whAT DO YOU MEAN "WRITE"??????? I scanned through the comments to see if she mentioned about it being an actual book that she just copied and changed the names but I didn't see anything. Anyway, I felt responsible to report it so I did. AFF's moderator responded and took down the content immediately after providing them a report with the link of the actual book.

Now, checking the author's story page, I wanted to check if the content was really removed and to my surprise, 3 of her stories are actually copied from published books (books that I know exists because I attempted to read them before and are left hanging in my ibook app). Again, the names were changed and no credit was given to the rightful authors of the books. She even imposed that one of them was based on her real life experience. I don't know what the user's excuse for doing what she did, but I find it disgusting.

I started thinking about how the authors of the books would feel and imagine them being oblivious to others copying their work WORD-FOR-WORD without their permission and no credit. I mean it's one thing to have a published book as an inspiration and another to copy it all and just change the names. Why would you claim it yours if it isn't really yours to begin with? How can you accept your readers' compliments knowing full well you basically just changed the names of the characters to your desired artist?

My friend said she has seen a few works in AFF that are copied and pasted word-for-word and only had the names changed but the authors of these stories she found told their readers it was really copied and pasted from an actual book and gave the rightful authors proper credit.

Anyway, I'm now staring at the author's story page and wondering whether I should report them all or leave it be. TT

**edit**

Upon reporting 3/4 of the user's "work", AFF gave me a notice that she has already been banned due to violation of terms of service.
