Thank you to everyone who supported me through my plagiarism.

I want to give a huge shoutout to everyone who gave me support through the whole plagiarism thing. I am happily to announce that (Im assuming Wattpad and not the ) has taken down my story from Wattpad. I sincerely thank from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, for being by my side during this time.

I legit never felt my anger boil so bad because of someone. 

Thank you to everyone who left a comment

Thank you to everyone who PM'd me.

Thank you to the people who went on to the story to let the faker know what they did was wrong. 

 

I have never felt the community grow so close before ♥ I appreciate all the readers and authors who came to help. I will humbily give you my services if something like this is happening to you! 

 

To the faker and other people who plagiarize stories: Here is my message to you.

When a person spends some TIME creating a story for others to enjoy, do not take credit for their work. I received hate from people on Wattpad because "Its not worth it" and "Its just a story". It's not just a story to me. Writing is a release. When school gets tough and I want to breathe for a bit- I can safely come here and put out content for everyone to enjoy. 

Let me give you a scenario. If your favorite kpop group's song has been plagiarized by another musician. I bet you would be running to that person to have them apologize for taking your bias groups song. So why isn't my story on the same level as a song? I mean, it's 'just a song'. 

Not only are you giving distrust out to authors who worked for months on these stories, but your subbies are being lied to. I can 100% say that you will feel more PLEASED to feel the excitement of creating your own story and have people comment on it.

I spent months writing these stories, some I've stayed up until 4-5am. I write during class. I write before bed. I write during my free time. I AM CONSTANTLY TRYING TO PUT CONTENT OUT. If writing isnt your best then find another way to get your work out! 

For the people with the 'Well English isn't my first language". Don't write your story in English then. There are millions of Kpop fans all around the world, and Im positive there is a TON of people who speak the same language as you. Put out your creations in your language. You can still make your own good story even though its not in English.

 

Give credit to authors. ASK PERMISSION if you would like to share their story or translate it. PROVIDE LINKS. 

Because at the end of the day, you are a theif and you will be caught. Next time this happens, I will publicly shame you. Because at the end of the day, I have a right to be mad.

 

 

Anywho,

 

Thank you again for the lovely people who came to help. Thank you Wattpad for taking down my story. I am still currently trying to get the faker who took my story completely off of Wattpad because at the moment, the other story she has on there; is also plagiarized. I have contacted the author on here and I have been talking with her. I also found more plagiarism as she has copied other peoples One-Shot's. I will be doing my best to let the authors know about that as well.

If you see something suspicious; dont let it go. 

The best way to find plagiarism is if the person writes "Sorry for my broken English" yet has a perfectly well written English story. That is a red flag, because thats what they did on mine and the author story.
