I know I don't update as much and I probably should. It's not for the lack of trying because I'm practically on here every single day whenever I could to try and update my stories. However, today as I try to finally finish the update I have for "The Attic" that's been pending for like a week in my drafts, I get this notice that I have been reported that it's a plagiarized story! 

😡😡😡

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN MY STORIES THAT I PUBLISH IS PLAGIARIZED. Is the premise original? Probably not. "You've Got Mail" or "Time Traveler's Wife" or "About Time"...these are all love stories involving time travel with their own twists on it. It doesn't mean that it plagiarized the other. 

This gets me so upset, and I usually don't complain about personal attacks. I believe in ignoring haters and moving on. Block and move on. That's my policy, but this is such an infuriating attack on me as an author who constantly tries to think of ways of how can I surprise my readers.  How can I write something unexpected without completely throwing the plot of the story away. To be reported for such a thing is a huge "F-U" to me and it hurts me. It hurts my character and the fact that the person that reported this probably didn't even read more than just the summary of the story. 

I don't mind silent readers. I don't care about trolls. I appreciate all my readers, specially those who take the time to let me know they enjoy my craft. I've been writing for 11 years. I've been "dbsj0001" since 2009 and I am well aware how much "plagiarism" hurts an authors character. 

I can't believe I even have to justify this story. It's barely starting to pick up and I haven't even the dropped the major bomb that's going on with Donghae's character, but if this story gets flagged, and pulled...I don't know if I would even want to continue it...or writing anything if I have to explain each and every time why my stories are not plagiarized from anything (that I know.) 

Obviously, the world is a big big place and I can't possibly see every movie in existence or every book that has been written, so if you think I have, then let me know. Shoot me a message and I will do my own research and explain the difference between my stories and whatever craft you think I plagiarize. To this person that reported me, tell me what movie you think I stole this from because I would love to know if there has been a movie that's been made to look at our current pandemic situation like it's a thing of the past or....*resists spoilers*...I can't even tell you the other major thing that's going on to explain how impossible it is for this story to be plagiarized without giving out spoilers! 🤬🤬🤬😖😖😖😖
