REMINDER: FOR MY READERS AND CO-AUTHORS

 

Hi Guys

 

I just want to let you know that I became sad again today. I just learned from a friend that one of my readers are getting stories from other fansites and posts it here in asianfanfics as her own. She was already reported by my friend, however it still hurts me. More so because they are Minsul stories and that makes me more sad. Guys please, DO NOT do this. That is plagiarism and infringement. That was already done to me in the past and I can tell you I almost quit writing then because it felt really bad to feel cheated like that. So please DO NOT copy other people's stories and claim it your own, all right? Someone is bound to discover the truth eventually. So let us all write from our own hearts and minds arraso? (Unnie gettting passionate about the subject) 

 

I still don't understand what people would gain from getting other people's work and claim it as theirs. Even if people say "you are a great author", it pertains to the original author, right? I won't tolerate this kind of action because this is really wrong. It happened to me and I would not want other authors to experience it too. If I learn anyone doing this, I won't hesitate to unfriend him/her. I love my readers and I appreciate the support (really with all my heart). As much as I want to keep everyone as friends, any wrong doing such as this should be stopped. This should not be tolerated.

 

You can go to these fansite to check if they are already existing there for verification. You can see the dates to know which author got the story first. Let us give the writers their rights..

1. wattpad.com (I have a wattpad account username: Mahogany4. Any one publishing my story outside my username in wattpad did not get my permission.)

2. fanfiction.net (I got told there were stories from this site that was copied into asianfanfics. The original author was not credited and it was claimed at hers. Please be careful what you read to avoid supporting people who plagiarize other author's works.)

 

As added protection, I will be tagging all my stories "For Subscribers Only." This will require everyone who wishes to read the stories I write to create an account here in asianfanfics. Sorry for this small trouble guys,  I hope you understand. :(

 

Open your eyes my dears. If we depive these authors their rights...we are going to lose these great writers and stories... I am also a reader aside from being a writer. And I don't want these writers to just stop becasue they felt demotivated by all these plagiarism and infringements. :(

 

That said, Thank you Everyone for reading my stories. I also thank all the writers out there who create all these wonderful stories. I wish you all the love in the world! See you around! :D

Plagiarism is a crime. It's so sad that some lowlifes can't quite grasp the gravity of committing such an act. Sure they may hide behind their usernames, but hey! By taking credit for other people's works, they just end up insulting themselves.

Cheer up Author-nim! ^^ Your readers are behind you all the way. :-)

Sometimes.. some people are just hungry for attention. Perhaps they think they cannot write, and they plagiarize in order to get attention and love. It's a very wrong thing to do, yes, but people does mistakes all the time.(I'm not siding her btw) Hopefully she learns her lesson, or she'll have to learn the hard way.
