plagiarism

 

Okay guys, I will go straight to the point. I just got informed about 'Lie For Two' being on Wattpad and I well, it's not me. Someone just took my story without asking me and uploaded it there without my permission, claiming that they're the author. I'm upset, really upset right now so I'm going to take the story down on AFF. I'm still not sure what to do with the planned bonus chapters though...

I can't believe even the author's note is copied word by word, that's just ridiculous...

It's sad you had to take it down especially after being featured. I wish people would be more creative and stop plagiarizing others. I understand if a story is good, that you would want to read it, what i don't understand is why others would take it and say they wrote it. Why not challenge themselves to write something good too? It's quite frustrating because this behaviour will only make good writers take down their stories, and become scared of posting other good stories in the future.
But this case is quite odd, since that person copied even the author notes.

That feature thing maybe really wasn't that good... (Well, it may not be because of the feature, but it's a strong guess...)
I don't really know what to say, to be honest. A lot of authors have already written about the topic so there's nothing new to say.
It's still saddening, though, that some people have no respect towards others. And they're so dumb, like what, why do they think that they can get away with plagiarizing without anyone noticing it? Just because you post it on another site... They always get busted sooner or later. I just don't understand.
This is not the first, and I'm sure that not the last time this happens. And no one can do much about it, some people'll stay delusional even if an author (not necessarily, though, it can be anyone) writes a ten pages long post about why plagiarism is bad, they just wouldn't get it. Or they don't care.
So, this is really sad, Lie for two was a really good story, despite all your protesting. Yeah, it wasn't the best, but it sill was very good. On the bright side (for me, at least), I practically memorized the whole thing by the amount of times I re-read it so I just have to preserve it in my memories, I guess. (As cheesy as it sounds)
By the way, I'm glad that @straberries was so quick to report the copy, thanks from me, too, my dear friend.. :)
