My Stories Were Stolen From Me - Comments

@ fall0ut
Us writers have to stick together :)

The stories appear to have been deleted, so I'm a little delayed with this. I just wanted to assure you that Wattpad are pretty good when it comes to dealing with plagiarism. I actually found Wattpad because three of my stories had been reposted there without my permission, by two separate authors.

One of the authors took the work down at my request; the other was dealt with by Wattpad after failing to respond to me. So you shouldn't worry too much. These things are always dealt with.

On the other hand, I'm so sorry this happened to you. As "flattering" as people might say it is, it still really hurts when somebody completely disregards the fact that you put hours of your spare time and a whole lot of heart and soul into writing something, and try to pass it off as their own. Thank God for diligent readers!

I hope this doesn't happen to you again. <3

@ Yami Hina
Yeah I'm not sure, but I'm definitely keeping an eye out from now on, not only for my stories being stolen but other's too.

@ LeavingCalifornia
Thank you so much

@ The Alpha's Angel
Thank you, it's really appreciated! You're great.

@ poison and blood
Man you still da best. Makes me feel warm and tingly and shit that you'd passively aggressively threaten someone for me :') thank you baby cakes!

@ Indigo Umbrella
Thank you. Yeah it was super disheartening and really put a damper on my day. Why do people have to do that stuff? I'll never understand. But I'm happy this community is so kind and helped get my stories back!

@ balani
Yeah I'd like to. It's not their fault at all of course; but maybe altering the code so you can't highlight and copy a published story would be really helpful.

I think you should message one of the admins about this

I'm so sorry this happened to you! I know how awful it makes you feel when people steal your work. I'm glad that the stories were removed, but I'm sorry that you had to go through that.

LOL jk they were deleted I see the thing

...I shall do this thing for you, m'liege.

No seriously, I've actually gotten several people to take stories down by just messaging them because I guess I'm menacingly passive aggressive...? So if this reporting doesn't work, feel free to sic me on that clown.

But tbh I'm hella stressed this happened, tho I am actually surprised it took so long for someone to do it because they're so great and bad writers get jealous af.

I personally still cry that they're over COUgH COUGHGD MORE BEEJ STORIES PLEASE, B-DAWG

All reported for ya :)

I'm sorry that this has happened to you :(

I reported that account as a fake account and hope it gets deleted.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
That is super shitty and remember that karma is a bitch. C:

I'm getting the feeling that that person also took more than just your stories because he/she/it also seems to have another account. Or it seems like it because there's a comment by another wattpad user with idiot in thier username. and he's pretending to talk with the other account.

Good! I'm glad! :)

@ PoeticMess.
Thank you so much. The stories were removed from the website. Success!

I've been in your boat so I understand exactly how you feel. But don't worry, Mibbians got your back. This is a community, and you shouldn't have to deal with this. Hopefully wattpad will get on this and take it down soon. As well as ban that user.

@ PoeticMess.
Thank you so much for trying, I really do appreciate it. The user can be reported, but I didn't see an option that really applied to the situation :/ I selected "hate & harassment" and then just explained in the box provided that there wasn't really harassment, just stealing etc. So hopefully that does something or at least gets them to look at it quicker. But again, thank you for reporting and for your concern. You're lovely.

Hi! I'm so sorry this happened to you! I tried to report it on Wattpad, but only the owner or "authorized representative" can ask for it to be taken down/reported! I didn't want to say that I'm authorized, because I figured you'd want them to talk to you rather than one of us!

I hope that person gets what they deserve!
