My Depression

Stealing stories

Side note* this is dedicated to klondike15 for being awesome!...sorry your dedication had to be on such a weird not-really-chapter chapter but I really wanted to dedicate something to you :P

I think we all know what this is going to be about: PEOPLE WHO STEAL STORIES.

Duh that's the title but I'm going to reiterate it anyway.

I'm sure if you've been on wattpad long enough you've come across a story that has been stolen and I mean stolen. Not a story that's put on multiple account pages because of multiple authors or they had permission. No, I'm talking about people who see a story and copy it word. for. word. and claim it as their own.

This is different from quoting, quoting is where you tell the original author and just use the same few sentences, that is not stealing. I'm sure some of you have had stories taken or seen a story copied and it didn't tell the original author.

If you do this, I hope you feel so proud of yourself, you're taking credit for something that isn't yours. I bet you just love that you're getting credit that didn't take any brain power to do.

I don't understand how people can feel good about that, how can you feel good about taking credit for something that isn't yours? I, as an author and reader, get ideas from other stories but I don't copy word for word.

If you have a copied story on your page and you didn't say that it wasn't yours I hope you either delete it or you get no compliments on it. Like, SERIOUSLY! How do you get joy for doing nothing?! All you are is a lazy twat who couldn't come up with your own story! So, just know, if you copy stories from people no one would like you if they knew you did that.

I'm watching you copiers, I hope you feel all high and mighty about yourself for doing nothing. I've only seen one copier in my time and I'm happy about that.

Do any of you have any experience with copiers? Tell me so we can hate humanity even more, yay...
