It's Complicated 2 ✔️

Please Read!

Hello,

Most of the time when I post any important note it is because I have to share something important with you guys. This time is also it is not any different, the only difference is that I am really upset as I came across something horrible.

Just like every other person I take pride in my work. The stories which you read, are not just stories, they are my hard work. I spend sleepless nights just to finish completing a chapter so that I don't make my readers wait for long. I am sure every other writer who loves their readers will do the same.

Now just imagine the hurt that I have been going through since the moment I found my work is being stolen and being uploaded on another website that too under my username.

Each and every story which I have uploaded on Wattpad is being uploaded on that website. Last night I accidentally came across this pathetic website only to find all my stories on that website under my username. Not only mine but several other Wattpad writers' stories are also being posted there.

I can't sleep the whole night and I am feeling so heartbroken and angry. I feel like strangling these bastards who are stealing people's hard work and putting on their pathetic website just to earn money.

They have copied each and everything which I have uploaded on Wattpad. Even my latest stories which I have just started posting here are also stolen. In fact, these losers are even copying my author's note which I post separately for my Wattpad family, similarly like this one. I feel they are going to copy this note too.

So, whoever the hell you are, who is shameless stealing other people's efforts.

SCREW YOU, YOU FILTHY PIG! I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL FOR STEALING MY WORK AND PUTTING IT ON YOUR CHEAP WEBSITE.

This also got me thinking that my work is not secure on this platform, anything which I will upload here can easily be stolen by such lowlifes. I don't know what to do, as I am feeling clueless. I am hesitant to upload my work here now.

I won't lie at one point I even thought of removing all my stories, but then they already have stolen them. Honestly, I don't feel like putting new updates here anymore.

I am attaching the screenshots of the website and I am even going to paste the link of the website. So, you can warn other writers whose work you find on this website, as I am sure they are also not aware of this theft.

This is the website link. 👉

New update: See this, my this note has also been copied, and it is not even two hours since I have posted this note.

Another update:

Firstly, thank you so much for your support. Since last night I am feeling so upset, however, your comments really made me feel better. I feel stronger than before. I am not going to make another post so I will be updating you on this post only with what I have discovered.

I can't find any way to report that website neither I have much knowledge of such matters so I don't know how to do or what to do. I have read Wattpad FAQs regarding such matters, in which I found that if some other Wattpad user has stolen someone's work and publish it on their account then Wattpad will take action against them and remove the plagiarized work. However, there is nothing as such Wattpad can do if it is on some other website.

I couldn't even find any contact information on that fishy website so that I could contact its owner.

I have talked to someone from Inkitt informing them about this issue as I post my work on that platform too, they assured me on Inkitt their developers take great measures to stop their pages from being copied.

Moreover, as I wanted to test something, I removed two of my stories from here. Then again I visited that website and guess what? Those stories are not available on that website too. I feel there is a bot or something which is attached to my Wattpad account (Sorry if I am not able to explain myself, as I am not good at this stuff) and copies all my activities.

I am still clueless about what should I do. I love you guys and this platform, as it has given me so much. I don't want to leave Wattpad and you guys, neither I am going to leave. But I don't know how to stop my work from being copied. Things like this are really depressing.

There are somethings which I considered but I am not sure about them.

1)I should only update my stories further on Inkitt and post an announcement on Wattpad so that you guys will still be able to read them (But I know many of you want to read updates on Wattpad only, so it is really confusing.).

2) I should update both on Inkitt and Wattpad then remove the content from Wattpad after a certain period of time, as I noticed if I remove any content from here it gets removed from that website too. In this way, even readers who don't wish to read on Inkitt will be able to get updates.

If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

Again thank you so much for your love and for standing with me. You guys don't know, how much your support means to me. Love you!
