Sooooooo many people have come to me and asked if they can translate this story and PLEASE!!!
That is literally thegreatest honor. Period.

And here it is on Wattpad under this:

Please, if you can, show it lots of love for me! I can't imagine how hard this person is working to translate all my nonsense!
That being said (and this is nothing at all towards this person here who did email me and has stayed in contact with me through the process), here is the part of being an author I HATE.
Reprimanding people for doing shady things with the story or stories I have been brave enough to share, and REMINDING people not to do that shit. To anyone.
I've caught it once before with another story I wrote years and years ago and the problem was never resolved but I let it go cause it wasn't that great of a story anyway.
With Kidnapped it has happened FOUR (4) times. That *I* know of. And one only cause the person was, no joke, dumb enough to tell on themselves and then get pissed off for getting called out. Within the last 30 days.
Please don't. Okay? I hate getting mad, and having to talk myself down, and word vomiting in DMs, and having to deal with the emotional and mental trauma of realizing that all of the hard work and dedication that has been put into this by so many people has been STOLEN.
IT KILLS ME!!!!!
Plagiarism is theft. Plain and simple. It isn't cool, and it makes you look bad for life. Trust me.
It also discourages the authors from continuing because more often than not they no longer feel comfortable in the world that they spent untold hours world building.
Kidnapped has been THOUSANDS of hours, since October 2018, of world building and editing and rewriting and crying and...ugh. I can't tell you how many HUNDREDS of pages I still have left in notes for our Kidnapped Universe. And to see people take what so many of us have cried over and claim it as their own? It's a feeling I cannot even begin to describe.
The last time this happened someone on Wattpad posted this story word for word, graphic for graphic, song for song, and said it was their own, and I was SICK. Thankfully that story was taken down. A second one I haven't been able to find again and the third one the site I reported it to basically said because names had been changed I was out of luck.
Please know people message me all the time. And I check google all the time. So IF you have stolen this story and I haven't found you yet, I will. Or one of my friends will, or karma will.
If you think you won't get caught and called out, you will.
If anyone wants to know what I am talking about, you can message me for receipts.
I am NOT a bitch, but I have spent THOUSANDS of hours since mid-October 2018 building this story and I will NOT let someone take credit for ANYONE ELSES hard work. Ever.
If you don't want to be called out, don't provoke me by STEALING what is mine.
If any of you see a story copying this one that hasn't given proper credit, or that sounds too close to this story on ANY platform, please let me know, because I will push to have it taken down. Don't steal what I have written. Go out there and make your own kind of beautiful. BE ORIGINAL. It's awesome.
