Some of you might be wondering what happened, so here’s an update on the plagiarism situation.
I managed to get in touch with one of the group’s administrators and told her the whole story. And finally, after nearly a month since my first request to remove the stolen content, all posts containing chapters of my books have finally been taken down.
The person who stole them and spent over two years pretending to be their author never responded. It seems they haven’t been active in the group for a few months now, but everything they posted there had been taken from various authors. What’s even more shocking – they were an administrator themselves. While pretending to create a safe space for writers and readers, they committed one of the worst things that can happen to an author: plagiarism. I wouldn’t be surprised if they try the same thing elsewhere, on another platform or in another community.
What’s also deeply upsetting is that in order to have my work removed, I had to send countless messages and requests, even threatening to report copyright infringement formally. It got to the point where I felt like the villain in this situation. I honestly have no words.
But despite all of this, I want to thank everyone who supported me during this difficult time. Your messages, kindness, and encouragement meant more than I can express.
Please keep supporting artists and creators. It truly matters. And stream "Arirang". Our boys are counting on us, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.

@Ayashee11 Dzień dobryyyyyy It is a good news that you finally managed to be heard, and have your work removed. You spent a lot of energy on it, when you were not even the one doing wrong..... But please don't let it discourage you from writing, you have talent and your work have positive impact on many many readers I am sure. For some, reading is our therapy :) Beside, if your work was not worth it and you didn't have talent then they wouldn't have tried to use your books for their own benefit :P

Another monday without any update about the author......

Does anyone know which The Crow movie the story is based on? The original one or one of the newer adaptations?
I’m not sure if the story will ever be finished, but I’d love to watch the movie so I can imagine my own ending.
It’s getting hard to keep waiting, but I’m sending nothing but love and support <3 <3

@kattrimi, i am sorry, but the movies and the story might have different endings because only the revenge part and coming back from the dead part is the same in both. This story follows its own pace with different plots and storyline, which is totally unrelated to the movie. The author is inspired by the movie, but they both are unrelated on the basis of the plot. I am waiting every monday for an update also, but the author is taking a break from wattpad ithink because of some stupid ass b*tches :/

Hello author. I know the situation you've been through is truly unpleasant (and often incomprehensible to others) for someone like you, who has shared their work and art with us. I don't know if you'll ever write again (obviously, I hope so), but in any case, I hope you're well and that this situation doesn't get you down. You have immense talent, but you'll meet many horrible people. And if I can give you just one piece of advice (and I'm telling you this because, unfortunately, a lot is happening in my house this year, too), never let yourself get down. Never let negativity take over. Always find your light. Don't destroy yourself and your passion because of others. There are so many people who love and admire you. I hope to hear from you soon and to know that you're well. Even though I don't know you personally, I assure you that you've helped me tremendously during the darkest moments of my life, and if I can offer you even a little comfort, I will. Hugs.

Hey Authornim,
I just wanted to share something with you as you are my favorite author on this app. I just recently became a mother. I am seriously not sure what made me share this news with you as there are people in my life whom I didn't even tell that I was pregnant, and here i am sharing this people who are totally strangers in a way because of connection and emotions i felt while reading your books:))

@Taekook0t7 Thank you so much!! I get really busy these days that sometimes it does get overwhelming, but I have people for support and I come here daily just to check if the author is replying to anybody or not but in a way she might be struggling and might want to be left alone for sometime or might be busy irl. So, simply check and go my life. But I really miss her so much!!!! I hope she feels better and soon return....
