Hey sweets, 
          	
          	WattPad responded to me and I found out that this person, Lipsa Nalini Naik, has published my story, Worlds Apart, with her as author.
          	
          	This person plagiarised my whole book word for word and she is selling it on Amazon.
          	
          	She simply changed my characters' names and just published it. She even has it up on her Inkitt profile.
          	
          	I'm literally burning with rage right now and I'm so frustrated with this because my whole WattPad account got taken down because I had no idea my story was out there stolen by someone and I was hit with the copyright strike.
          	
          	I will find a way to get this person to take my story down and I won't stop till my story is safely back under my name.
          	
          	My only message to this person, if you're not patient enough to slowly craft a book, don't plagiarise someone else's.
          	
          	Have a good day everyone.
          	
          	With love,
          	Janice Gan

Hey sweets, 
          
          I'm so sorry the first post here on my profile is so depressing. You guys would know me from my previous username, GoldShaken.
          
          I'm the writer and author of my 4 books below, in sequence of when it was uploaded.
          
          1. Accidental Home 
          2. Worlds Apart
          3. Eros' Destiny
          4. The Dark Man
          
          Just to shed some light on what happened, I noticed that my story, Worlds Apart, was missing from my profile one day.
          
          After confirming that you guys couldn't find my story anymore, I emailed WattPad's Help Center.
          
          After a whole week of no response, I decided to re-upload my story from scratch since I did save my story in my phone.
          
          I uploaded 3 chapters of 'Worlds Apart' onto my profile and the next day, I received an email that my account was closed with 3 copyright strikes.
          
          My guess is that re-uploading my own story backfired on me and I copyrighted myself.
          
          Anyway, I wanted to let you guys know that I'll upload my 4 stories onto 'Inkitt' under my username, GoldShaken. So my readers can hop on there to finish reading the listed books above.
          
          I'm hoping I can get my WattPad account back but in the event that I can't, I'll continue using this account, GoldShaken00. I won't re-upload my stories here anymore to avoid complications, I'll share new stories here once I have those done up as mentioned on my profile before it was closed.
          
          I love reading your comments on my stories and it really sucks that I can't do that with my 4 books now. But I really want to thank each of you guys for giving my books a chance.
          
          I followed each of you guys from the notifications I received in my email when you comment or follow me and I'm so glad I can find some familiar people on a platform that I really enjoy even though I feel a little bitter.
          
          Once again, thank you for the support and may God bless you in everything that you do ❤
          
          With love,
          Janice Gan
