Hey besties,
I’m coming to you with some concerning news. Right now there are a lot of wattpad authors whose work is being stolen. Specifically sapphic authors. This month alone there were about 20 books published on Kindle Unlimited that were just the copy and pasted text of stories from this platform.
I’ve had people try to steal my work before. They did it differently. They took the premise of one of my stories and copied the plot almost exactly. They only wrote about 5 chapters of it before they quit because so many of my readers started to troll them for stealing my idea. I love my readers and love that they went to bat for me.
But now that i’ve started to take writing seriously, it’s leaving me with a dilemma because i really don’t want my work stolen. I don’t want to take it down because I know that wattpad is one of the only free platforms for reading with constant new content. So what do you guys think?
Let me know what you would do, what you think I should do, what you don’t want me to do etc. I just want some advice from my readers on this.
