Hello everyone. First of all, I would like to say a big thank you for all of your support. Secondly, with the recent announcement that Wattpad is partnering with Paramount to essentially scavenge for story ideas to adapt into film and TV, I am heavily considering removing my work from here. 
          	
          	The main reason I became an active poster again on this site is because of the rampant plagiarism that occurs here, but I have been getting much more interaction than I expected. I would hate to leave anyone hanging, but I am also not comfortable with the possibility of my ideas being stolen by some suiy wearing executive producer in an office.
          	
          	Maybe they intend to commission authors rather than simply lift the ideas, maybe everyone is misreading the situation. I hope that's the case, but with corporate entertainment, I wouldn't be surprised if they went for the stealing route, using Wattpad's TOS to do so legally.
          	
          	Despite writing fanfic and not original work, I still worry about the integrity of my plot ideas in certain cases.
          	
          	As of right now, I am torn on what to do, both for the sake of continuing to combat plagiarism and for the reader base I have here, while also wanting to protect my work from any predatory TOS.
          	
          	I am still deciding what to do, but in the event that I delete here, you can find me on Tumblr, Quotev, or Ao3.

I had been struck by nostalgia a while ago and was looking desperately to relive my  love for Narnia. So I scoured endlessly for something to bring back how much I loved the Pevensies, Caspian and Aslan, and stumbled upon your 'The Faded Portrait Of a Bygone Era' and every thing I had hoped for was fulfilled. It's incredible, you are incredible ! I loved it and I am not even finished with it yet, I just had to thank you so much for writing it. Your imagination is otherworldly, no pun intended. Sometimes I had to stop reading altogether to marvel at merely a line or scene just because of how well you put it together. Thank you so much for it, it has been great.

@BeelzebubsDevil Thank you so much  Truly, I can't say how much that means to me. That series in particular has been so special to me, and ending it was one of the most bittersweet moments I've ever had. I hope you enjoy the rest of it just as much
