Dear @WEIRD00_bro
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to sincerely apologize for using your story idea in one of my own works. I want to be completely transparent and admit that I was deeply inspired by your writing, and I did not intend to disrespect or undermine your creativity.
When I first came across your work, I instantly became a huge fan. Your stories had such a profound impact on me, and when I saw that you were no longer active on Wattpad, I felt really sad and, to be honest, left the platform myself for a while. I missed your writing so much that I thought it would be a way to keep your spirit alive by reimagining your idea in my own style. At the time, I believed it was more of an homage, but I now understand that it could be considered copying, and for that, I am truly sorry.
Had I known you were back on Wattpad, I would never have gone ahead with writing the story. I realize now that it was not my place to use your idea, even with credit. While I did mention you in the story description, I can see how that might not be enough or the right way to handle it. I deeply regret any hurt or frustration this may have caused.
I respect you and your work immensely and would never want to take credit for something that is yours. Please know that this was done out of admiration, not ill intent, and I am genuinely sorry for not considering the consequences.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope we can move forward from this with understanding.
Sincerely,
Shine~
