Hey Lovelies! 
          	
          	I've been reflecting a lot on The Soulmates Series. Writing it has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life and has made me connected to you in ways I never expected. It's because of that connection that I want to be transparent with you about something important.
          	
          	For the foreseeable future, The Soulmates Series will be discontinued due to repeated plagiarism. While some platforms have responded to my DMCA takedown requests, multiple other platforms have been unresponsive. Google has advised that legal action is an option, but at this time, the series will be officially discontinued on Wattpad. 
          	
          	I'll be using this time to focus on new stories and personal ventures that I'm working on, and I hope to share more with you here and on my socials. I truly hope you will like and support these new works.
          	
          	From the bottom of my heart, thank you so, so, SO much for joining me on Ashton and Elizabeth's journey. It means the universe to me to have met you all as we explored the world together over these past 5 years.
          	
          	Writing The Soulmates Series helped me through very difficult times and rewarded me with many wonderful memories. Your comments, laughs, and tears along the way have made this experience truly special.
          	
          	I am deeply grateful for over ten million reads on the entire series. I'll still be active on Wattpad, so you can drop a message on my message board or reach out on Instagram. 
          	
          	Perhaps one day The Soulmates Series will return. This isn't the end, but a new beginning. 
          	
          	I love you to the sun and back,
          	Abigail

Hey Lovelies!
          
          Just a quick note to let you know that the recent chapter reposts are part of a DMCA takedown request. I needed to verify that I'm the original author, as someone unfortunately plagiarized my story on another site again.
          
          This isn’t a full return of the story just yet, but I truly appreciate your continued support and interest. I’m keeping an open mind about bringing it back in the future, so thank you for sticking with me ❤️
          
          Love you all to the sun and back ❤️✨️

Omg finally!! I’ve been checking almost every week hoping for an update  I was  starting to lose hope but I’m so happy you reposted! can't wait to see what’s coming next

            Hi, love! Thank you so much for your message. It honestly means a lot to me that you've been checking in and still care about the story I just wanted to let you know that I republished a few chapters temporarily for a DMCA takedown request, since someone plagiarized my work again on another site. The published chapters are to help the process go more smoothly.
            
            This isn't a full comeback just yet, but your message reminded me how much I love this story and the amazing readers who've supported it. I'm definitely keeping an open mind about bringing the series back!

Hi Abigail! I was wondering if you still have plans for The Soulmates series? If you published it, I would absolutely be willing to buy it! Also, from the previous edited and revised chapters you posted, I absolutely loved them and it would be amazing if you continued that. Otherwise are there other projects that you are working on? Cause I'm all for those too! I understand if lots of this is confidential for now. Love you, girlie! Thank you so much for your stories and creativity!

@Anomalous_butterfly Thank you so much for your kind message! I do have plans for the Soulmates Series and I'm working on other series and stories in the background. Thank you so much for the love you show to me and my world of imperfect characters. TSS is my first series and readers like you make me so happy to continue writing. 
            
            My schedule has been so hectic lately, which is why I'm not as active as before, but I can't wait to share everything I've been working on. I want to show you better sides of myself and my writing in the future. 
            
            Love you forever to the sun and back ❤️

HEY LOVELIES!
          
          Over the past months, I've received so many kind messages sharing your love and support for The Soulmates Series. I'm still handling the plagiarism issues, but progress is being made, and I'd like to revisit the series.
          
          I have gotten many requests to bring back the original version of The Soulmates Series alongside the rewritten version. That really means a lot to me because this series has shaped my journey as a writer and provided me with so many opportunities, like meeting you and joining the Wattpad Creator's Program ❤️️
          
          I'm willing to pause the rewrite and take time to edit the original version. This won’t be a complete overhaul of the story. I'll keep the plot and characters you know and love, and every scene from the original will remain—I'll just be refining the dialogue and grammar. I'll also be adding a few new scenes and rearranging some chapters to improve the pacing and enhance character relationships.
          
          This won't be a perfect version of the story. My goal as a writer and my vision for the series have changed, and the version that fully reflects this will be a rewrite. I'll be doing the rewrite offline because of plagiarism concerns, and I hope to share that version with you one day, alongside new works.
          
          I'd really love to hear your thoughts. Would you be interested in reading an edited version of The Soulmates Series (not a rewrite) that keeps all the original scenes and characters, adds a few new ones, and improves the pacing, grammar, and dialogue while staying true to the heart of the story?
          
          Let me know your input in the comments, on my Wattpad message board, or message me on Instagram @xclusivelya
          
          Thank you so much for loving this story and for sticking with me through every part of the journey. ❤️
          
          Stay happy, healthy, and hydrated 
          Abigail

@Vicky_BookNerd Thanks for your response! It's nice to know that Elizabeth and Ashton's journey has a special place in your heart. I'm taking your suggestion into consideration as I try to find the best reading experience for everyone. Regarding the original version, I would edit only the grammar and punctuation, but everything else would be left as is. This is what you'd be interested in?

Vicky_BookNerd

@XclusivelyA Um, as much as I'm willing to dive into a diverse writing with extra scenes, I think that the original version was a big part of a lot of people's lives. The dialogues, the crazy scenes, and the places were just as important for everyone. So I think you should just post back the original version, just how it was, and then you can post the rewritten or re-edited version. I don't know, I just feel like the original version was way perfect on its own. Like seriously especially part one. There were lots of fun memories I wouldn't want to trade for anything. So yh, it's your call, but I hope you take my suggestion ❤️❤️❤️

          ❤️Hey Lovelies❤️
          
          I hope you're all doing well! Your messages of support mean the world to me—I’ve missed you all SO much.
          
          I'm here to update you on the situation with my series. The plagiarized version is still out there, and despite my efforts to have it removed, the website responsible has completely ignored me. I've sent multiple DMCA takedown requests (which are legal notices asking them to remove stolen content), contacted the website’s host, registrar, and even the registry, but to no avail.
          
          Since they won’t cooperate, I've turned to Google to have the site hidden from search results. To help with this process, I’ll be republishing a few chapters of the original version of the Soulmates Series (not the revised version). My goal is to finally resolve this issue so I can bring the story back to you—and also share everything else I’ve been working on behind the scenes!
          
          Thank you for your patience and for being the most wonderful friends and readers. Your support means everything to me, and I can't wait to share more with you soon.
          
          Stay happy, healthy, and hydrated 
          Abigail
