Important PSA:
A sketchy “mirror” site has a copy-pasted version a couple of my stories posted on it. (The plagiarized stories are OAL and BTB.) I have gone thru Wattpad channels to try and workshop a solution, though it appears they cannot do anything. I took down both OAL and BTB from Wattpad as a result, and have reached out to an attorney whom has told me he will try to help me out. Otherwise it looks like my best option would be to pay $200 for other people who deal professionally in copyright problems online to try and handle the problem.
BTB is VERY LIKELY TO MAKE A RETURN. If things can get sorted to a point where I’m comfortable, I would love to bring Arwen’s tales back to this site, especially since I’ve yet to complete the second half of the book.
There is a HIGH likelihood that this will be THE END of OAL being posted on Wattpad, largely because I am actually trying to get a publisher. (That’s the primary reason I’ve gotten in touch with an attorney.) So you guys might want to keep an eye out for updates where that is concerned, especially if you love Max and want to get her official story (I have made several revisions in the past 6 months that have altered it considerably from the first draft), and on top of that be able to hold a PHYSICAL copy of Max’s story.
In addition, I am attaching a link to a petition to get this plagiarizing site removed (see: http://chng.it/G4Mm55s6MK ) My stories are NOT the only ones from Wattpad that have been victim to this thievery. I’m praying that all of the wronged authors will be avenged.
I want to thank all of you for your continued support. I know Max’s story has grown to mean a lot to all of you, which makes my heart so happy, and simultaneously so sad for what actions I am needing to take to protect her story. I hope sincerely that soon I will be able to share more exciting news with you guys. Thank you for all your patience and grace and support in the meantime. ❤️
