hi flowers
im writing to address a serious matter regarding the originality of my work. it has come to my attention that my book is being plagiarized by a user on wattpad.
while i always encourage creative inspiration, there is a distinct line between being inspired and committing a direct copyright violation.
in this instance, my main character’s mood boards and significant portions of my manuscript have been copied nearly word-for-word.
i have attempted to reach out to the individual to resolve this privately, however, they have chosen to block me rather than engage in a professional dialogue.
one thing that we all need to know is plagiarism undermines the hard work and dedication that creators pour into their stories.
im currently taking the necessary steps to resolve this through the proper channels. i really hope to settle this quietly, but im more than prepared to take further public action to protect my intellectual property if the situation does not improve.
please remember that inspiration is not an excuse for theft. copying plot points, character aesthetics, and prose is extremely unacceptable.
im currently handling the situation and will keep u updated. i appreciate those who brought this to my attention—thank u for protecting my original storytelling
i kindly ask my community to respect my work and the work of all authors because, originality matters. thank you for standing by me during this frustrating time, i love u </3
