it’s quite a frequent thing i see on here of wattpad “writers” going on tumblr and stealing our works. even with credit (no, saying it’s from tumblr is NOT credit) is annoying and wrong. it’s very disheartening to see my works and other’s works being reposted without permission, some with the user pretending to be the author of said work which is outright disrespectful. this is why i repost my tumblr works here on wattpad, to avoid people stealing them and thinking they wouldn’t be caught—i spend a lot of hard work and time in my writing. even if your intentions are “well i thought it was really good and i wanted more people to read it too” yes, but you are drawing readers to YOUR account rather than the original authors’. and, as i’ve observed, most readers will assume that you wrote it unless you tell them that you didn’t. also, changing the title of the work so that you wouldn’t be called out is bad too. please, stop stealing/copying people’s writing, it’s a form of art—if you want an artist’s talent recognized, you can simply put it in your recommended section on your page. it’s not hard.
much love, isabella
