Hello, beautiful! How are you? My name is Emilia, and I wanted to ask if I could translate your story *Dear Juliette* into Spanish. It would mean a lot to me, as I really enjoy your writing. I hope you have a lovely day, and I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi there, I hope you're doing well. 
          
          I want to bring to your attention that I have come across a story titled "Can't Catch Me Now" written by "ultrxholland" which bears a striking resemblance to your Colin fanfic "Sutherland." The introduction of the story uses many of the same words, similes, and comparisons as your fanfic, with a few exceptions. Additionally, some of the chapters in the story start and play out in a similar manner to yours.
          Perhaps you should investigate. 
          
          Apologies for the inconvenience. Have a nice day!

@ultrxholland | thank you for apologizing and taking actions to remediate the situation; I appreciate it. as a writer, i'm glad "sutherland" resonated with you and inspired your creativity, but there is a line to how far that inspiration can go. as long as you edit the story to remove plagiarism and any striking similarities, i am fine if you republish. i know writing is such a special and personal experience, and i never want to take someone's creativity away.

@hhypnos I have unpublished my book. I read Sutherland and took much inspiration, perhaps too much. I am extremely sorry and will edit 'Can't Catch Me Now' instantaneously to make sure it is not plagiarism, if you do not wish me to republish it, that is perfectly fine. I also apologise for no credit given, I should've thought it through, I was just caught in the ideas I had formulated in my head for Amaryllis that I went straight ahead. Again, I am deeply sorry for this, I fully understand if you do not wish for it be published again.
