break

My last warning. Stop gaslighting me. I can recognize when a pattern doesn't make sense. I know what I experienced. Not one, not two, not three but four different individuals have told me how uncomfortable it is for you to appear on their message boards and beg for a follow even though they have never interacted with you and to subsequently have your bot-like "friends" appear telling them to follow you.
          
          In counting, six different people have pointed out how strange it is for you to always use the same photos for book covers as I do when there are multiple angles you could use. For example, my original cover for my phayeon stripper au with purple hair rita, Pharita posted at least 3 other photos just in different angles yet you picked mine. Your "new" stories always come out within 24 hours of mine being posted. You never explained why you admitted to plagiarizing my love potion story and only credited me when I called you out but later TOOK OUT my credit.
          
          You must believe I'm either blind or really dumb. Do I give off the impression that I was born yesterday? Stop stalking me, stop guilt tripping me and others and stop stalking my friends/followers. I've seen you repeatedly saying "itgirlrita won't forgive me even though it was not my fault :(" you are not entitled to forgiveness. LEAVE! ME! ALONE!
          

Hello, one of my best friends is @_Scars_Tell_Stories and i never knew that she.. stole ur work.. 
          
          I hope everythings okay, and that everythings sorted out. I support both of you, and she’s been begging for forgiveness from you.
          
          Hope you forgive her, but what she did is truly weird and disgusting. When you can write your own stories, why copy others?
          
          All due respect.

          I'm not gullible. Every time I posted a story with a cover, without fail, hours later you will suddenly introduce a story with that same exact picture. On multiple occasions you had similar plots to my stories within a day of me posting. You took me off the credits for your love potion story, which you yourself had acknowledged was taken from me and you initially credited me after I voiced my frustrations. You fully copied my phayeon stripper au. You're suddenly advertising "power bottom rita" x puppy top. You're going to my friends/followers' message boards telling them that if they like rupha/phasa/phayeon to follow you even though they clearly do not read your stories. I was not born yesterday. 
          
          It is WEIRD. I've had multiple people tell me they were confused and felt uncomfortable because of your antics.
          
          And for the love of God, STOP talking about me. You're bringing me up in every random conversation. Making me look crazy and unreasonable like I'm the bad guy for not forgiving you. All that does is make me even more irritated. I'm not sure if I have just been too kind and lenient about this whole thing up until now, but enough. Cease and desist!

I don't know what is her fixation with me in particular but I do not appreciate it. However, bothering others within my circles is even more unacceptable. 

I'm breaking my hiatus for a moment just to address this. You are officially blocked. User _Scars_Tell_Stories was who copied my works & covers, but allegedly it was a "friend" who told her to. That issue is behind me, I don't care anymore. But now you've been clearly stalking my followers to harass them to follow you. My friend told me you appeared on her conversation board and she felt uncomfortable. Others have come to me about it as well. This behavior is very strange. 

Before I go on my break, I want to genuinely thank everyone who has shown me kindness and support. It means more than you all know.
          
          And to @/NURUZE I can only hope you eventually find the help that you so clearly need. You're a severely disturbed and unwell individual. Your fixation with me, from tagging me in incoherent and unintelligible coke‑fueled rants to repeatedly wishing me harm, has nothing to do with me. You’re fighting with voices in your head. Please seek professional help, you need to be diagnosed and medicated. As I am not a citizen in your country, I do not know what are the hotlines available to help with drug addiction, but please do look them up. Get well soon.
          
          To everyone else, I’m sorry you had to watch this insanity play out in a space that’s supposed to foster creativity and fun. When I return, I hope I’ll be able to bring you far better stories than the one we’ve all just witnessed.

I've seen multiple people say the other person deserves forgiveness, including the person who initiated the plagiarism. They even told me that I am too "famous" so it should've been okay to take my work. And the nail on the coffin was scolding me for having "no brain" because I was upset at everyone involved instead of just directing my anger towards them specifically. I've received only one apology throughout all this lmao
          
          Am I not allowed to be upset? Do I have to be forgiving? I already said this before but I spend days, sometimes weeks on my stories. I don't care who "deserves" the most blame. I don't forgive ANY of you.
          
          I've been trying to put this behind me, but others keep dragging me back into this. Please just leave me alone. I'm really tired and disheartened. 

I’m going to take a short break from this app/site. I’m not in the right headspace to be here right now.
          
          I’m frustrated and honestly hurt by how my plagiarism situation has been handled. My work was stolen, yet I feel like I’m being told to “be the bigger person,” and somehow the focus has shifted away from the actual harm that was done. It’s been really disheartening, and I feel genuinely disrespected by how things have unfolded.
          
          For now, I’m stepping back so I don’t say or do anything I’ll regret. I just need some space. Thank you. I'll try to be back in March.

I started writing here purely for fun, and seeing this hobby grow from just a couple of votes and a handful of comments to now receiving 10-20 votes and hundreds of thoughtful comments each chapter has been incredibly humbling. I’m truly grateful for everyone who takes the time to read, engage, and enjoy my stories. I write for myself but I always appreciate all the feedback and responses from readers and that it my motivation to write more.
          
          Thank you everybody. I hope I can continue to live up to your expectations, keep improving, and create stories that you’ll love just as much as I love writing them.
          
          Lastly, Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year, Ramadan Mubarak, and Happy Black History Month. 

Happy Birthday Chiquita ♡ the most talented maknae. I'm so proud of you
