Another day, another plagiarism….
          	
          	
          	So if any reader is using my series to write theirs, and I don’t know about it yet, just know this is the summary: I’m killing Hanna in season 7, Pam Fields is A, and Toby and Caleb cheat on their girlfriends and go full-on brokeback mountain in front of the whole town with everyone watching… 
          	This is a joke. Please don’t plagiarise me or use my dialogue and say you should’ve given credit (like that makes it better after you’ve done it). 
          	STOP STEALING.
          	If my work/series has inspired you to write your own, FANTASTIC. AMAZING. I love that for you. However, what I don’t love is when my original ideas/concepts/dialogue etc (or versions of it) are copied and presented as your own without credit or permission, and without telling me first. I’ve had ONE READER ask if it was okay if they took inspiration. ONE!! While every other month, I get a new email or see another story of a reader who has stolen my work. 
          	STOP IT. STOP PLAGIARISING ME. 
          	
          	
          	ANYWAY, an update for ā€œBad Liarā€ is coming this weekend.

@-saintsiren exactly that — it’s a lie. The only reason there’s an apology is because they’ve been caught, there was no guilt when they were copying

@leahsayshiorhey it would’ve different if it was a translation story because that’s credit but not this. Don’t lie and say those things when you’re just shocked you got caught

Hi, how have you been doing lately? Are we gonna get another chapter of Bad Liar soon?

leahsayshiorhey

Hey my lovely, I’ve had a few personal issues come up in the last two weeks which I’ve had to deal with first. I’m hoping to get the next chapter out either later today or tomorrow. Hope you’re doing well <33

Hi, will you be doing the "We Love you to deAth" Episode? It's the one where the cast answers question and tells what their favorite moment/scene and answers fan question.. It's on Hulu if you want to watch and see if you would want too do it.(: Can't wait for the doll house episode and what you do with it!ā¤ļø

leahsayshiorhey

@yourstrulyy_maddiee I’d imagine that’s how I would do it if I did, not sure where it would fit and whatnot but I’ll decide after I’ve watched it. Thank you for thinking of me, that’s so sweet!ā¤ļø It’s so crazy that it’s almost done, I think I keep adding chapters so it’ll last longer because I’ll miss it once it’s over :(

If you ever do it, you could make up a character with the face claim of Brittany but just make it your own character?ā¤ļø could be her twin sister or you could just change the name of her altogether. I just watched it last night and I just thought to ask if you would be into it lol You're so welcome and I hope you enjoy the episode because I loved it! I'm excited too and you're almost Done with the whole series, way past half way.(:

Hi my lovely — oh my god, I’ve never seen that episode or even knew it existed!! I don’t know how I’d write that because I’ve never done anything with real people (the actresses etc). I’m happy to do a chapter solely based on answering any reader questions if you’re interested?? I’ll definitely give it a watch and see if anything feels right to maybe add as a little special treat, thank you!! I’m so excited for you to read the dollhouse — I can’t believe we’re almost there ā¤ļø

So I heard that Lucy Hale is gonna play twins in an upcoming project called ā€œDead Lettersā€ based on the book by Caite Dolan-Leach. Troiann Bellisario played twins, Sasha Pieterse portrayed twins, and now Lucy Hale is playing twins.

leahsayshiorhey

I saw that Lucy posted it on her stories on instagram; I just wish it wasn’t being produced by Alex Cooper. But I’m hoping it’s a good project for Lucy, I’ve not read the book so I wouldn’t know if it’s a good base going in

Hi, are you going to publish your story (Bad Liar) on AO3 anytime soon? Or are you going to wait until it is completed?

leahsayshiorhey

Hey — season three will probably be up soon, then the rest will come after. I’m focusing on finishing season five first before I upload more than season three on AO3 though because that’s where my focus is.

Hey babe I need your help my friend is also going through some copyright shit someone stole her work and could you give her some tips on how to get it back?

leahsayshiorhey

It isn’t worth going over with them, the team is useless and it’s exhausting. I argued for days saying that fanfic like mine fuel this site and there are PLL ones that have been on this site for over ten years without being taken down, which they refused to accept. In the end, the team stopped replying to me. When I sent another complaint after yet another person copied me, but now I didn’t have my original book to attest it, they flat-out ignored me. 
            Again, I’m so sorry this has happened to your friend. In future, if she does continuing writing (which I really hope she does), I would personally write on the message board of the user who stole your friend’s work that they are copying or comment on their book under the parts that are stolen. Usually, users are pretty quick to apologise and unpublish. However, some might block you so if they do, make sure you or other readers can then go on to comment. If there are other books, check they haven’t stolen from other authors too; most likely, they have. Also if she feels like a book is copying or close to it, block them. Always take screenshots too. Of stolen parts, posts or any interaction with a use plagiarising. It’s usually a good idea to compare both stories side-by-side so you can see how much is stolen and have proof. Even if they’re adamant they haven’t copied, usually when you say you have screenshots, it’s enough to scare them to remove it. The threat of reporting is good too because most people wouldn’t know Wattpad can remove fanfics over copyright of shows etc either.

Hey lovely, I’m so sorry that’s happening to your friend. It’s gut-wrenching, I can imagine how hopeless she feels right now. 
            Unfortunately, if it was removed by Wattpad for copyright of a show/book etc (gathering it’s the same thing I went through), she won’t get the book back. The only reason mine is, is because a lovely reader emailed me the book she had downloaded and I had to republish. All the votes, comments, reads from before are gone forever; it’s literally like starting fresh. 
            I don’t know fully why this happens. Guessing from my experience (someone who has reported a few stories to Wattpad and never had this issue until a couple months ago) it most likely happens because if your friend or a reader of theirs reports an account/story for copyright and then the other user appeals it. I had a message from Wattpad saying my story was removed for copying (which blew my mind at the audacity when it was word for word) another user then when I appealed it, they changed it to copyright of the original tv show so the app didn’t have to give it me back. From research, it probably means they’ve already deleted it and can’t get it back anyway. Wattpad can take both books because their policy says that this specific type of fanfic (even though their app is full of it) is against their rules.

For some reason, I don't think update notifications are working for most readers... but the new chapter of 'Bad Liar' is up.
