@Room317 I realize now that you meant the artwork I had posted originally for Room 317 was taken and I wanted to say yes I did take it but I replaced it with artwork that I made myself. The story is now gone and will never be posted again by me. Again I want to apologize for the mess that I made and I take full responsibility for my actions.

@Room317 I'm sorry that I didn't ask for your permission to post your story. That was wrong and insensitive of me and I assure you that it will not happen again. In my defense, however, I am not too young to be on the Internet. I am 16 years old. I only reposted the stories because I know they can be difficult to find. I wanted to make it easier for others to find them. And I DID NOT steal any artwork. I made it myself. I will take down Room 317 for you and will not post it again. I will also probably take down Dark as well. I'm sorry that I came off as rude and immature to you, that was not my intention. I also apologize for not asking you if it was ok to post your story. I bet you worked very hard on it and it is an amazing story. I hope that this does not leave us on bad terms. I truly am sorry for this. I didn't mean for it to happen. It was a stupid idea it will not happen again.

It is wrong to post other people's work without their permission. It is wrong to repost other's work, even with their permission, under the guise of getting hits and ratings to YOUR account. If the work is posted on the author's account then nobody has the right to post it elsewhere - you link, you do not repost. The only time you should repost is if the author decides to leave and gives you permission to host their work in their absence. It is plagiairism to repost someone else's work without their permission, state it's not yours but fail to say who's it is AND steal their cover artwork, removing their name etc. The 1D fandom is losing decent authors left, right and centre because people like you don't have any respect or manners. The moral of the story is 'link, do not repost'. 

Are you stupid as well as incredibly rude? Are you really this stupid or just too young to be on the internet without a mature adult holding your hand? You should check your emails. It was Wattpad staff who deleted Room 317. They aren't going to be happy to see you've reloaded it. You might lose your account. I would check your email and then quickly remove it before they see I've reported you again. DO NOT REPOST MY WORK. 

You know, it's not really good to post other people's work and I know you're not claiming it as your own, but I don't think you should post it in it's entirety. I mean, if you want to recommend a really good fic you've read, you could make a fic rec book and provide a summary, a link to the story and your own thoughts.
          
          But posting it on your own account when it's not yours is just not cool, man. I think you should take it down because you're receiving votes and comments on work that isn't yours. I don't know about Dark and if you've got permission for it but I know that the original author of Room 317 is definitely not happy so I think you should take it down.
