Well. I really, really hate that I have to make this post.
I’ve decided to take "The Silhouette of Blood" down from Wattpad.
Why? Because I recently discovered that a website called "Teenfic" had reproduced my work without my permission and made it publicly accessible.
I am absolutely fucking done with this.
I put an absurd amount of time, effort, and care into writing this story. I’ve rewritten scenes countless times, spent hours obsessing over individual sentences, and continued working on the story even after publishing it. The idea that some random website can simply take the complete work and put it somewhere else without my permission is infuriating.
And before anyone asks: no, I did not give them permission.
I’ve already reported the infringement, but at this point I’m not comfortable leaving the complete book publicly available while I figure out what to do next.
There’s also a ridiculous irony to this because I’ve actually come up with A LOT of edits and changes for TSOB over the past few days. So the version that was copied isn't even going to be the version I ultimately want to publish. 😂
I’m genuinely sorry to everyone who was reading and following along here. I know some of you were invested in the story, the characters, and the chaos I’ve been throwing at you for the past 20 days. 😭❤️
I am NOT abandoning TSOB.
I’m still writing it. I still have a ridiculous amount planned. I just need to take control of where and when the story is available.
Thank you to everyone who read, commented, added TSOB to your lists, screamed about the characters with me, and supported my work.
And to whoever thought reposting someone else's novel without permission was okay:
Seriously? Fuck off.
