Overlapping_Cabello

I am deeply disappointed to find out that some of you have been distributing and even translating my stories into other languages without my permission, and sharing them in group chats with hundreds of people. Do you respect the author at all?
          	
          	Do you understand the consequences of this? What if someone takes those translations, creates an account somewhere, and redistributes my books under a different name claiming them as their own? Who will take responsibility for that?
          	
          	I spent an entire month working with very little sleep to write VOID. I won’t even start on how much time and effort I put into NBY and Bare It All. Yet someone can just purchase it once and distribute it like this.
          	
          	If you purchase my work, it is strictly for your personal reading only.
          	
          	There is a reason I put VOID on Wattpad for free. It is for readers who cannot afford to buy it. The full version is there only for those who choose to support me. It is not for anyone to translate and redistribute to large groups instead.
          	
          	This is honestly very disappointing and heartbreaking for me. I don’t even know how to fully put it into words. My heart really hurts right now. Some of you say you love my work, but this isn’t love. This is just enjoying the attention that comes from sharing someone else’s story.
          	
          	For readers who speak other languages, there are translation tools available online that you can use for personal reading. That is always okay. But distributing translated versions is not.
