Hello everyone, I know I had promised weekly updates but a lot has happened since then. I’ve had two deaths in the family and honestly have had no motivation to write due to stolen work. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to contact these pay per story/chapter apps that have stolen The Mafia’s Flame. I see there is a version of my story on a platform called Novelverse that is going around on Facebook ads but cannot find the link. They’ve changed the title to “Adopted and Doted Daughter of the Mafia.” Frankly I’m getting tired of this. Despite protecting myself and claiming full rights of my works they still get stolen. I’m seriously considering taking down all my works from Wattpad, which means that the Mafias muse may not be completed. This means an updated and edited version of TMF will never be read. It means that the TMF & TMM crossover I had planned will not happen. Wattpad no longer protects its authors and it’s really sad to see. An option would be to move my works to ao3, as original works. I hate leaving so many without a way to read my stories even if some people think they’re not great, someone else will like them. They’re cheesy, they’re funny, it’s whatever people perceive it to be. I want people to read for FREE. I do this to bring entertainment for those who can’t afford to pay money for a basic action as reading of all things. If you see my story on another app, please report it. Let me know your thoughts? 
          	
          	Love you guys

This is so sad and unfortunate, I hate plagiarism. I would suggest kindle unlimited, but I see it’s important for you to keep the free aspect. I’m not sure how putting it on ao3 will help, as I thought ao3 is also a free app, accessible to many and all. I need a bit more understanding concerning that. I second the Inkitt option. I don’t read from there often, if at all, but I would for your books.

Hey lovely, I’m so so so sorry you have to go through so much loss. I can’t even begin to fathom what you have gone through. 
          
          If you’ve lost motivation for your stories then you’ve lost motivation for them. That’s okay. That’s how life works sometimes, your a different person than you were when you started. You wrote something that so many people connected with and you will always have that. If you need to focus on other things or other projects that inspire who you are now, then I am so excited for you. 
          
          Do what you have to do to give you peace of mind whether that’s publishing your stories on a different platform or otherwise.

Not sure if you are aware but your book 'The Mafia's Flame' is on a pay per chapter site. It is under a different title, and the people's names have been  changed, but it's still book. It is now called "the adopted  and doted daughter of the mafia" on novelverse.

Hi dear how are you? Can I ask you if you know stories about brothers and family? For example, a mafia family kidnaps their young daughter, they find her after a while, and so on, but without gay characters, the main or side character. In English on Wattpad? I am sorry for disturbing you
