Hi everyone,
          	
          	I hope you're all doing well. Sorry, I've been AWOL lately. Someone who had read RIVALS brought this to my attention, and I just wanted to hop on here to ask if you guys could help me report this.  
          	
          	Someone by the name of "demonessblood" plagiarized my book, RIVALS, and they're passing it off as their own work in Turkish. They're calling it “Alfa'nın Rakibi”, and it appears to be a near word-for-word Turkish translation of my book, with only character names changed. Please help me report them to Wattpad. Thank you!

Hello, I really enjoyed your book Rivals and loved reading it.
          I wanted to let you know that a story on Wattpad titled “Alfa'nın Rakibi” by “demonessblood ” appears to be a near word-for-word Turkish translation of your book, with only character names changed.
          I’ve already reported it, but I thought you might want to check it as well.

            I really appreciate that you brought this matter to the author's attention ❤️❤️
            This is how it helps when a writer has loyal and true fans/readers like you :)

@shadowless_night - thank you so so much for bringing this to my attention. I can't believe someone would do something like this! I just took a look at it on their page, and it's literally my work. I'm going to report it and ask my followers to do so as well. I'm in disbelief that someone would stoop so low as to do something like this :( Thank you again! I truly appreciated it.

          Hello sweetheart❤️
          I profusely appreciate you taking the time to write an elaborate response. I'm feeling privileged.❤️
          I understand Selina it must be really taxing for you to juggle your job, classes, and hospital work.
          I applaud how you are cruising through life's challenges with such diligence and resilience, yet holding onto your passion for writing.
          If only the payment methods were working in my country and currency difference wasn't much here, I would have asked you to monetize your stories and willingly paid for them.
          However, I'd really like to suggest you something that might interest you.
          There are a lot of authors here on Wattpad and Inkitt,  who post in advance on their Patreons before they publish the chapters on these platforms. They urge the readers to read the new chapter beforehand by going and subscribing on Patreon in as little as $4.99.
          What you could do is not post an entire chapter of your stories.
          Like publish a carefully edited version, and then exhort your readers to go on Patreon to read the full, unedited version if they are interested.
          You can tell them that 5 dollars might not make a difference to them, but it'll be of significant help to you in going about your life comfortably.

Hey Selina
          How are you doing lady?
          I don't know why, but I have been having an inkling for a while that you hit that writer's block again, which you often complained about in the past as well.
          You know I have been an avid fan of your writing and storytelling for a veryyyy long time. The memory is still fresh in my mind when I used to read Rivals on Inkitt and fret about not getting frequent updates.
          Besides me, the sizeable chunk of the followers you have here on Wattpad and the plenty of love we all have given to your books, it all stands as a testament to your being a laudable writer.
          You know when you get affected by a few disparaging comments, it eclipses the love of the other readers, who have done nothing but commend your work all along.
          Please pull yourself together and get back here ASAP.
          Connect with us again.
          Pour out your heart to us, and I guarantee you that you'll feel considerably lighter than usual and less distressed.
          Even if you are not grappling with the writer's block, at least inform us that you are on a break and will resume writing soon.
          Kindly tell us that you're doing fine❤️❤️❤️

@Dreya60 Hi Dreya, thank you so much for your kind words.
            
            Before I start, I just want you to know that I truly appreciate you, and all of my readers. It’s difficult for me to believe that my stories would be something memorable to anyone, yet you’re still here, and waiting. For that, I thank you. I didn’t neglect or have forgotten my readers nor my stories. I’ve been meaning to come on here to give context on my absence, but I never managed to do it; partially because I didn’t think anyone would care enough to miss me or my stories. I didn’t abandon my stories, nor do I plan on stopping writing. I don’t have writer's block at the moment. As strange as it may be, everyday I’m starting to feel like my characters are calling to me to continue their story (The Fallen Sword Of Rome). Unfortunately, I’ve started a new endeavor in my life that keeps me away (If only I could make money from writing, life would be much easier).
            
            Not only do I work five days a week, I’ve recently started nursing school in December last year, and I’m currently on hospital rotation. When I’m done with everything (work, classes, hospital) I end up being too tired to do anything. And when I do have spare time, I end up not wanting to do anything. It hurts me not to write, and I’m starting to feel like I’ve lost the spark, BUT I don’t plan on ever stopping because I feel like that’s one of the only things that truly makes me happy, and that’s the only thing that I’ve got that makes me, me.
            
            As for updates, I have a fan-fiction that I’ve been slowly writing since last month on AO3, with one chapter remaining. I intend on completing that this weekend, and re-read The Fallen Sword Of Rome before outlining and continuing with that story. As for Asmodean, I have the entire story outlined, but won’t be posting it until I’ve completed my ongoing stories.
            
            Thank you for still showing interest and your patience; it truly means a lot to me. XOXOX

Hey Selina, hope you're doing good:)
          Ok, so there is that one thought that crosses my mind every now and then, and I tell myself to ask you whenever I'd open up Wattpad again, but whenever I'm reading on Wattpad, it skips my mind.
          Fortunately, right now I'm reading here and suddenly it struck me that I needed to ask you something:)
          There was once this story in your works, whose name I can't exactly recall at the moment.
          I thinkkkkk it was Asmodeus or Asmodean, or something close to it.
          At the time, you had only mentioned its excerpt, and said that you'd work on it in the future.
          Then it disappeared from your profile.
          I think I had asked you this same question in the past as well, but can't vividly remember what your response to that was.
          If you remember your this story, kindly do lemme know what became of it.
          It's plot was something similar to that:
          Asmodeus was banished from heaven by God. He then ruled the hell (I hope I'm recalling it right) and found a mate. But then a war erupted between heaven and hell, and Asmodeus beat the God's favorite angel and warrior and took him as his captive

Hii! can I ask if the Ruthless Desires Series is connected to each other? Since there are some books I’m not really interested in reading, but there are others that I am. If I skip a few, will it affect the storyline?

vanillagalaxiez

@berryntss hi! They're all standalone :) You don't have to read the ones you don't like, nor do you have to read any I'm order.
