Don’t know why I haven’t addressed this already but as some of you may have noticed some of the stories on my account are gone. That’s cause the original author reached out to me and said that they didn’t want me to repost their stories. I removed them the instant I saw their message. Just a lil’ FYI for y’all.

You're in the business of reposting other peoples works without notifying them or getting consent- as seen in a comment below. That's going to set the tone of my message just to let  you know. 
          
          I'm in the business of notifying them that things like this have happened- just to get that out into the open. I'm also in the business of informing people that do this that they are acting in direct violation of Wattpad's Copyright Violation, and Copyright in general since even though the authors you are copying and pasting from are just fanfic writers they have a legal right to all original elements they bring to a story/transformative work.
          
          I'll end this with part of Wattpad's own policies- I have authors to notify after all.
          
          "Wattpad encourages all storytellers to express their creativity and imagination through original stories. We do not allow any copyright infringement or pirated material on the platform and will remove any works that we discover to have been published illegally. While some users may not be aware of copyright law, we do our best to educate and inform our community while building an engaging audience for all writers.
          
          What is a copyright infringement? 
           
          Posting the copyrighted works of others without their legal consent
          
          Posting on behalf of an author and giving credit to them. This is still a violation of copyright and will be treated the same way. Consent is ALWAYS required from the author."

Just saw the new upgrade to wattpad. I. Hate. It. Now you need to pay to have stories offline! I’m in mobile and it’s usually wattpad I read when I’m traveling and now I need to pay to be able to read more than three. I won’t pay and I hope no one else does so wattpad can see what an idiotic decision that was.

Dark Repercussions was the best Harry Potter fanfic I have ever read! Thank you so much for sharing that amazing masterpiece! I probably would never have read it if you hadn't shared it on Wattpad. I love it so much! It had the perfect amount of darkness, humour, and naughty things in it! So thank you villeggg!
