Hear me out, please. 
          
          I read a lot of stories on wattpad. And i can tell if the stories are yours or not. ADAPTING IS AN OKAY. But please mention the origin of your work,where the inspiration came from. 
          
          Let me define Plagiarism. The essence of plagiarism is to give the impression that the ideas or words of another person are actually your own. 
          
          It's not right.
          
          I believe Plagiarism is a sin. Not only stealing, it is deceiving others as well.
          
          Your act of taking someone else's work or ideas and presenting them as your own is a crime. You disrespect the brain of those good writers/authors and their works.
          
          Please don't do that.
          Please mention WHO inspired you to write, name the names.
          What are the original books.
          Where people can find the books.
          
          By mentioning their names you show your readers how you respect those great authors and their works, it won't change how your readers's perspectives about your works. THEY WILL LOVE YOU AS YOU ARE, just be honest.
          I have a great example to show you. She is Raian8, she clearly stated she is adapting the Seven Days story, she was inspired by the series too. 
          Now look at her, she reached HUNDRED CHAPTERS in her SEVEN WEEKS book and her readers loved her and her Seven Weeks so much. (It's an outstanding book, you probably should check it out, find it in my reading list =) i'm not promoting her, she doesn't even know me, i am just giving a good example)
          
          Don't disrespect other's brains by claiming those as your own. Please. Put a note inside your book, be honest, be good, stay awesome.
          
          If you have read this far, you are a good soul.
          I wish you all the best.
          
          Thank you

Aw, thank you! I am a huge fan of fan fiction, it’s where I got my start with writing and as an author of some original work too I can say that for me it’s like the highest form of flattery, to inspire someone so much that they want to write their own take on the world and characters you’ve created. However, you’re exactly right, fanfic and plagiarism are distinctly different things. One is a celebration of the original work, while the other is the ultimate disrespect. So thank you for sharing this message ❤️

@NotMidorin @danthomas880 never let anyone claimed what's yours. Translate/Rewrite/adapt must state the origin. Clearly
