To my dear Readers,
I have written several fanfiction stories for some time now. Through and through I've kept my stories original and purely from my own imagination. I put my passion into every story and every chapter I write And all I wish for return is that people would enjoy my stories and if ever, give them the inspiration that I, myself, found while reading others' works.
You may have been wondering why I posted this author's note instead of a new chapter. It has come to my attention that there is another author who I believe has been copying and reposting my story, "After 5 Years." Plagiarism.
Up until now, I was under the impression that I completely knew what plagiarism is. But now do I realize my mistake. Now do I realize what it meant for an author to have his or her literary work be copied by another without his or her consent. It is disappointing that I have to fully experience this Situation just to understand and it pains me that this author would do such a thing. Such An unprofessional way of giving out literary works especially in a public way such as the Internet.
It is very discouraging to know such an event while writing a story especially updating it. For currently, I feel as though if I update my story this other author will continue to copy and repost this in his or her story. I do not wish to give him/her the opportunity to do something that is entirely wrong.
I am terribly sorry for those innocent readers that are so much enthusiastic about my next update. I can assure you that I've never meant for any of this to happen. And I would just like to add that my promise still stands. This story will be continued. Please bear with me and be patient while I gather myself from this incident.
And to the other author who is copying my story, I am disappointed in you. I know you are new to writing but it is never right to copy from others' works and claiming them for your own No matter the reason. It is never too late to start over and from there, write your very own story where you will create your own world. It is a wonderful feeling wherein you feel as though you are the master of your own world and as a fellow author I want to experience that. Not to be confined and restrained by the work of others. Everyone has their talents and I'm sure you, as another author, have yours. Please understand. I am not angry, disappointed yes. I believe there's more to you than plagiarism.
Thank you everyone. Pls be patient with me.
