Important A/N
Attention readers. I recently have been approached with a subject that I irresponsibly neglected to bring up during the course of this story. Some of you already know, but I received a review of anger pertaining to the plot use.
As you all know, or should know, the plot of this story belongs to the one and only Fallen-Shoulder. To be honest, I practically don't own anything except for the extra characters I made up to flow with the rest of my story. If you didn't know already, the main plot of this story, which is, Haruka is in a war, meets the doctor Michiru, has a town activity, goes back to war, etc, is copied from Fallen-Soldier's story called 'MIA'.
I know a lot of people are angry at me, and you have the right to be. I should not have used the plot, and I should not have copied the story. I understand that you all are holding spite against me, and I understand that you are all fans of 'MIA'. I accept the fact that I've done something wrong and am willing to also accept whatever consequences that my actions have wrought.
I wrote this story because, like many people on this site, I was waiting for the story I liked to update. Most people are passive and wait it out, but me, I'm different. After a few weeks of waiting for it to update, my blood just started stirring some things out. In my mind I saw things that could happen in the future of that story, and things that couldn't. I played out each scenario and my mind only continued racing. Now, like many authors, I got my ideas down in writing, and while I was at it, I posted is as well to share my thoughts.
As I did this, I thought nothing of asking for permission from the person who owned this idea. My imagination, and my carelessness, got the best of me. I ended up doing something wrong and in turn, I made many people angry towards me. I'm sorry. I apologize deeply if any of you were offended and I continue to apologize as my chapters progress. I have nothing but respect for Fallen-Soldier and her writing. I was completely careless and should have addressed this issue earlier. My deepest apologies to everyone.
Recently, I've PMd Fallen-Soldier herself, of course expressing my apologies, explanations, and complete understanding if she would want me to take down my story. She answered back and said that yes, she was angry at me at first, but no, she does not think my story should go down. But still, there's a feeling in the pit of my stomach that just makes me feel terrible and so I have created these notes.
In these notes, I ask readers and non-readers alike what my next action should be. Some are angry at me, and some are fine with it. But, I still feel like since it's for the readers, or not, people should be able to say what they feel and they should be able to choose what they read.
In short, the main point of this Author Note is to ask:
SHOULD THIS STORY BE TAKEN DOWN?
I would appreciate it if everyone voiced their thoughts. I realize what I did was wrong and am willing to let go of this story if people wish me to. Again, I express my deepest apologies and wish all authors on this site the best of luck. Thank you.
ADD IN: Thank you to everyone. So far, the majority has shown their support to me and I honestly feel grateful for those people. So, with this outcome, though some of you are still angry at me, I will continue with my plan to release the next chapter during christmas. But, please feel free to voice your concerns and I will take into account the people who want me to take it down. If enough people ask me, then yes, I will take it down. Thank you to everyone, and happy holidays.
