Hey, everyone. So, I know that this is against the site's policy and all, but I just want to make something perfectly clear.
I DID NOT STEAL ANY IDEAS OR ELEMENTS FOR THIS STORY!
Everything I write is completely all my own. Always. I never copy and if I ever do draw inspiration (which is unavoidable as a writer), I make it painfully vague because I do not plagiarize.
The writer in question suggested that I "copied" lines and then "reworded" them. This is absolutely NOT the case. I have been an author on this site for nearly four years and have published over eighty stories. Does anyone honestly believe that I would copy the words of another author?
I do admit, I did read said author's story before I published this one. But at the time, this story was already formulated in my head and being written. By the time that it was published, I had already forgotten all about the story and was focusing on this one. I did not, under any circumstances, copy anyone else's work.
I just wanted to get this out there in case any of you legitimately thought I did copy this person's work. Please understand that this is something I would never, ever do.
Love you all,
~Rose
