Yes, yes another rant.
Before I start, the reason I haven't posted is because there's a lot going on in my life right now and I can't find the words. Sorry.
Now.
It has come to my attention that another person has copied my story. Word for word in some places. And the list goes on about what other similarities there are. I am so SICK of people stealing my ideas.
What now? I've already posted Claimers on my chapters. Do I need to write DON'T EFFING STEAL THIS every five lines, too?
Can you guys please be freaking original AND NOT STEAL MY IDEAS?!
Do you realize what that is? It's called plagiarism. It's a crime.
Now dammit. Stop this. Okay? I'm not playing Little Miss Nice Girl anymore. Because this has happened about 4 times now.
They haven't been as bad as this though. This is down right maddening.
So AddictedToEdward, come out, come out wherever you are and use your own DAMNED ideas. Mkay?
Did anyone else notice that her penname is paraphrasing mine (EdwardAddict)? I just randomly noticed that.
Okay. So. ATE, if you do not delete that story, I will report you.
And yes, I seem very bitchy. But you know what? You would be too if four, count 'em FOUR, people have copied your idea. So. Excuse me.
And yes, I will update soon. I have the next chapter partly written.
Now. Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Okay. I PMed that person last night. Apparently they decided not to be reported. They changed their penname and deleted the story. And of course PMed me telling me how stupid I was and how much of a bitch I am because I got pissed they stole my story. -rolls eyes-
But really. I'm sick and tired of this. Some of you have said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and that it's such a good idea, others want to use it.
Personally, I think it's just lame. Now. To those of you who think I overreacted, put yourself in my shoes. I come home from a stress-filled day at school to find someone plagerising my work. Now. Do you still think I overreacted? I thought not.
Hopefully, the update will be coming soon. So just hang tight a little longer.
