Due to recent developments I will no longer be posting my stories to this site.
I have had several people review the previous chapter 7 I posted earlier and accuse me of plagerizing a chapter from jennamajig's story 'Shoelaces', which I assure everyone was not the case. I understand how people can think I may have stolen from jennamajig's story but I assure everyone that was not the case, before today I have never read the story 'Shoelaces'. Yes I was shocked at how very, very much a like they were but I promise I did not plagerize, I wrote my chapter using elements that happened from when I broke my arm and from when my cousin broke his arm. I admit it is quite freaky at how close the two are.
Plagerizing is one of the worst things that can happen to a writer and I understand how others may feel thinking that I plagerized, I would be angry as well if someone did that to me.
Since jennamajig had the decency (un-like everyone else) to E-mail me directly about the issue instead of sending it as a review and kindly ask that I remove the chapter I have done so out of respect for a fellow writer.
If that were the only issue I would have no problem continuing to post here, but since everyone else felt the need to leave their accusations in reviews instead of E-mailing me directly I feel that I can no longer in good faith continue posting my stories here. I understand people may have been upset but the (in my opinion any way) better way of handling it would have been to ask me directly instead of leaving a review that others may read and then decide they don't want to read the whole story because of a review for one chapter.
So as I said before I feel that I can no longer in good faith continue posting my stories here. I say this because I fear that from now on those who reviewed before will hound any of my future work making similar accusations if I even so much as use a similar idea that somebody else has. Now that may not be true but I am unwilling to take the chance, because several things that were said hurt me deeply and I don't want to go through this again. Some of you may not believe any of what I have said and as much as that hurts me I KNOW I'M TELLING THE TRUTH. If you don't believe me that's your problem, not mine, so deal with it.
I apologize to those readers of you out there that enjoyed reading my stories and were looking forward to reading more, but because of the way I have been treated no more of my work will be posted on this site.
