I have received a few comments on a similar story to mine out there, but today someone was nice enough to send me a link. I read that as my story was posted in the 19th I think, someone liked it enough to copy and edit a bunch of it and rename it Brown Eyed Girl, which was published on the 26th. Not only does it upset me that someone has stolen my words and idea, it just upsets me in general.
I have blocked the author from my site. I don't know what good it will do. I was at least expecting, that if someone was going to copy my work they do it word for word or do it better, neither was the case. I put a lot of effort into my stories. This one has been one of my favorites since I wrote the initial pretense years ago. I hate that someone else can't take the time to come up with, their own ideas and have to steal from someone else.
I do hope everyone continues to enjoy my story. I will not stop writing it because of this. I am enjoying it too much. I hope everyone continues to enjoy it as well and just know there is a copy floating around. You can read it and tell it's not mine. I am not going to bash anyone because I know everyone who writes here does it for the passion of writing. A beautiful Lie is my story. I don't go by any other name, I lay out my passion in each piece I write, as best as I can. I'm no English major. I make mistakes (Even if I am anal and try to reread 50 times for errors). I do it for the love or writing and reading.
I don't know what else to say about the topic.
Thank you so much for letting me know (wink to a certain person). Thanks for reading! I'll have to write even better now to blow it out of the water ;)
