Dear Readers,

I have been wrongly accused of stealing/plagarizing this story.

These accusations are false and I ask that you read this before you judge. Thank you.

First of all, I would like to state that I am not here to cause trouble or make accustions, but FanFiction is my domain. I've been on this site for 7 years and I will not stand by and let my story be attacked.

There is a role play group on Twitter called Secret IDs. Some of the members there are the ones that have accused me. I wish to make it clear that I am not attacking Secret IDs. They, as a whole, cannot be held responsible for the actions of a few members.

My story is also very different from theirs- very different. To prove it, I will give you a summary of their story, but first I must point a few things out.

1. This is FanFiction, which means our ideas are derived from another source.

2. People come up with similar stories all the time. I've seen many reviews where somebody stated that they had a similar idea and I have also read stories with ideas similar to mine, most of which I haven't shared.

For example, threadingneedles wrote a story about a birthday party for Artemis at the Cave. Now did I flip out and accuse her of plagarism? Absolutely not. In fact, I just asked her permission to use her as an example. Her story was very different from my Sweet 16 story.

I've had the idea for my story before I read the role play and even made a comment to them after I read it. Therefore, to help prove my case, here's the summary to their role play. Judge for yourself what the differences are.

Zatanna and Dick (she doesnt know he's Robin) are at the Wayne Manor watching a movie with some friends. I fail remember what the movie was but it wasnt Tangled.

There are your first three differences.

Everyone falls asleep except for Dick and Zatanna does cast a spell in her sleep. The spell is "No movement", which paralyzes him. When she wakes, she fixes it and erases his memory so he doesn't know about her powers. At the end, Dick breaks up with her because he's really in love with Wally. That's the summary to the best of my memory.

As you can see, my story has a different plot, mood, outcome, setting... And, well, the only things that are the same are the two main characters and Zatanna casting a spell in her sleep. Because of this, I have been attacked on both my own story and Twitter. I have also been forbidden from interacting with them and blocked. I have been wrongly accused of plagarism and stealing. I am merely here to defend my story. After this, I won't need to deal with it anymore.

So, dear readers please tell me:

What is your judgement?

Thank you KTrevo for betaing this.

A Sidenote from KTrevo:

I know for a fact that music lover BWG did not plagiarise her story. I remember her telling me about that idea and asking me to beta for her months before any of this mess was even a shadow in any Deity's subconscious.

What I don't get is why- why are you people still pestering her about it? Why are her stories getting reported for stealing? Why is she being falsely accused?

Are you people like this in real life? I'm not trying to judge, but you're making it incredibly hard to believe that you're good people. I know that it isn't the whole role play group, and I'm not talking to everyone in the Secret IDs RP, but to those few who started this... You don't particularly want to me to finish that sentence.

And, yeah, I'm only thirteen, but I've got a fairly decent idea of right and wrong- this whole thing is W-R-O-N-G. Believe me. I may not have been on FanFiction for very long, but this whole mess is exactly why I don't take part in any role plays.

This is also why I agreed to beta this letter for BWG. I'm her friend (virtually), and I don't think she should be going through this pointless back-and-forth war.

So. Who's up for a truce? Or even a ceasefire? Let's all work towards what all superheroes go for-

Peace.

-Gwyn.
