Please read this.
It has been brought to my attention that someone (I'm not going to name names, but they know I know now) stole my first chapter of Boyfriend Number 2 and used it in her youtube series. I went to watch it and it was literally the same. exact. words. She didn't even change the time I used on the alarm clock; the only thing that changed was it was Selena instead of Miley and her parents coming home instead of Jake. She even added the author's note I put in the end about senior year being hard and me being top 10% of my class.
Really.
Really?
Do you really lack that much of an imagination that you can't write something of your own and have to steal something from someone else?
I'm my own biggest critic, and I hate mostly everything I do. The fact that someone would steal a chapter from me is just mindblowing...well it's not that big of a deal but it take me a while to write a chapter for a story.
To me, this is the equivalent of someone in midtrack turning in my turn paper and getting a 100 on it, yet in honors I get a 75.
Did you not get the analogy? I'm calling you story dumb for doing this.
People in the comments actually noticed that they read it on fanfiction.
Really?
I just commented on the video today, but I've known about it because I (think) I finally got over it.
Sorry if I got anyone excited about seeing an update and it not being a chapter, but I really just had to say this: If you can't be original, just quit now. Cheating never gets you anywhere in life, and it'll come back to bite you in the ass.
This really pissed me off when I found out, and it's why I haven't updated since my last update. (I just updated Tension yesterday, fyi)
The fact that I now know am going to have to ask people before every chapter to not steal my work is annoying because I've lost a little trust in the readers, and i want to trust you guys. Call me cynical, but that's what it came down to.
So I'm sorry to you guys who were innocent in this and haven't had a video update just because one person screwed up. In reality, that's all it takes.
And I'm sorry that I have to apologize for someone who's immature.
By the way, if anyone knows who did this: don't bring attention to her, don't comment something on her…no...my video (I already took care of that:p), or whatever. I'm over it.
Just please don't do it again.
