First I would like to say that if anyone feels that I have copied their story, please tell me via review now. I cannot turn on PM for personal reasons that really shouldn't matter to anyone. That's my choice.
To the person that reviewed 6 times to accuse me of plagiarism. I'm not going to get in a rage over this, though I want to. I just want you to know that I am hurt and offended that you would accuse me of plagiarism. I can solemnly swear that it isn't true. It isn't nice being accused of something untrue isn't nice. I have not copied any other author's work.
To anyone who might believe that this story has been 'stolen' from some other author.
Firstly, because as any author knows, plagiarism is wrong, and is horrible for those whose story has been ripped off.
Second- I can't even find the existence of 2 authors that I have supposedly 'stolen from', and the other has no story that I have found that relates to my own.
Third- This story 'Next Generation- Change' is based off my own life. 'Anya' is me, 'Sophia' is my friend V, 'Marina' is my friend N, and 'Lily' is my friend M. 'Aleks' is based on a guy called 'A', and our relationship is very similar to what is described in the story.
I didn't want to have to say this, since it should be irrelevant that this story is based off my own life story, but there it is. Due to this false allegation, I have been forced to reveal this.
Fourth- I know that there are several 'next generation' stories out there surrounding Rose and Dimitri's child/ren, but this does not mean I am copying them. In a fandom this size, it is bound to happen. Just like there are hundreds of 'reading the books', 'Dimitri leaves Rose for Tasha' and 'alternate ending to Shadow Kiss' stories.
Accusing someone of plagiarism is very damaging to an author's reputation, and in the past I have felt sorry for those I have seen accused of this.
To my loyal readers- please do not believe these claims that I am a fraud. It hurts me that my stories- my escape when the world feels like it is falling in around me- are being targeted.
If you have any concerns that I have taken any story ideas from other author or even yourself, please leave a review and I will reply. However, I am confident that nobody will have any issues. If there is ANY similarity at all between my story and somebody else's, I can assure you all that it is purely coincidental. Tell me and I will resolve any issues the best I can.
I am sorry for any confusion or hurt that this has caused anyone. I can assure you that I am feeling that way personally. I pride myself on my integrity, morals and honesty in life, and this false allegation is breaking all of those personal values I hold for myself.
Loyal readers, please support me in this. I am worried that this might become more serious, and that my place in this community of fellow writers is at risk. After all- we have all been brought here by our love for this series and the characters within it. I would never insult another author, or the characters, or Richelle Mead by breaking any rules or taking away something that other authors have slaved over and loved. I love my stories dearly, and they truly are a part of me. I would never try to take that away from somebody else.
Thank you for reading this. ~ Dimitri's . Smexi . Shewolf
