Wattpad
Ok, so, hopefully this is the last time I will have to address this whole situation.
1. I reinstalled Wattpad and my old account from 2015. I am doing so in hoping that I can claim authenticity for my writings and clear up any confusion, etc. Here is the link to my account (same name as my tumblr):
https://www.wattpad.com/user/chasing-classics
2. I’m still very upset that I’ve had to do this, I’m annoyed and hurt and angry at those who stole my work and having to have found out from others that my work was circulating on other websites behind my back. Most of all, I’m upset that a total stranger got credit for writings that I really worked hard to create. THAT SAID, please do not attack them. If there are more accounts, message me privately, but please do not cyberbully anyone. Nobody deserves to be attacked in that way, even if plagiarism is involved. Report their accounts, comment my Tumblr or Wattpad on the stolen fics to prove plagiarism took place, or I will handle it myself in a delicate/civil matter. DO NOT attack anyone via internet or otherwise. As an author and human being, I do not condone bullying of any sorts.
3. I have contacted most of the other authors (those who I could identify and locate). As of right now I have not heard back from them, but I will let them handle the situation themselves in whatever way they think is right.
4. I hope to come back to writing when I am inspired to do so. I’m not a machine, I cannot just whip up an amazing fic and click ‘’post.’’ I will not message individuals the unreleased chapters to my fics because it is not fair to the rest of my followers/readers. When I do decide to come back to writing, it’ll be great and it’ll be on my terms. Authors are not just the screens you look at while reading our work. We’re human beings with real lives, who get burnt out or sad sometimes and might need to take a break every now and then. Please respect my decision and I look forward to coming back when the time is ready. Thank you, love you.
