** DO NOT STEAL MY WORK **

It seems like I have to say this yet again, someone stole my book. This book to be exact. And they did it word for word, they just changed the faceclaim and name.

DO. NOT. STEAL. MY. BOOKS!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you need help with making a book, coming up with ideas, names, supernatural creatures, covers, etc... I am more than happy to help you if you ask me. If you liked something from one of my books that is my original idea, you can ASK me if you can use it.

But do not copy my hard work and especially don't copy it word for word. Dont act like you changing the faceclaim and name means you're not copying someone else's work.

They have taken it down to my knowledge but I'm still gonna show you guys just how much of a copy it was. I don't mean to rude or give off private messages but they did try to say that their friend gave them screenshots of my book saying it was their idea and the author didn't know it was stolen.

But because they've taken it down and didn't try to fight me on it like the last person, I'm not gonna say their account. I would like to avoid making drama, I want my account to be drama free. The only drama I want here is the drama I write in my books. But I am gonna show examples of how it was a copy. (They only had one chapter

Here are bits of their chapter to show that it was an exact copy -

Basically word for word, just paragraphs are broken up, the name is changed and the faceclaim is different. But if what they told me was the truth, it's not entirely their fault. But I would advise to anyone and everyone don't use full ideas that other people give you, especially if they're screenshot of a written storyline. It would absolutely suck for someone to knowingly or unknowingly take someone's work who doesnt have very many readers.

I have a lot of readers that I'm very very thankful for but it also just means that I'm lucky that I have so many people who will notice of one of my books are stolen. Other authors don't have that and so they wouldnt know if their book gets stolen and potentially getting more traction.

But anyways, I work hard on my books. I know some people might not say I do because I have said that I do copy and paste parts from MY other books, but that's only to help me write the chapters faster for you guys because I do have a lot of story plans that I really want to be able to do and I know others want me to do them.

I'm not being paid for these books, writing is my hobbies that I want to do more seriously in the future. I write these books because people enjoy them. I write them on my own time, I take months to write them so it really fucking sucks to see someone else take them.

But like I said, the person was nice about it. They took it down pretty quickly, they didnt fight me on it or block me like the person who stole my Jordan Parrish book did. I have no idea if they were telling the truth about someone else giving them my book for them to copy.

But for the people who steal people's book, knowing damn well that they're stealing as if no one's gonna know- it's not that hard to just not steal someone else's work. I'm more than happy to help someone if they need it, with literally anything even making book covers.

That shit is fucked up and it's not okay. So I'll say it one more time and hopefully it's the last time I have to say it.

DO NOT STEAL MY WORK!
