Losing Cinderella (Completed but on hold)

On Plagiarism: A Message to the person who tried to steal this story AGAIN

I am astounded by YannisWritings' audacity in her attempt to repost this story as hers on Fanfiction.com. Just because you have rephrased the synopsis and changed the characters' names to make it look like a High School Musical fanfic, doesn't mean it's okay.

Thank goodness that you have taken it down. However, this is a display of a desperate attempt to gain something on my account. Obviously, this is also a clear display of a lack of remorse--or non-existent is more like it--on your part with regards to your wrongdoing.

I have also noticed that you have taken out YannisWritings from your profile description. Is this to cover your tracks so no one can find you? The world is small. If you wish to offend anyone, never offend a writer. You should know by now, that writers are very resourceful people. I am not alone. As I said in the previous rant--I already found you.

I would admit that I am frustrated and rather furious about being violated in this form. However, I choose to be above the line and try to understand where you're coming from. My question is, why are you in such a rush to produce something? I have read your story, let's just pray that this is actually your original work. If it is, you already have the potential to produce a story of great quality. It is a long process, I have to admit. "Losing Cinderella" was conceptualised at least 10 years ago. This was uploaded on Wattpad in 2012. It has only been in the last 3-5 months that it has picked up on reads/votes/follows. Don't be in a rush. If you are, then I would suggest a great deal of time management. If anyone wants to produce 200,000 words in 30 days--I can tell you that you can do that in 14. Time management + focus + patience.

Again, I will ask, why are you in such a rush? There are two types of plagiarists, in my view. One is probably either isolated or is underachieving. Maybe there's a need to deliver something they think is exemplary to gain validation of their worth. The other one is the achiever. People have high expectations fom them. Therefore, there is the need to deliver something exemplary to meet or exceed people's expectations. Which one are you?

Thank you for thinking that my work is of that high quality, but to violate my rights in the form of plagiarism, then it must not be deserving of your respect. It is worthless.

Though I am not pleased with your actions, again--I will remain above the line. I have not exposed who you are here on Wattpad, though there may be people who have already figured that out. I am not your enemy. If I were, I wouldn't be reaching out to you. I appreciate that you've taken down the second attempt, however, seeing that you're revising and changing names, I wouldn't be surprised to see a third attempt. In cases like that, I've already prepared myself. Don't be alarmed if you hear something in 3-14 days. You are best to get in touch with me to sort this out.
