My dear Wattpad Fam, thank you for the never-ending love you show Avery's story. My story "Before It's Too Late" has reached 805K+ reads and is still counting.  And to my 1K+ followers, you guys rock! 
          	This gratitude post would not be complete without mentioning my amazing angels, who informed me of all the sites/apps that published my story without my knowledge and consent. I'm happy to inform you that the sites/apps I contacted regarding the copyright issue have removed my story from their servers. (Hopefully, they won't republish with a different cover and title—fingers crossed!)
          	Lastly, I'm sorry for not updating "Unbreakable." I am focusing on prepping "Before It's Too Late" for something greater. Very soon, I will share more great news with all of you! ❤️❤️❤️

Guys  like Ficworld another reading app Fancy Novel is also publishing and earning from our stories without our knowledge and consent. The people behind these apps are getting bolder because they publish stories without the author's names and are earning from them. And since these apps are in Apple store and Google it gives the impression that they are legit. Please check if your stories are in these apps and let us bombard them with emails demanding the removal of our stories.

@Anu_mani, there are multiple of them: Ficworld, Fantasy Novel, Novel World, and FicFun.- which is connected to Dreame. The last one has an X account. It seemed they were run by the same group or people who have the same connections. It’s so frustrating. Since it’s outside WP we are on our own when if we don't publish our stories here they don't have a way of getting to our stories.

@EastCoastPinay thanks for alerting. Also it turns out there are two apps by the same name, Ficworld. One run from India the other elsewhere. I haven't explored further.

Hi guys! I learned from a concerned reader that my story “Before It’s Too Late” was published in Ficword. If you remember, we had the same issue with another site, which reasoned with “shadow publishing,” which we never really know how and why. But the worst about Ficword is that the author’s name was removed, and readers were charged to read per chapter. I urge you to check if your story is published without your knowledge and consent, too. If yes, you can email the site regarding copyright issues. I emailed them and asked them to remove my story from their site. If we all appeal, it might make them realize that a more extensive group is behind all these “shadowings” taking advantage of our stories.

@EastCoastPinay i hope they can do something! Ugh they sound awful. I’ve told them I can prove the story is mine with screenshots of my word documents. It’s so annoying they’re making money off us without consent.

@MiniMoxx so frustrating! I also e-mailed WP about the issue. Ficworld answered my email saying they would discuss with their partner the copyright issue on my story. I replied telling them to remove my story ASAP. It seemed like the same people as before.
