I just realised I haven't said this here, so:
          
          Thank you for all your support these years. Because you guys exist, I force myself to pull through with my fics, to finish because there's an audience waiting for me. You don't even know how many I've lost to my trash because I thought no one would read them and there was no purpose in keeping them, and now's the time where I kind of regret it because I want to study my writing style across time and understand what it was like and how different it is now. (In case it was not obvious, I have changed from past tense to present tense now most of the time, and have adapted to multiple focuses in a third person perspective.)
          
          I'm sorry to announce that I'm now slowly losing to my drab and dreary world, that it takes me more effort than the past to create content. It also makes me deeply conflicted, as my experience on Wattpad is not really as I remembered it in the past. I have migrated to AO3 now, most of my fics are there. I would just like to formally address that my latest fics will likely all be there and I will likely NOT update new content on Wattpad other than what is currently existing here. I hope you guys will continue to support me on AO3, I'm just a small author but one day I hope to be seen. 
          
          Your aspiring dear author, still making Maleficent fanfics that just seem to get sadder (and better) with each one, I love y'all, and peace out ✌︎

So uh lately I've been facing some sort of an issue? There's this whole chain of different people taking turns to post links as comments, which from the html is obviously a highly inappropriate website. And this happened to not only one book, but almost ALL of my books, and all different accounts. And just so you know, the links include nak*d spelled in various ways. 
          
          I've tried reporting one of them, but Wattpad seriously has to step up their game, because the response was that they couldn't do anything as it did not directly violate anyone directly. I'm pretty pissed because I don't like this, but Wattpad's not doing anything to stop this or prevent this. 
          
          So, anyway, I try to mute the accounts if possible, but if I missed out any, please let me know, please do not visit these websites as I'm not sure where they lead to, but it's surely nowhere...safe? That's it for today, thanks guys <3

I love your Profile Picture so much!!!!

So uhm hi all
          
          I've failed my end of year Math, Chemistry exams so far. Geography was a borderline pass, I haven't gotten back other results but seriously if I fail Biology I'm hundred percent dead. My languages aren't near failing (i hope), but in any case, here's an official invite to my funeral :) 
          
          Jkjk.
          
          Just means I likely will be inactive until this whole thing blows over and fanfic stops getting blamed for my bad grades (I don't study much, think I should have seen this coming?)
          
          But anyway, I'm on hiatus (maybe until mid November or longer)
          
          :)

PT.3 OF EXPLANATION
          
          Please, if you are the one who did this, you have caused me much anxiety and anguish. Thank you for recognising my work, but you really should have said something. This is identity theft. I don't feel comfortable about it, and I hope if you're reading this — because I know for a fact you're stealing off my Wattpad (the books copied are solely wattpad published) — you will be able to take down the works that you've published in my name and delete that account. 
          
          To those who have read this, thank you so very much for your support. Identity theft and plagiarism are really the two worst nightmares of authors, and to be honest I never thought the day would come when this might happen to me. I didn't think I was good enough for people to actually develop the heart to copy my works as they are and even publish it in MY NAME, so to speak. But no. I really must emphasize this. No, I do not like it, this is original Z18M9Malrae speaking, please take it down.
          
          From your very distraught author who's drunk three cups of scalding sour tea in an attempt of trying to calm down,
          Z18M9Malrae ♡︎☆

PT.2 OF EXPLANATION
          
          This is worse than plagiarism. This person, whoever they may be, has stolen my entire identity. And it's not just one chapter plagiarised. The entirety of "...Mother?" up till now, as well as the two oneshot books, have all been reposted exactly as they are on two different websites, as me. I want to report plagiarism, but it's a little ironic. How do you report plagiarism against what supposedly is you??? I'm feeling so lost and desperate, and I have no idea what to do anymore. 
          
          I just want to make it clear here that this is the legitimate Z18M8Malrae account. I only ever posted on AO3 or Wattpad before, and other platforms with my books are DEFINITELY NOT MINE, unless I do wish to expand my publicity, in which I would definitely broadcast it here/AO3 for support. I feel very exposed now, because I'm sharing an identity with someone who thinks that it's fine to just rip my things off of one place and dunk it onto another, and I don't even KNOW who this is.

This is reallly important, I'm just going to say this first:
          
          Guys, please DO NOT repost my works anywhere else. Do not repost it at all. Please.
          
          Okay now to explain why I suddenly have to say this:
          
          PT.1 OF EXPLANATION
          
          I've been inactive lately, trying to work on a fanfic, and just for fun I wondered if I could try using a bot to continue writing "...Mother?" for me, and maybe I'd get a laugh out of it. But the copy pasted segment was too long for Botnik, so I gave up, and just for fun, decided to paste the segment I'd copied into the search bar. 
          
          That's when I realised that something was going on.
          
          I'm not well known, or at least, I don't think I am. But when I copy pasted that chunk, a single search result came out. And there, lo and behold, was a fanfic website I'd never seen before, sporting the exact same words in my fanfic. I was enraged at first, and wanted to come here to rant about someone copying my fic word for word shamelessly. But then, it got worse.
          
          I realised that the author's name is exactly as my author's name here.
          
          Now, this plot twist isn't a joke. I didn't write so much so far just to say "haha just kidding lmao that was my account." No, this is serious. Because the account is my name, indeed, but I NEVER made that account. Someone's pretending to be me, and posting instead of me.
          
          And now I'd like to warn/clarify that it absolutely IS NOT me. 
          
          

Hi I'm your new follower, I am hoping for you to update your book "Mother" beacause I totally love the concept of it.
          If your busy, take your time and I will be waiting.
          
          Hope your okay and stay safe

Guys help me decide - since nowadays I'm not having that serious writing mood for any project, I'm thinking of starting a prompt book, like you guys give me prompts and I write. Because my mind isn't functional enough to generate plots. Accepting anything from Bal, Mevie, Malarry, Maleval, Malefides/Hadeficent, BaiYe, DongFeng, ZheYanBaiZhen, Jelsa, Helsa, Clace, Clary×Sebastian, yeah that's about it. If there's a ship from the Descendants, Maleficent, TMOPB, ELOD, Frozen, Shadowhunters fandims that you'd like me to write, feel free to suggest a ship and PM me as well. Will start when have at least 3 requests. Chapter with your suggestion will be dedicated to you. So...yeah. Thanks y'all

Hey guys, it's me, Z. I've disappeared from the descendants fandom for quite a while, and I went to explore other writing styles in other works. I glad to say I've been revived (sort of), and am also glad to say that I've come back with a new work of mine: "...Mother?" 
          
          It's a book about descendants, and though I haven't decided what the main ship is, there will be Hades×Maleficent, and there should be Bal.
          
          I won't spoil what's in this book, because I hope that when you read its story info, you'll be intrigued enough to read the book. So...please give it a chance, thank you!!!
          
          Z, out ;)
