This is a much needed thread. If you (the readers) come across work which you know for sure is stolen, expose the thief immediately! Post a comment and tell the other readers what you know, then inform the original writer via PM, as well as a moderator. Stolen work is not fair to the original writer OR the people who read it.

Sadly, stealing is common, and it is not often that people come across their work which has been stolen, except when a reader informs them, so I strongly encourage readers to be more pro-active and help shut the thief down. If these people realize that they're not going to be let off scot free, then they may change their IDs or whatever, and turn up somewhere else, BUT a writer who put a lot of hard work in some piece, will become more aware, and so will other readers.

If you're a writer with a blog, copyright your work. There are lots of free copyright sites available online which work.

And, if you're a thief with no imagination or skill, but a constant craving for appreciation, buy yourself a puppy.

Seems like it...more or less.

I am right now checking if she has read any of my work. I feel horrible saying and doing this but she has left me with no option.

These people who copy some other's works don't realize how much effort and hard work we put behind it. For example, I actually spend around 4-5 hours only to come up with a new idea. And then another 3-4 hours to type it down.

And I even stop myself from reading many FF's fearing that I may unintentionally subconsciously get ideas from their FFs.

I really don't get it. Don't these people feel guilty after doing such a thing. If I was in their place, I would definitely die of guilt. Taking credit for someone else's hard work is the biggest crime you can ever commit.

seriously i agree vid with you ...

its simply disgusting though i m not into writing much but those who
plagiarize i personally feel sorry for those people out there...

Yuckkk, I feel horrible right now, I've been liking her work and commenting on it, I've been one of the readers encouraging her to update work faster. But the work isn't even hers!! 🤢

Same here! I havent read all but I have read and commented on some. I feel so bad. :s :/

And now I am feeling apprehensive about the writers she reads here...because I am a fan and friend of some of them and I will feel terrible if their hard work got stolen!

And the others too who I dont read and dont know.
