Aafrah,

I don't know what I am supposed to say or do after reading your story. The storyline, you have written for Aaliyah and Neil is a complete rip off from my story An Order From A Gentleman-Lady, which I had written on both Michi (in Kayamath forum) and Rishabala (in Madhubala forum). In that story, I had Prachi/Madhu believing herself to be a boy and the only person believing the same was her best friend, Milind/RK. It is one thing to be inspired by a story and writing from that, and another thing to take the story and just write it as your own. You have used my whole story as Aaliyah- Neil story. You can't say that it is your story and you didn't know about my story.

Because the parts where

Aaliyah thinks she is a boy and Neil believing the same.

Pragya asking Aaliyah to prove to herself that she is not a girl.

Aaliyah kissing Neil.

Neil confused whether he is gay.

Aaliyah realizing that she is a girl and secretly starts her transformation.

Neil worried and confused about his feelings for Aaliyah. And also worrying about losing his bestfriend to his new found love.

All that have been taken from my story.

People tend to get inspired from a story, and developing a story from that is normal, but to pass off my story as yours is wrong. I feel cheated and hurt when people call your Aaliyah story original, because it is not. And you didn't even care to ask me or credit me for that. Whenever I have been inspired from something and written a story on that, I have made it a point to mention that and give the credit where it is due, and I expect that basic courtesy from others.

It hurts me to see my hard work (I used to stay up all night and write these stories) is being passed off as yours.

Hi Book.worm,

I think the claim you're making is a bit far fretched when you claim I have plagiarised your work - I don't know about Madhubala because I never followed it, but indeed I read your work at the Kayamath Forum quite recently - I know the story you're referring about and I must say yes I like the concept of gender crises that you used - that is all the similarity you will find in this story with yours.

If you will prefer to have it that way, I can make a note acknowledging that your story was an inspiration for moulding Aaliya that way - but thats the best I can offer - your's was a lighter story and the concept is taken to a deeper level at my fiction.

As for all other readers who have read my story and appreciated Neiliya, I would implore you to read the story from the link book.worm provided and see if I have plagiarised anything.

A similar concept has been used in many many stories everywhere, one usually do not acknowledge concept - plus Aaliya is a manly character in this soap - I felt it suited her and developed her character further on it - please read the entire neiliya portion in your free time and we can talk further on this.

And I really like your fiction, hence I can't imagine stealing your work, I have enough imagination to fuel my work thank you.

However, no hard feeling!

Aafrah...

Yes I agree that my story was light hearted and your story is taken further. All I said was that you had rewritten what I had wrote in my story and I still standby that. And you don't have to read both Kayamath and Madhubala version to know that, as I just changed the names and the story is the same.

I have mentioned out what parts they are in my previous post. And like you said "the concept is taken to a deeper level at my fiction." That is what even I am saying. You took my concept. Now if I ever want to repost my story with Abhigya in this forum, I can't because people will think that it is copied from your story.

Similar concepts might have been around, but your imagination and mine can't be the same. So the way that your story went is just like how my story went, and you can't deny that.
