I've had enough.
I take out time from my life to create and write things for all of you on the forums...not to have those things stolen.
I'm a neuroscience student and I still spend hours to make all of you happy. I put so much time and effort into my creations.
Then I find out they're stolen...
Here are a few examples.

First my siggies used to be stolen and posted to Facebook without credit. So I let that go and decided to add my copyright onto the pictures. Then I find out that people are editing over my edits and making my copyright not visible?
Then I found out some of my writing gets posted on sites I didn't give permission to. I know, I can make posts private, but does that stop someone from making an account and stealing my writing? No.
The last thing I had left was my VMs. And I just recently found out that those are being stolen from me too. Just because someone changes the song in the video, it doesn't make it theirs. The time isn't put into pasting a song in the video, it's put into making the video itself with the edits and everything. VMs take the most time. So this really hit home and managed to crack me. I let everything go, including copied siggies and writing...but VMs? That's it.
Enough is enough.
I'm tired of this. I kept letting it go, but I can't take it anymore.
On top of that, I wake up almost everyday to angry PMs from people who are upset with my slow updates.
For example:
(Cropped out the person's name so that they don't get hated on.)
Honestly, if you all went through my requests list and put yourselves in my shoes; you'd also feel overwhelmed. I'm busy with school and I still try my best to complete requests. Once I finish one request, I always have three new ones. The only reason I take requests is because so few people actually do on the forums. I know how it feels to want something and not be able to get it. So I felt like being kind and giving people the opportunity to ask for whatever they'd like. But with me completing requests, I've run out of time to update some of my FFs. Some people don't understand that. I'm just a 19-year-old girl, not a machine running 24/7. Lately I've made IF a priority over sleep to keep everyone happy. On top of that, the stress of forums and school combined managed to trigger migraines for me. I get headaches every day but I STILL try to keep everyone happy.

I'm sorry. But I can't do this anymore. I know, there are a lot of people who appreciate the time and effort I put into my work, I'd like to thank all of you. But there are some people who don't. So I might still be around the forums, minimally now, but I won't be creating anything anymore. You can still contact me through PM though.
I know I'm not the only person this happens to. But it bothers me, and this is my decision.
Maybe I'll give everything a break for a month and then try coming back later. Hopefully by then people will have stopped taking credit for my hard work. I might finish off my FFs just so I don't leave anyone hanging.
Sorry to everyone who had requested something, but you'll have to wait.
P.S. For anyone who thinks this was sudden and random. It wasn't. You may all ask zara.92 about how stressed and depressed and bothered I've been the past couple weeks, not only by the forums but everything. And I know, everyone calls me "positive Pritt" and everyone thinks I'm happy and super kind. I am, don't take me wrong. I am kind and always try to be positive. But for some reason this really managed to get to me and I just cracked. So this was my little rant and I'm sorry all of you had to see this side to me.
