"I'm gonna getcha."

Wow. I've been plagiarised. I feel all important LOL. Thank you to the kind person on Tumblr who alerted me to the fact that Wattpad user KillPrinceCharming / Isla Magnusen had posted my 1D fic Happy Families on their site claiming they'd written it themselves.

Seriously, what is the point of that? What possible satisfaction could you get from comments on a fic you didn't write? I've had people re-post my fics before, which, whilst annoying, at least credited me as author. But to steal it in its entirely, word for word? WTF?

(Incidentally, stylinsonnn, there's one of yours on there as well.)

Anyway, I left a message asking them to take it down, and also reported them to the site authorities, and it's been removed, I don't know which worked. One way or another...

PS, if you are KillPrinceCharming, and you're reading this? I hope you get worms.

Yeah, I mean... How do they get any satisfaction from that? I mean the whole time they get compliments or whatever, isn't there just going to be a niggling thought in the back of their heads that says I didn't actually write that, though? Wouldn't that just ruin whatever compliments might make them feel good about themselves?

it's a very strange thing to do!
