"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, [livejournal.com profile] 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.

What an utter cockmonkey. I suppose it's kind of flattering, but even so, it's a bloody liberty and I'm not surprised you're miffed. Hopefully by now they've got worms, fleas and an infestation of bot fly larvae.

yeah, it is flattering that they liked it enough to pinch it! oddly it feels more annoying that they've stolen not so much the fic but the comments/hits!
