Watchers

So yeah, I got plagiarised again. And the girl who did it, apparently she submitted the plagiarised story as an English Assignment as well as letting her friend post it online on wattpad. dfvdgbvdn;kj!

I don't know if she even gets what she did was wrong, because I only talked to her friend who had posted the story - the plot is the same, which I would have written off as just a coincidence if it weren't for the fact that she word-for-word copied some things (I don't know the extent of the word-for-word copying, I just skim read the thing and read enough to know it was copied then had a friend double check for me) and she reworded the rest...but even if she reworded it slightly, it was still saying exactly the same thing I wrote and just...eugh. I asked her friend to talk to her about it and make sure she knows that rewording some things doesn't change the fact that it's plagiarism.

So yeah...I won't be posting anymore writing here on Deviantart because this isn't the first time this has happened and one time someone took all of my stories and reposted them on wattpad without my permission (at least that time she actually credited me though). I might just get a premium account so I can hide all my writing and still have it be there as proof that I wrote it (I would just delete it, but then if someone plagiarises me again I won't have proof that I not only wrote it, but wrote it first).

Also...kind of funny, on the plagiarists other stories (because she has a wattpad account too, she just had her friend post the one she plagiarised from me), she writes this big long note at the start of them about how they're her stories and not to be used without her permission and all that crap - a plagiarist trying to discourage plagiarism...oh, the hypocrisy.

...And I'm done ranting. But jfngvldkfjbv! I truly don't understand why someone would plagiarise someone. And not only that, but they tend to plagiarise really crappy things I wrote so I end up judging them not only for being plagiarists but for having poor taste in things to plagiarise.
