As you can see above, the user Ashiraa on wattpad copied and pasted my Merlin story ‘Burning’ onto their page, word for word, the Author’s note included even :/
They identify me in one line of the story description, but nowhere else in the literal chapter.
This story took Burning in its entirety, including the author notes and ORIGINAL CHAPTERS without my permission.
They claim that they clarify in the comments that it’s not their work by mine, however there are numerous comments without such a reply and I will be posting examples of it.
It was taken and posted on wattpad, again without my permission or knowledge, in May 2020, after I’d already come back and been more active online.
I received no wattpad message, no FF message (that I replied to), no tumblr ask about permission to do this, which they claimed to have tried to do. And even if they did and I didn’t respond, I therefore did not give permission!
Above are examples from their posting of my story, same name, and my work.
I would like to ask your help reporting this plagiarism on wattpad.
I don’t do this lightly, but I do not consider a single line in a story description as giving proper credit when people are reading mostly the chapters and not seeing any mention of my work, and they changed the cover to feature a different actress for the OC.
This is the 32nd time I have been plagiarized overall :(
I ask that you please help me report this plagiarism, and I do consider it plagiarism as this was done without my permission. I can understand if a tiny part of a story was taken and a note was put in a chapter that it was inspired by my work, but this is my entire story, my entire series and I did not give permission for this to happen :/
I would very much appreciate the help :( I’ve been told wattpad may require reporting as inappropriate content (content that should be removed) in order to file a report.
I apologize if the images are small or end up too big or warped, I will be working on making them completely viewable with my page’s theme. This is not a post to bash the author or an invitation to comment harshly on the event. This is merely a means to document when instances of plagiarism have struck and ask for assistance with reporting such incidents.
I don’t know if anyone needs to personally compare the stories as the portions above were the copied sections but the links are:
