As some of you know, @afterheese is my side blog for K-pop fics, and recently someone took my Jungwon header and used it as their own without giving me any credit.
I put a lot of time and effort into creating my headers, so itās really disheartening to see them being used without credit. If you didnāt make the header yourself, the least you can do is give proper credit or not use it at all. Iāve reached out privately before, and being ignored only adds to the frustration. I wasnāt able to use my side blog to comment on their post because it looks like they restricted my account.

This might seem like an overreaction to some, but this isnāt the first time someone has used my work without asking or giving credit, and it doesnāt sit right with me. If you had just asked, I probably wouldāve said yes. Instead, you chose versions without watermarks, thinking I wouldnāt notice but I did. I know how to handle this moving forward, and Iāll be more careful with how I share my work. Just a reminder: crediting creators is basic respect.
You can check the dates these were originally posted. Iāve got the receipts. And if you need more proof, I have the original Photoshop files that show I made them. This isnāt just about credit, itās about respecting someone elseās time and effort. I shouldnāt have to defend my own work, but here we are. Let this be a reminder: ask before using someoneās work, and give credit where itās due.
Thanks for listening to my rant. Iāll likely delete this post in the next few weeks, but Iām excited to share a new fic Iāve been working on tomorrow. Have a great night, everyone!
