Hello everyone. First of all, I would like to say a big thank you for all of your support. Secondly, with the recent announcement that Wattpad is partnering with Paramount to essentially scavenge for story ideas to adapt into film and TV, I am heavily considering removing my work from here.
The main reason I became an active poster again on this site is because of the rampant plagiarism that occurs here, but I have been getting much more interaction than I expected. I would hate to leave anyone hanging, but I am also not comfortable with the possibility of my ideas being stolen by some suiy wearing executive producer in an office.
Maybe they intend to commission authors rather than simply lift the ideas, maybe everyone is misreading the situation. I hope that's the case, but with corporate entertainment, I wouldn't be surprised if they went for the stealing route, using Wattpad's TOS to do so legally.
Despite writing fanfic and not original work, I still worry about the integrity of my plot ideas in certain cases.
As of right now, I am torn on what to do, both for the sake of continuing to combat plagiarism and for the reader base I have here, while also wanting to protect my work from any predatory TOS.
I am still deciding what to do, but in the event that I delete here, you can find me on Tumblr, Quotev, or Ao3.
