Adoptables, bases, gachas, YCHs, requests, artwork, and daily journaling... sounds like too many things to shove into a book, but as If I'd let "reasonable workload" stop me! This is as much of an artbook as it is a shop! I'm mostly reposting pieces...
I won't name users in the chapter. I found someone who had been making original OC bios but taking designs that were already sold adopts or not free to use art.
The bios were interesting in their own right, and when they posted a thing telling people to bug off and not accuse them of art thievery, I thought that they probably didn't realize what art thievery actually was. Here are my first messages. Please, if you think I was being aggressive, tell me that in the comments! I started out trying to be as polite as possible.

Unfortunately, these two messages were promptly deleted. I posted another comment trying to start a conversation. I'll admit I was a bit more frustrated here because they deleted my first comments minutes after I commented.

Once again, quickly deleted. This is my last comment:

Also very, very quickly deleted. At this point, I was sort of spamming, so I left. Obviously, part of the point of this is a rant. I haven't been so frustrated with an art thief situation before. Here's the other point:
How should I have dealt with this situation? Do you think there were things I should've said to avoid getting quickly deleted? I'm assuming that reporting art thievery on Wattpad is ineffective...
