Okay so I know I haven't posted on this in awhile and honestly it's mostly because I kind of grew out of Sam and Colby. Right now i'm focusing more on my life and I'm actually writing a book in my spare time (maybe eventually I'll post it but idk). But I just felt like I needed to say something.
It has come to my attention that stories from my "book" (or whatever you wanna call this) are being copied without my permission. I try to remain positive throughout my life but this situation just got to me and I'm not too sure why.
The story that I saw was a literal copy of my story "Home Invasion Prank" only with a few sentences switched around. As I was reading it I came across lines word for word from my story.
This honestly made me feel like shit. It was a piece that I took time out of my day and used my own ideas to write, so when someone else passes it off as their own it hurts a little. It also doesn't help that the book has such high ratings.
Now, I'm not going to put this person on blast because I feel like that would be wrong of me. Though I do hope they stop stealing stories, even if not from me.
This goes for anyone reading... if you need help with the thematics of writing and or need new ideas and a fresh set of eyes, then message me! I would love to help you improve not only your writing but the way you feel about it! Just please, please do not steal any stories from someone else.
I'm honored that my story seems "well" enough to steal, but please don't. It just doesn't sit right with me... but I don't know I may be acting too sensitive over this.
Here are pictures of the story that was copied if you wanna compare it to mine.
THE ORIGINAL STORY THAT I WROTE IS ON THE LEFT!!

If you recognize who this person is please don't go over to their book and spread hate... that's the last thing I would want.
I will admit that in the heat of the moment I was a tad petty and commented "this is literally my story that I wrote but ok 👌🏼." I hope that if you were put in this situation you remain patient and try to remain in a good place and character, not acting as I did.
If you see mine or anyone else's writing being used without permission, please say something and notify the actual author!
I'm sorry for wasting your time with this but I just wanted to make people aware. If one person got something out of reading this then I did my job as an author and I thank you.
