So yk my dabihawks book, Cruel Cupidity right?
So for one of the chapters, i think it was the second one; My friend had a request for that chapter. I wrote about, thinking that it was like, really amazing. But i also wondered how she came up w that chapter idea, she ignored me at first. Once i finished writing the chapter and publishing it, i was really happy with it. I was going to thank her for the idea until..
I went on ao3 one day, searched up DabiHawks, clicked on one page and i read it.
my gut clenched so tightly, i was flabbergasted. That page was exactly like that chapter i wrote, the one my friend suggested. I looked at both our dates, It was so confusing. That author published their page before i published my chapter. Guess what, my friend basically told me, to my goddamn face to copy something that was already written about,. How do I know my friend knew about that ao3 page? Well, for starters she is obsessed w dabihawks + shes an ao3 addict. She literally had the nerve to come to me, like 4 weeks after i published my chapter and straight up told me, with no emotion; "You know that chapter I told you to write? Well, it was actually from an ao3 story, my bad lol"
the nerve. the goddamn nerve. i literally smiled at her and walked away. Haven't heard from her in 2 weeks, tough shit.
Now I'm stuck thinking about what I should do about the 7 minute chapter I wrote. I realised that i didn't copy everything about that page, luckily.
I've learned not to take in outstanding requests from friends, either your foolish thinking I won't find out, or it's actually your own idea but i've got trust issues.
good, god.
