Heyho there my lovelies! This is my official Wattpad account. I do NOT post or read on here, however, unfortunately it happens quite often that Wattpad users are stealing/re-posting my work without crediting and/or asking for my permission on this platform.

I do NOT allow ANY kind of re-posting of my work. EVER. So if you ever find any of my works here on Wattpad, it wasn't me and it was definitely posted without my permission.

You can find the following on Wattpad's Copyright FAQ:
What is a copyright infringement?
Posting the copyrighted works of others without their legal consent.
Posting on behalf of an author and giving credit to them. This is still a violation of copyright and will be treated the same way. Consent is ALWAYS required from the author.
Adaptations or slight alterations to a work, such as changing names, copying the events and writing them in your own words, changing character point of views, are a violation of copyright.

Don't get yourself in trouble and keep in mind that fanfiction writers share their work entirely for free. The only form of "payment" they receive are comments, views and likes and being able to communicate with their readers. If you re-post a piece of work without our permission, what is there left for us? Eventually, many of us will stop writing altogether thinking nobody is reading or commenting anyway. It sounds harsh but the joke is always on you.

If you'd like to contact me or let me know about a stolen piece of work of mine, please chat me up on Tumblr, you can also do that without an account. I only log in here when I need to report copyright infringement.

Virtual hug,

Stef
