I always read those journals of people who got their art and work stolen and posted in other sites. It was a big deal though I've never commented. I wonder if someday my artwork would get stolen too. I hushed that thought because I wasn't really confident in my drawing.
And then.. I also forgot I'm also a writer.
Today I found my character, Mort Zapiska, is used without permission in an original story in Wattpad. I often went to search "Mort Zapiska" keywords in google to find if anyone mentions her. Usually I'd just find my own fanfic, my own deviantArt and a name of a fake user in Facebook, I don't really mind this fb account since it doesn't have any particular activity.
Yet today!
I got an email from ff.net, saying somebody has posted a review and s/he signed as guest and posted that I wasn't the one who wrote the fanfic. At first, I just laughed it off because some loyal readers have warned me about these people who like to throw flames out of nowhere. Then I got curious and googled "Mort Zapiska", and today google has another result from Wattpad.
My jaw really dropped...
This person used full "Mort Zapiska" and changed half of her background story. She was like copying my writing and changed some words.
I am right now so angry, hurtful, and I really wanted to cry. I have never thought somebody would do this to me.
I'm not popular fanfic writer, however I will admit I'm a good one. Making unique oc with unique name you would not find in Google is one of my specialities. Because I don't want these ocs to be mainstream. Mort Zapiska is one of ocs that I adored besides Schernogenji and Last.
Even though just in one story, it's really hurtful... Goddess really heard me huh? I meant, I was just wondering how if somebody's distress happens to me, and now it happened.
I'm thankful if somebody likes my writings and ocs, but plagiarising them without even crediting me.. It's a big NO NO.
I hate this..
I really hate this...
Right now I'm cursing that person like hell...
I hate that I'm cursing but I'm really hurt.
Even just it's a fanfic, Mort is my original character! I have her original story aside the story in my Death Note fanfic. She is my character and I even drew her for heaven's sake!! And my girlfriend also drew her years ago!!
Oh Goddess...
Even though just one character.. It hurts so much..
What's more those people whose works got plagiarized multiple times.. I don't know.. If that happens to me, I think I'll shut myself from online world..

Now I have vent it out.. I feel slightly better... Slightly..
I have messaged the author. I wish she will reply. If she doesn't... I'll report it to Wattpad.

I'm still doing my thesis and this added more stress..

I hate this...
