Well, look what I found on Wattpad...

https://www.wattpad.com/859418579-eternal-chapter-1-born-to-kill

This fucktard poorly tried and severely failed in making Eternal into a "traditional novel." They added in all the extra info choices so now most of the "novel" is an info dump. They didn't even change the second person perspective. Lol.

Looks like hasn't been updated since last year. Not surprising. Most of these folks never even have the endurance to complete their copying. Oh well. My name's mentioned and they picked a cool picture at least. Gotta copy from the best right?

Remember folks, accept no substitutes!

Plagiarism. Plagiarism never changes.



To be fair, there were no ideas available, they may not have had any choice but to take somebody else's.

@GarbonZo

You have a Wattpad account, go tell that guy his deceptions have been uncovered, and also that he smells bad.

I went ahead and reported this Wattfag for End since all the IRL details they wanted on the infringement form were too annoying for him.

Too bad they don't seem to really use the account anymore, it would've been better if it caused them personal pain to lose it.

Your pursuit to right this grave injustice has been noted.

I tried to do the same because I hate liars, but the site gave me a hard time...

It’s up to you @EndMaster to right their wrongdoing.

Ugh. This is why I didn't bother.

Do I have to make an account or something.

Fair enough. The scum bag doesn’t even deserve the time it takes to report.

And yes, I think you do.

I reported it already through that same form because I was authorized to report it by you.

I don't think you have to be a lawyer or anything, just having permission is enough.

Alright then, because I was running into the same thing and I was already annoyed.

Okay, cool I’ll go through with it too. More reports can’t hurt, right?

Too bad we did away with cruel and unusual punishment... kidding, kidding, I swear... sorta.

I thought that's what having a Wattpad account already was.

You’re right. If I see another “hate to love”, “rich guy loves poor girl”, or “they lived happily ever after” I might die from second hand embarrassment.

Holy crap, you just tagged EndMaster and lived.  Congratulations, sir!

I could just use my account to post a comment saying "this is plagiarized, here's a link to the original" since the report form is such a pain.

Honestly go for it. It’s embarrassing enough.

And I didn’t know I overstepped any boundaries... I’m new. Pitiful excuse, I know, but it’s all I got. Lol. Glad that I survived it though.

Meh, it was for a good cause. And the tag didn't seem to work anyway since I didn't even notice.

I'm guessing Wattpad gets a lot of copyright complaints if they have 3 million questions for it.

No kidding. I find full novels on there all the time and I’m just shocked. Like, idiot, that’s not yours to post even if you give credit. It’s illegal.

At first I thought they'd try to turn this into a Choose Your Own Adventure Novel with, "If you want to shove your dagger up Semra's ass, turn to page 2. If you'd rather gouge out her eye and skull rape her, turn to page 33." type shit, but nope. They legit just got rid of the choices while still keeping all the text that tells you what your choices are. This does not work on so many levels. I feel sorry for the 104 people who never got to see the original and constantly had to ask themselves, "What the fuck am I reading?"

Interesting, Gower just mentioned that someone at Wattpad had ripped off Tally Ho at some point and he had to go fill out the form as well.

Plagiarism must just be the thing they like to do, I can understand why, the need to register to fill out the complaints is the only way to get real authors to join.

Well the link is broken now, so the staff over there works fast anyhow.

Yep, looks like its gone.

Another victory for CYStia will be noted in the glorious archives.

I was going to make an account and contribute, but it seems they already got their just desserts.

What scum.

Mmm. Just desserts. ^_^
