#and somebody stole my painting 😅

[tarjapearce]

I am so sorry about what's going on. I found out that I was the victim of plagiarism (honestly outright theft) of an old oc of mine.

Like the design was an exact copy of my character right down to the scars on her body and the fandom she was created for! So I totally understand how you feel. (I did call them out for ripping the design of a character I've had for a decade, comment got deleted and I got blocked, no surprise 😅)

But honestly if you wanna talk about anything my inbox is always open! For some reason it won't let me open new DMs with people, it automatically sends new messages to one of my chats in particular and i have NO clue how to fix that; I feel so sorry for my friend who gets my out of context random messages .

And yeah the one night stand trope is used a lot, but the thing is.... You came up with OFAH. You named it. You gave the story breath and life. You are putting every tiny detail you could possibly put in, into it. You put all the angst and drama I honestly don't see in those "trope fics". Too many of them wind up with "he realizes his mistake and leaves his obviously unhappy relationship to marry his pregnant mistress and they live happily ever after" plotline.

You are putting in what would very likely happen in real life; including the PTSD of child abuse, the fear of carrying and giving birth to a child you didn't expect (possibly even don't want), the fear and uncertainty of giving the child up for adoption, of being a part of a big scandal. It's like reading/watching a good telenovela; the angst having me at times literally gasping out loud at some of the stuff going on in your fic.

And, oftentimes is something hard to come by when so much emotion and effort is put into it.

OFAH is YOURS, T. If somebody literally copy pasted it, and only changes a few things it is still theft.

They can spray paint your gold nugget silver and claim they "found" it, but at the core it is still a gold nugget they stole and covered with their own "work" to get attention.

I'm... What the actual fuck? I'm so sorry you also got stolen!

Oh my god.

Why I'm not surprised? Blocking when getting confronted? So damn mature and honest. Ugh.

And thanks fot the support dear. Means alot that people find out about this cause its not fair that people bust their asses creating for people to just take.

This has oddly motivated me to keep going.

STEALING IS NOT NICE. Don't try and be subtle about it. You'll be found out. Sooner or later. Besides, it's ridiculous and disrespectful af.
