Fighting and Surviving Plagiarism

Manita V

Hello Everyone,

It sounds funny now, as I write it.

This plagiarism thing is happening at such a frequent basis that every few days, I find myself writing notes more than the updates – One note about how this stupid thing happened, followed by another note saying – “Thank you for your love and support. It means a lot to me!”

It is seriously embarrassing.

First I wondered – why me? Always. Then, I went to the root of it and realised that actually, it doesn’t happen just with me. It happens with a LOT of writers. Some get to know of it. Some don’t. When someone points out a plagiarist, other writers check her out and are there for a shock that they have been stealing stories from them too.

I’m just the lucky one who gets to know it fast. Heartfelt thanks to all the vigilant readers who inform me in time.

I’m yet to understand why people do it, even after knowing that lies have no base. It has to wither away. How much can you copy?? Someday it will be caught. That day all readers, all appreciation will be lost, account deactivated/suspended, stories taken down and maybe, you will end up facing a lawsuit.

Only, originality and hard work stays!! An original writer will go on writing one hundred stories and more. A plagiarist will never be able to do that without getting caught. So my sincere advice to all those who still think that it is okay to copy things from here and there to make up a story that will be loved and appreciated, you are craving love for something that you don’t own. It will never be loyal to you. It will ditch you, expose you and leave you alone, humiliated and insulted, lonely and depressed.

Create something fruitful and bask in it’s glory for years because even when there is no one to read, you have one loyal reader and that is – YOU! Stay faithful to yourself, at least!

To all my readers – Once again, thank you for standing beside me and supporting me. I remember each and every person who extends a hand of support and trust me when I say that you can count on me for any help or support. God knows, how many more battles we have to fight. But I’m not scared. As long as I have the support of people who love me and my work.

Don’t worry about me. I’m doing fine. If anyone thinks that these blows will knock me down and make me stop writing, they have underestimated me. I’m stronger than that.

The harder the blow, the stronger the survivor – is my policy to sustain hardships!

And, I’m very much here!!

The following piece is for all those who are not on twitter and instagram – I posted it last week. I’m not very regular at social media, but I do check DMs once a day at twitter, insta and wattpad and post few lines when I write something new…

Thanks again.

Take care. Lots of love.

Keep smiling… for you never know who counts on your smile to make his day!!

PS – I will hopefully update all of my stories today and will follow the schedule from next week.

  9. There is always good and bad in everything.. but good always will prevail.
    Glad to see your msges..i wish you the very best Manita.

  10. People steal your work because you are an amazing writer di and those copycats doesn’t have any job other than stealing others hardwork.I just hope that u don’t face this problem again.

  12. That’s like my boo .. all the love to you 😘🤗🤗

  13. This is the sole reason why you are my favourite writer! And the poem is great, loved it!

  14. Defaulters are always there. NO matter how many platforms you, how tight privacy and security you implement, the betrayal always comes from the most closed or rather i should say disguised one. Nevertheless, you suffered, survived, stood up and chose to start all over again, That is the spirit and a tight slap to all those cowards who knew nothing but cheating. I am glad that you are continuing with your work despite all the mess and fuss you’ve gone through, this needs courage. Just a random advise, “Don’t let them influence you and make them more jealous cause if others are getting jealous from your work , then you are on the right path .” I hardly comment on your stories, But i love them all and i love the way you write. Keep it up 🙂

    1. Thank you Uzma.
      I agree with you that the perpetrators are always there. They copy even published books so we can just imagine how low their self esteem is.

      Thanks for the words of support. They are the best form of motivation a writer can get. Stay blessed.

  15. Ur this quality of not giving up on things after happening for many times.. makes me inspired.. u still stay strong .. setting an example for what a strong woman is.. a huge respect for that .. u r not only a good writer but a strong personality as well.. so proud that I found ur stories n reading them.. n also getting inspired from you… I know I won’t comment on ur posts of stories.. coz I really can’t understand what to text except for texting some superlatives .. I’m really bad at expressing my views… But I do like them really… Loads of love ..

    1. Thank you for liking my stories and reading them.
      It’s okay if you don’t comment regularly. I understand that sometimes people are busy and sometimes, they don’t know what to write.
      It is more than enough for me that you wrote to me when I needed it the most.
      Thanks 🙂
      Stay blessed.

  16. You are strong.. That’s the biggest quality that I have learnt from you…. It’s very easy to say that I am strong but to make it a reality is very hard.. I have heard this plagiarism incident a lot of times from a lot of writers especially you… Many of them have completely left wattpad and their beautiful stories due to such people … One of them have said that it is difficult to continue writing when her hard work of years has been stolen by someone.It’s heartbreaking to see this continuing for so long and there is nothing for such person to stop doing these. I wish I could do something but at present I can only extend my support to you.. May God gives you more strength to cope up with it…

    1. That’s so sweet of you. But I tell you, if a reader really wants to do something, she should do what you are doing – Extend your support. This is something that gives a new life to any writer.
      She can steal my idea, my writing, my words… she can never steal my talent and my strength.
      And part of my strength is my readers!!
      Love you loads

    2. And yes, it is definitely disheartening to have your work stolen and then continue to write, not knowing when it will be stolen again.
      So, I don’t blame the writers who are not able to continue.
      I choose to stick to it because quitting will mean that a thief won and you lost!

    3. Missed you soo much Di.. Sorry I didn’t commented from soo long..
      You know Di.. When I read your last note I literally laughed.. It was like soo tight slap on that person’s face and I could hear it here also.. 😆 you are really awesome I never heard someone scolding anyone in the form of words and that too this nicely… It was wow.. And people like this truly deserve this but they forgot one thing that they can copy someone’s hard work but carma still exists and it will always show them mirror.. And that day they will realise what they did.. I am sure about one thing that you are Lady Bhim and you will always punch on their face straight… And you don’t need anything to teach them a good lesson..
      I feel soo soo proud of you Di.. 💖 keep doing this always cause it always remind me that we can do anything and everything and we always do right to right things and right to wrong things..
      Thank you for being my inspiration always..
      Stay blessed 💫
