Important Notice

Dear Readers,

It saddens me that I have to even put such a notice up, but it has become a necessity. For those of you who think it is okay to take a writer's work and share it without their permission, or post it somewhere without asking them, I assure you it is not. Granted these works are those that you so enjoyed reading but they are also the works that the writer has spent days and nights dreaming up to convey into words and put on paper for you. They have spent their time, energy, and poured their creative mojo into these letters and words, through pen and paper, and onto the screen in front of you. And I request you - respect that. Respect the writing process. Respect the effort. Respect the time that it took for the writer to deliver you that story that you liked so much.

By copying someone's work, you are doing nothing but disrespecting the writer, disrespecting your fellow readers, and making a mockery of yourself.

With that I have to add on a personal note, if anyone is found to be copying my work, PLAGIARIZING my work, there will be legal action taken.

And for those of you, my lovely readers, who have stuck by me, and supported me, even in times when I have not written, I thank you. If you see my works published somewhere, please let me know. You can PM me on IF, or use the "Contact Me" option on the homepage of my blog, located in the panel to your right.

I am reopening my blog because I refuse to be restricted by anyone who plagiarizes another person's work and then hides behind the false safety of a computer screen. For those copiers - you will be caught. And for my loyal readers, thank you for backing me up.

Sincerely,
Blayde
