Please read à [This] ßfirst regarding the plagiarism issue if you have not done so already.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will be post-locked on my LJ and the previous post will be edited.

The author had apologized, the fic has been deleted, and everything is done and settled with.

As for BoY: Spending a few nights, thinking about it throughout the day (yes, i think about my fic this much) and talking to my sister (-suprise- who totally gave me some well-needed advice), and my friend (-these are you options Sum3r-) as well as reading the comments that you guys have left me, the advice and explanations- BoY will most certainly continue--i apologize for freaking out and thinking that this-my baby-should be dropped. I also apologize for bringing you all through this but really, i had absolutely no idea what i should have done to deal with this, and since this had never happened to me before, i wanted some advice and help.

As for the author who plagerized: (black rose, or whoever you are): I tried to message you back, but LJ wouldnt let me, so- "Guys, ser, i cant even desrive what im feeling because of the comments you have left. Reading them made me laugh, made me smile, made me cry from the sincerity" --This had nothing to do with you. I wrote this for the comments such as -"This practically occupies the spot that saturday morning cartoons once did- or -sometime we need to forget the world around us and just continue with what we have- or -Still, if you want to keep writing, do it. Writing is one hurdle after another- and more. I regret that you misunderstood and believed that i was laughing at the comments written about you. But by clearly writing -I dont think you're taking this too far at all. There's a right to be angry ^^ I hope you do update again- i thought you understood, accepted it, and that the matter was over with. Thus, i decided to continue on since it was settled with. Now, Regardless of whether or not you think you copied my fic-- you did. I'm sure 
lil_pinai   can tell you exactly when and where you copied my words, my plot and my action sequences and you need to understand what you did was wrong. And hun? i think i was sincere enough to accept you apology. Most authors would have given you hell for what you did.

Please don't message me back. This matter is done and over with.

As for those who are planning on borrowing inspirations without permission (plagiarizing): Think again. Really. Read this and understand what you are planning on doing.

PLAGIARIZING is a BIG thing among writers. Especially those who WRITE fanfictions for FUN.

And if i find out that either my fics, or the fics of my friends at _Starcandy or Hug____ have been plagiarized, then i am not joking when i say i will turn this into a freaking WAR.

As for my readers: I sincerely apologize for putting you guys through this. But i do think what i have done is justified. I'm sorry for freaking out, and now that i have calmed down and thought rationally, BoY will most def. continue. I have had the last chapter planned since chapter 2 and am planning on finishing this story. Once again, i am sorry.

Thank you,

-Sum3r
