WATTPAD IS FULL OF SHIT

You, The Wattpad Company!
I signed up for Wattpad in 2013. My username is S8B2021 (8 Shades of Black) and my stage name is Shade Eight Black for entertainment purposes.

You (WATTPAD) accused me of a copyright infringement incident in February 2021. I strongly disagree with, disapprove, or condemn your allegations in the email communication under my GMAIL account, as you have so severely triggered my emotions to get upset!
The cancellation of my Wattpad account affected me psychologically!
In March or April 2021, I forced myself to STAY CALM because I needed to talk to you healthily, even when I was emotionally triggered by the cancellation in February 2021! I did NOT even expect that my account was going to be canceled behind my back!
I did NOT even prepare to download my stories electronically via Flash Drive and backup data.
@wattpad @wattpadstatus
I’VE BEEN ON YOUR FANFICTION PLATFORM FOR 9 YEARS SINCE 2013! WHY NOW IN 2021? WHY DID YOU WAIT UNTIL 2021 TO CANCEL MY ACCOUNT? MAKES ZERO SENSE TO ME!
After all these years on Wattpad, there are still NO words to describe my painful experience with the canceled account! Until then, and after learning what happened, I’m having trouble finding my balance in mental health (1)
because you seem so insensitive to my GRIEF for the loss of what I write. I’m trying to stay calm as much as possible. Still, at the same time, NO ONE at Wattpad is making it easy for me to choose words carefully before I suffer any further! (2)
YOU (THE WATTPAD COMPANY) MISUNDERSTOOD ME A BIG TIME!
What you didn’t know about me is a learning disability and grammatical problems in my communication skills while using the email online. It’s very much possible that you embarrassingly FAILED to understand my written speech at that time!
You didn’t even bother to ask for more clarification. You just assumed! You didn’t know what I was really trying to do with my stories because you thought I was a fraud and a liar!
You NEVER interrogated me correctly because your replies were brief, insensitive, and rude! I doubt your interaction style with fanfiction writers is very constructive or well-organized. You people are damn LAZY!
You only assume my intelligence for mental health issues without learning the truth about my learning disorder as a DEAF person.
I’M DISABLED! STOP BEING AN ABLEIST!
I must retrieve my written stories back from you people at Wattpad! The problem is that you don’t have any natural conception of personal belongings that is either DELETED or stolen.
My stories are much more valuable to me as BABIES, which I wrote with pride, but I felt so dead inside without them! You (Wattpad) should NEVER delete my stories from my account, NOR contact me about it!
If you have any solid concerns about my writing style, please contact me first! Why don’t you talk to me first?!
I DON’T CARE IF YOU THINK I BROKE THE RULES; YOU STILL HAVE TO TALK TO ME FIRST!
I have NOT abandoned my dreams of negotiating a beneficial solution with you. You must listen to me while I’m making proposals for ideas that could solve all kinds of problems. Trust me, it’ll be successful if you’re willing to participate in the solution.
For both of us, this is a win-win option for everybody on both sides. We need to have a middle ground!
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ARE LISTED (SEE BELOW)
Number 1. Please elaborate on what you believe to be copyright infringement. However, please specify if you still think I’m infringing the copyright of movies, books, and famous quotes.
Number 2. Ask questions first instead of jumping to a false conclusion and deactivating the Wattpad account of anyone who uses it. You may NEVER know that some people might have a similar idea, which doesn’t necessarily mean they are stealing. It could be a work of nostalgia. (1)
Sometimes, one idea is frequently used by many writers without their knowing or seeing each other’s works. This might have been a simple misunderstanding. Asking me questions won’t harm you. It’s better than taking down my account. Ask me first before canceling my account. (2)
Number 3. After finishing downloading or “copy/paste” format, you can turn off my account again. I don’t need to return it to my account. (1)
You give me 24 hours or 7 days for one week to access my account, so I can take 3 Reveries Long Wait and David/Diana Series home with me on Google Drive under my Gmail Account. (2)
Number 4. “This is a television-styled screenplay and is a complete work of fiction in all types of circumstances, including politically incorrect topics.” Did you see what I said in my writing on Wattpad? (1)
Did you see my saying on Wattpad: “All rights are explicitly reserved for the targeted audience of young adults. No part can be used or reproduced without the writer’s permission, unless celebrities, reviewers, or advertisers reach out to me.” (2)
Did you see my introduction on Wattpad: “Due to copyright policy as I failed to cite specific sources without asking for their permission.” (3)
Did you also see what I said? “I have tried contacting Hollywood industry agents to those who might have owned copyrights that I borrow or take from. I am no expert on a particular network or contact info on phone numbers.” (4)
Did you see where I said: “Let’s try contacting somebody at
Number 6: My writing projects are “Romeo, David, and Diana” or “David & Diana Series”: RDD 1, RDD 2, RDD 3, RDD 4, RDD 5, and RDD 6. It is on my Wattpad account. All of my stories are there. The last copies of my stories. I didn’t make copies.
Number 7: Deaf Fairy Tales (My Other Works). I have many different stories that are still sitting on my account. I’m still waiting for Wattpad to reopen my account!
You WON’T regret reopening my account, so you know I’ll fix errors and download my data during the 24-hour limit. GIVE ME 24 HOURS TO REOPEN MY ACCOUNT; I NEED TO LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT TO DOWNLOAD EVERY CHAPTER OF 3 REVERIES LONG WAIT!
I haven’t copied or stolen anything that didn’t belong to me because it doesn’t make sense, and secondly, I NEVER got paid, though. At that time, I was unemployed and poor! I thought Wattpad is a safe space!
3 Reveries Long Wait is my original work of non-fiction! If you look at my stage name (Shad Eight Black) and my legal name (DaShawn Owens) in the TV script I wrote, you’ll know I’m NOT lying! Believe me, I’m my own character from that television script!
You just thought I stole ideas while getting paid. NOW, THAT IS CRAZY! You NEVER asked me if I was being on payroll!
I wrote “3 Reveries Long Wait” without stealing or copying! I own that title! It is based solely on my own real life. I didn’t make that shit up! I CANNOT lie if I write my own autobiography because I am the owner of my lived experiences as a disabled person!
THE LONGEST ANSWER WHILE WRITING FICTION: I borrowed punchlines from movies, books, and celebrities without permission, but that doesn’t mean I took credit for their career. I wrote love letters as a tribute to the people who inspired me in my writing. (1)
I NEVER said I got credit for their published bibliographies. These copyrights are only used as an inspiring theme or as a muse. Still, I can see why you believe I violated Wattpad’s policies. (2)
I forgot who these credits belong to while I was on my Wattpad account, so you know I’m NOT a thief-type. I NEVER stole anybody’s works; I’ve NEVER claimed ownership of any copyright! (3)
I just borrowed from around the world online! Sometimes I get ideas from real places that aren’t on the internet! Right now, I have difficulty finding an agency to ask permission to use music lyrics in the first few scripts of “Romeo, David, and Diana (RDD)” or “David & Diana.”
I don’t know how to reach out to music artists (celebrities) for approval. I have lazily left them on Wattpad since 2013 without getting an endorsement. Those copies of similar words will only sit there on my account for 8 years! No one has complained about how I write for 8 yrs!
This is weird because… No one… I repeated. NO ONE reported copyright infringement for 8 years! I mean, no one until now in February 2021! So, why now? Why did you decide to cancel my account now? Why didn’t you do it in 2013? Where were you at that time in 2013?
You people at Wattpad could have been BETTER at communicating with me rather than immediately canceling my account. Or… Rather than waiting for me to start aggressively nudging the company so hard to get attention. I hated that part where I had to be aggressive!
I don’t like how we leave things on a sour note or abandon the situation without trying to solve problems between us. I know you guys at Wattpad could have given back my babies to me; I know you can. But are you ready to cooperate with me? I’m prepared to find us a middle ground!
