Dear Readers,
I think I should be a bit flattered, but I'm not. I'm exasperated, Annoyed, Angry, and so very very Sad. Why? one might ask, well I'll tall ya..
There's an "Author" here on FFN, goes by the name: NightWolf588, S/He has decided that you like's MY fiction Do you Know How to Dance? so much that s/he went ahead and STOLE it, reposting it under the name: 'In The Heat Of The Moment.' While s/he has changed enough so that it's not 100% verbatim, its pretty much my fic.
MY fic, that i cried over, that i lost a relationship over, that i MOVED states while writing. My fic, that has no ending yet, but i haven't given up on. My fic that is MA rated even though FFN only allows up towards an M, MY FIC that is raunchy, dirty, pervy, and all things r0oish: ALL THINGS MINE.
The SK community is old. We have almost 20 years worth of authors, and some of us, myself including have a life that doesn't allow me to write nearly as much or at all. I may not update almost ever, but i am by all means NOT removed from the pairing or fanfiction in general. I am a moderator on one of the largest if not THE largest SK websites around. My name and works are well known so much so that while I was at work today on lunch checking my emails, I got a handful of people pointing you out, letting me know what you did, and to you Mr/Miss NIGHTWOLF588, you are not the first to steal this fic,...
But you will be the last.
I'm honestly done with people taking what doesn't belong to them. I'm damn near in tears right now thinking about all the things that i went through writing this fic that you have no idea about nor do you care about. I'm so fucking disappointed and angry that I'm really very willing and honestly leaning towards yanking this fucking fiction down and saying to hell with it.
I love my works, just as much as you do apparently. But I'm going to go Keyser Fucking Soze on it and kill it myself so that no one else can do this again.
This WILL be the last time someone steals this story from me.
I. AM. DONE.
And yes, I'm very serious. One more time and this fiction on ALL sites gets yanked down. I can only take this so much.
Beyond that I am sad for you. Sad that you feel so little for yourself and your own abilities that you have to steal from someone whole is nameless, faceless, and in your opinion victimless, even if i feel like my emotions are being raped right now. I am sad that you had to steal MY fiction to make yourself feel better. I am sad that eventually like the others, it will be taken down, and you will be remembered as just another plagiarist. Did you know, Nightwold588, that I even have a fanfiction that i friend of mine and I wrote the 2nd time this fic was stolen? You should read it, I'm told its pretty funny.
I have reported you, and I'm pretty sure that some of the 271 people that have Fav'd and the 330 people that have this on alert will do so as well.
I'm going to ask anyone reporting not to be cruel, or mean. It's not the first time this has happened. FFN is good about what they do and they will get it down probably within the week if the 'author' doesn't take it down his/herself. I will once again remove this chapter after some time if the site admin's do not do so for me.
I want to say to anyone that wanted a chapter update you have my most sincerest of apologies. As I've said many times before i have never, nor will i ever give up on finishing my fics. Some day i hope to see this finished, so we can all find our happy endings.

Happy Update! 1/17/16
The fic has been completely pulled down, along with all of the others which were not mine, but might and probably were someone elses. the 'authur' has changed their name to random letters, and while i feel it fixes things for now, i dont know if they are going to do it again. They DID have a note on their fake chapter saying it was a repost of what they posted LAST year which is worrying. But oh well. I just want to say how much i truly LOVE the SK community! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
