It honestly feels like a scam, as opposed to an honest request because someone enjoyed my writing. So, I'm canceling this story. If you get a request similar to this:Authors Note
Hey guys, so, five minutes after posting this I started getting PMs and Messages saying they had also received requests that were suspiciously similar to this one. So, I looked into it, and found four stories with the same basis, all requested by the same user, all completed. Now, when I confronted JBlaser/JBlaster about asking other authors to write the same story, they said that they had asked and everyone had a) said no b) never responded or c) agreed and then not said anything for months and ultimately didn't write the story. Of course, I knew after a quick search that that was a blatant lie.
So, here's my issue. I was not told about this, and perhaps I should have looked into this before writing the request, but I didn't have reason to think they'd asked others, and they'd had it written for them several times.
As a writer, I don't mind requests. If I like the prompt, I am happy to write it, but for them to request the same prompt to several writers, as opposed to requesting original ideas once their first was done. It is a bit of an insult that they give me the same thing they've had four other writers write. And will likely continue to ask other writers to write.
So, what do you think? This incident makes me unnerved and pretty much unwilling to finish and post the rest of the story. It honestly feels like a scam, as opposed to an honest request because someone enjoyed my writing. So, I'm canceling this story. If you get a request similar to this:
" Rarity is tired from all the dresses she had to make for a order and needed help , so she uses the pond to make clones of herself to help her on the boutique while she goes to the spa , but they get out of control and run around the town , Rainbow dash sees this and tries to bring clones back to the boutique and get Twilight to get rid of them , as she tried the clones get annoyed by her and get an idea , so they grab her using their magic and gives her a full makeover (facials, manicures , makeup , hair , jewelry and clothes ) and she ends up looking beautiful and fashionable as well as teaching her how to act feminine
At the end the original Rarity come back , sees at her boutique that all the work was done and is greeted by RD who now was acting elegant and calling herself Rarity , to Rarities is surprised and scared by this , realizing what happened she orders the clones to go back to the pool , they go but they also grab RD with them thinking she is one of them , Rarity panics and chases after them ."
I would recommend not agreeing to write it. They've had it written several times over. It's a waste of your time unless you are 1000% in love with it. But hey, just a thought.
Thank you for your interest and for your time. But I will not be finishing this. Keep an eye out for these stories. See you in the next story.
