To friends on allpeotry; READ!!!

Dear my friends of Allpoetry.

I am leaving. For good. No more coming back.

This site has provided a lot for me; a place to improve my writing, helped with my confidence, and helped me meet a lot of great people.

However, it has opened my eyes to the amount of 'bad' people, on and off this site. The amount of people I’ve had to talk to because of plagiarism, has made me sick.

A few weeks ago, I found one of my most personal poems on someone’s blog on a Pakistani website. No, I am not racist, but I found it extremely annoying that the girl hadn't even provided a link to readers showing where she got the poem from, or even said that she didn't write it.

It took me 10 days to get hold of her; I had to sign up to the website which took a week, then a further three days for her to respond to my message and actually remove my poem, without an apology.


Now I know it seems childish, but this is only one example of the shit people have done with my work. And I am fucking sick of it.

I am not stopping writing however. I am just leaving this site. Don't try and change my mind, it won’t work.

I am moving to a more exclusive site. Don't ask what it is, I won’t tell you unless I really like you. In which case, I will tell you without you asking me. If I don't tell you, don't ask. Comprendez?

I will be deleting all of my work from here, to give people less of a chance to steal it when I am not here.


For those of you who have made my time here a pleasure, I thank you and I hope you keep writing and aspire to greater and greater things.

To those who have made my life hell, well all I have to say is
'What ye send forth comes back to thee,
So ever mind the rule of three.'

Again, thank you too all who I have made friends with, and I hope we don't drift apart but stay in contact.

Love, lust and faerie dust =] x

    Hi , I'm sorry that you're leaving and especially for the reasons you've said. But let's get realistic, if we put our work, our creative talent, our meaningful musings on the internet and regardless of how ethical and respectful we want everyone to behave, we sadly run the risk of some thoughtless, disrespectful sods taking our work and doing what they like with it, because our creations go global.So, being realistic there's a hell of a lot fruitloops out there on a gargantuan global scale. What did you think was going to happen? That's the risk everyone runs when we do what we do. If you don't want you're work abused don't put it out there and gift it to an asshole of an audacious abuser. Thanks for the timely reminder. Good luck. Take care and wishing you all the best for the future. Doreen

    I'll miss you a lot. You had given me hope, and helped me to stay here. And I wish I could do the same. But in such a situation as that, how could I? All I have to say is, good luck in the real world. I hope to see you out there.

    Awh, so sad to see you're leaving. It is bang out of order what they've done though so I defintely understand why you're doing and especially as it's personal. Take care of yourself & I shall keep on contact.

    Thanks for sharing this, sad to see ure actualy leaving and you've awoken me to the Truth of this site you should have made a complaint to them, to add no copy pasting scripts on the viewing-pages its unfair we share our work trusting others to read and appreciate our work and so we can develope our skills, not have them stolen, thanks for sharing this i don't want some illiterate nobody stealing my work and words most the stuff is personal its scary to think someone has put this on there pages, thanks for doing that i hope no stupid idiot that cant write has done that with mine.
