It seems that the Titchy Witch story I found on that fake ebook download site (Titchy Witch and the Frog Fiasco) is NOT my Titchy Witch book at all. Today I googled "Wattpad Titchy Witch" to see if there were any more fake sites with the story floating around and discovered that there is actually a genuine Titchy Witch published book series (the author's name is Rose Impey) that I had no idea existed, and that Titchy Witch and the Frog Fiasco is an actual title in that series. I assume that my Wattpad username came up in the Google description of the result simply because the fake website was trawling the internet for similar stories. I promise you that the existence of both Titchy Witch books is a pure coincidence. Neither of us copied the other; the first of Rose Impey's Titchy books was published in 2003. I first wrote about MY version of Titchy Witch in 2005, at school, as stated in the previous author's note (and I can take pictures of my old book to prove it), however I have no memory of ever reading, seeing or even hearing about Impey's Titchy books, and I am absolutely positive that I would have remembered such a thing upon discovering that Impey's books exist if I had done so. The existence of the two entirely different, entirely unrelated Titchy Witch stories is pure coincidence.

With regards to the other website (on which I found my Mystic Hill roleplay), I discovered it had all my works on it. I reported the site to Wattpad (and voiced my concerns about its security) via the support page and received an email in response saying that they were aware of it and were investigating it. For now, all I can do is advise you all to do a google search for your Wattpad username to check whether your works are on this website as well.

As a reminder, the ONLY places where I have posted my stories are on my  Wattpad profile @SinewaveSanctuary and my QuoteV profile Metallucia Queen of the Courtroom (I may change my QuoteV username to SinewaveSanctuary to be consistent and prevent confusion).

Yours mathematically, Sinewave.
