Note From Tavita Khan – Author of Twists And Turns
I?ve been getting comments on Twists and Turns that I was copying I Am Just Different. I don?t know why people would exactly think that, because if you read through the other chapters, it wouldn?t end up so same. First of all, I?ve had my stories copied before, by my friends who didn?t ask to borrow the idea so I know what it?s like to have someone basically steal your idea. That?s why I wouldn?t do something like that. Second of all, I started this story before 2010 summer started, near the end of 6th grade (I?m in 7th now). How could I copy her story if she hadn?t even posted it then? I didn?t even know Buzzle back then.
And, it?s not a love hate story. The story doesn?t revolve only around Solstice and Grant. Yes, they seem like they hate each other, but they don?t. It didn?t hit me our stories were even the same until you brought it up, but I wouldn?t try to copy someone?s work. That?s just wrong. I?ve did a lot of bad things in life, but I like her story and I wouldn?t try to stoop as low to copying it. It isn?t the same if you actually read it. I?m not trying to copy. If it honestly seems that way, I guess I?m sorry. But seriously, don?t accuse me of stealing it or copying cause I?m not.
Alexia isn?t interested in her brothers. She thinks he?s hot. I think a lot of my friend?s brother is hot. It doesn?t state in the story yet, but she likes another guy named Jason. And Solstice isn?t repelled by guys. It says she goes on dates, has had her first kiss & crush and thinks guys are cute or hot. I don?t mean to sound like a bitch, but I got really mad when people accuse me of stuff I didn?t even do. Anyway, I really hope you understand I didn?t copy and Author of I Am Just Different, believe me, I didn?t. I like your story and it seems like you worked really hard on it and I wouldn?t do that to you.
Also, Z, what you said about them both liking pink, have you noticed how most of the main characters in my stories don’t like pink? That’s the think, I don’t really like pink, so I just add that part to most of my characters. I probably sound mean, but I’m not trying to be. I guess the beginning of the story seems like Amber’s, but if you keep reading, you’ll realize it’s not like hers at all.
And Oindrila, thank you, but in the descriptions, ours doesn’t look similar. I doubt Amber copied, it really isn’t possible, since she started writing&posting first. I just started to write this a long time ago, but I never posted. I just really want people to accuse me of stealing or anything, because no matter did any copying.
But yah, that?s it.
