Welcome All!

 

 

Dearest Readers,

 

As you can see I have relocated to this sleek new place which is now my new home. Yes, we have gone through a facelift, which I will admit was an excruciating process, learning the ins and outs to facilitate the move over to this new platform. But, if I might add, it doesn’t look bad at all, kyun?

 

Q. What’s new and how do I sign up?

A. Besides the lovely facelift and a new .com url, nothing really for all of you readers. This is still powered by WordPress, so your WP User ID will work to follow, like and comment (remember that’s how I know who you are). No WP ID, no worries. I have adjusted the settings where anyone can simply comment. Make sure to put your name in the box, email is not necessary. Just let me know who you are. It’s that easy!

 

Q. How can I get notifications?

A. While I have moved the followers from the original WP Curiosity blog, and you should receive notifications via email, along with it showing up on your WordPress reader, we know tech issues will still be there. So, if you haven’t received a notification for this post, then I suggest you subscribe to the blog to be on the safe side. Just click on the follow button, or input your email address. Or you can follow me on Twitter @Chokri_ASR

 

Q. Can we get access to Temptation and/or Stripped?

A. For now, no. I am in the process of moving the old blogs to a new home (making it harder for the criminals to simply copy & paste, yes all this work because some jackass can’t keep their sticky fingers to themselves!) After which, I need to come to a decision on how to share my stories going forward. No more being a nice person where it’s out in the open for all. Stay tuned after the beginning of the year for an update. And if you can please do me a favor… do NOT request access to the old blogs. They are officially closed. Thanks in advance for your cooperation for not filling up my inbox  🙂

 

Q. Will Revealed be opening anytime soon?

A. Unfortunately, no. This story is closed indefinitely.

 

Until my return make yourselves comfortable (not the criminals, please stay the fuck away), and catch up on my previous OneShots. Including a couple of ones that I have added from Revealed, since they were drabbles/oneshots.

 

In advance wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday and a bright, prosperous New Year ahead!

 

Love always,

Jigs

  1. I am very comfortably ensconced in this beautiful space, my darling. Looking forward to reading a lot more of the thoughts you gather as you tread the paths your curiosity leads you along. Weaving words in your inimitable way that make me laugh, make me cry, make me introspect, and always, but always, leave me wanting more.

    1. Knowing you are waiting for more, is what makes me want to write. Your love and support through all of this is what helps me tremendously. Thank you my love <3

    2. My dear Ruchi ,
      How are you ?

      Cheers 🥂

  5. Jigs, Love your new digs 😘🤗
    Waiting here patiently for you to weave your magic and mesmerize me with the power of your words!❤

      1. Thank you so much Jujubee! Trying logging out and then back with the url above, that should work, fingers crossed.

  6. Looks beautiful, but its sad that all of this hard work just to keep stupid people away.
    Its take all your time and effort to set this thing up but good point is now its hopefully protected!
    I hope it remains that way.
    See you stupid people… because of your foolishness… we loose out on re-reading wonderful stories like Revealed 🙁
    Support you though Jigs!
    Glad you r still going to continue with ur stories though Jigs 🙂

  7. Lol, that last bit made me chuckle. Sorry you have to keep going through this. I’ve read all of your work to-date, some of them more than once. I really appreciate the fact that you continue to write and share your words with us. I’m always on the look out for your tweets about updates, makes my day usually. I wait until I’m done with all of my work so i can read your writing and just be in another world without any worries. You’re the best, goodluck with the thieves going forward.

    loveandluck from IF

  8. Congrats on your gorgeous new home dearest Jigster! ^^
    A fresh space to host good friends and nurture the imagination.

    As we settle in, I hope you’ll remember that this will always hold true:
    “You’ll be my glass of wine and I’ll be your shot of whiskey” 😉

    Cheers!
    -K

    1. Thank you Sweetheart, I truly appreciate your support! It’s friends like you that make us not want to give up.

      And just like our favorite jodi… you and I, Hamesha!

  9. I am so sorry jigs for what is happening to your and many other writers stories. People just don’t understand that how brutal it is to plagiarize someone’s hard work. I can totally understand the feeling because I am the victim of this disgusting act. It hit me so hard that I couldn’t write for months. I just hope that People stop doing this disgusting plagiarizing because they can’t hide it for long. Truth always comes out one day and no one can save them from the embarassement they have to face.

    1. Exactly, truth prevails and us picking up our pens shows them that we are strong to never give up. We are better than them.

  10. Thank you for the note jigs! You do remember me right? Remember the creaky bed incident😂 Old IF Sharlini, now sobhan006… following you on twitter too…
    I’m so worried that you might not remember me😢
    Merry Christmas and happy new year jigs! Hope things will work better for you and the crazy fans in the next year!!!
    😘

  11. Hi jigs day I was so worried to see Temptation latest chapter closed 🙁

    But so nice to see this new sleek look this screams of ASR KKG kinda look😎

    Does it mean I’ll have to wait to read ASR and Dr Khushi 😢😦

    Why can’t idiots stay away from stealing 🤢😤 no shame not worth wasting my words but I hope you are doing the necessary things to kick the idiots out😈☺️

    Love from a crazy fan of your stories 🤗

  22. Hey Jigs….I was looking for this note. Sorry I already dropped you a PM as I could not find your blog. 😉
    Unfortunate that you have to do all this hard work just to keep away ill mannered wrong doers . Appreciate much all the hours you put in to share your talent giving us all a fabulous time living in this literary world created by you. I just log in and enjoy my time, definitely feel guilty at such moments fir just doing that, I assure you.
    Whenever you’re ready to take this forward, I will be waiting with hated breath. Meanwhile, thanks for making me a part of this journey and wishing you and your loved ones a great Holiday season ⛄🌌🎄

  23. Hi. A very beautiful new place you have made for yourself and for us to enjoy.
    I did visit this new place yesterday and was wondering why you have locked up everything. Well now I know. It’s really sad how some people, without even a slightest prick of conscience, take away others hard work.
    I wish you all the best and look forward to reading ‘temptation’ and more of your wonderful stories.
    Though patience is not one of my virtues, I shall still wait patiently for more from your end.

  24. Oops found the right place to comment! Again i am so sorry for this happening to you. Reallly annoyed with people who want to steal others hard work! I am happy to see its not stopping you. Wishing you and you family happy holidays and a happy new year! Will be around whenever you are ready 🙂

  25. Hi. I was trying to subscribe to email notification for updates on your blog, but each time that I opt for it a get a msg saying ‘ this email address has opted out of email subscription ‘ but I never did opt out. Is there an error or I need to do something at my end?

    1. You were probably already a subscriber from my original blog…. I would suggest logging out and back in to trying again.

  26. Thanks for the note..Sorry to know about this resent issue of plagiarism…Please do what is required to protect your hard work..
    Best wishes for the blog…
    Happy Holidays…
    Happy New year to you and your loved ones..

  27. Jigs, I have already left a comment on your note (unfortunately Iam not able to find it again but Iam sure it is there somewhere mixed among all the comments).
    I feel bad and sad to know that this is happening again and again jigs. Shame of these people.
    I fully respect your decision and Iam with you in whatever decision you make with regard to your stories
    Take care jigs
    I was in a short vacation to india for my dad’s eye surgery and hence missed the last two updates. When I came back and found some breathing space in AD, I checked the site and found that the site was protected. Initially I thought the issue was with WP, but then I understood the problem.
    I thought We, ur readers, r with you standing as a solid wall in front of you protecting you from such cheats but I think we failed again.

  28. Hoping fir the best for future as I really don’t have anything left to say which has not been already said by all others. I totally understand what you and other authors go through as we as a reader are so much angry and anguished , do your turmoil and helplessness is very well understood and well deserved.

  29. Jigs, its most frustrating and unfortunate thing to happen. I can imagine how much work this must have caused you. Do take your time and come back with a bang. Hope the thieves will not be able to steal any more.

  30. Hey jigs I didn’t get notifications for this post,even I didn’t get notifications for temptation n stripped last chapters

  31. Hi Jigs,

    You really needn’t apologise. This coming on the heels of the same plagarising happening to Jenny( Saffron fields) is really troubling. Where in the world did all the civility go……

    Take your time on protecting your stories. We’ll be waiting on the other end of the new year for you.

    Take care and also don’t forget to enjoy the rise of the new dawn

    Smita( crazyarshi)

  32. Hi Jigs,
    I happened to read your notes, and am absolutely saddened by these constant plagiarism attempts by disgusting people who do not respect the creative boundaries and fail to understand that someone’s work is their own, their hardwork, their thoughts and something which is personal and special for the writer.
    I have not been very regularly active when it comes to commenting, but I have been reading Temptation, and it is such a wonder. Moreover, Stripped is my all time favourite ArShi story and I cannot imagine what you would have gone through because of this blatant invasion of privacy. It is abhorring, to say the least.
    I am glad you have taken an action against this and made your work private, because even for me as a reader I can imagine no one but you as the writer of these wonderful stories.
    Also, the new blog/website looks great!🙂

  33. Thanks a lot for note Jigs, I really appreciate your courage and sending you virtual love n hugs. I was spitting venom towards those irritating criminals. Looking forward to read more n more stories. I will try my best to comment on each update but if I can’t , please forgive me.

    Happy New year to you and all beautiful girls.

  34. Beautiful home page.. Thanks for the note jigs..
    Will wait for update.. Love to read your every story..
    pran28671.

  35. Loved the new look. And I hope the problem with the ******gets sorted soon

    Wishing you a very happy and blessed new year in advance.

  36. Hey JIgs..

    I am really shocked by the number of plagiarism issues that have cropped up recently.. And I am more astounded by people’s guts to actually copy someone else’s stuff and present it as their own!! Shame on them seriously..

    But whatever be the issue, I and all of your faithful readers will stick to your decision. And I will wait for you to sort this out.. So that when you come back you won’t have to face any such issues.
    All the best..

    P.S. Also I had joined the email subscription for this blog Curiosity by Jigs but I don’t know why it is asking again for subscription. And when I enter my email id and click subscribe then it shows that this email id has opted out of email subscription.. Can you help regarding this?? As I really want to get email notifications.

    Lots Of Love.. 🙂 🙂

  37. Sorry to hear the mishaps….its really sad to hear on plagiarism. This is second time they hit on u Jig and u r dealing well. hope the player got to know u well and will rethink before stealing again.

    Loved the new look and settings.

  38. It is really shocking how people steal other people’s work and take credit for it. 😡😡😡😡😡. Really looking forward to reading your stories. I am also having same problem can’t access my account it keeps telling email opted out. And it’s such a shame about the plagiarism, because I just started reading TEMPTATION.

    1. Please try logging out then back in. For notifications, you can also follow me on twitter if you are there.

  39. Hello jigs
    This new home is very warm dear,

  54. Hey Jigs!!!
    Firstly so sorry to see this bull shit happening again and again with u. Hope whoever doing this rot in hell( my heartfelt wish for them). yesterday when I was eagerly waiting for ur stripped update and opened wp, I was surprised to not find any, so thought it might be an issue where I didn’t get notification. So, I opened ur stripped website and there to my astonishment I find the account to be private and the same happen to the temptation too… to say I was shocked would be small statement, if I were cartoon I would be like my eyes popped out and my ears would have releasing smoke..(little dramatic I know 😉 ) .Because there was no prior notification of u making ur ongoing stories private I was shocked and when I finally got my bearings back the first thought I remember was ur twitter account and I landed up there and finally gotta know the root of the problem… and in between all this I tried to send a request to follow and i’m very sorry to be the reason of inconvenience to u… ;-(
    Whatever action u take against to protect ur stories I’ll be there to support u through and through… I remember when revealed has faced the same problem I written a quote there and today I’ll still say the same to u.. “A million things can bring you down, but find the one reason to keep you up.” I hope u have that one strong reason to stand firm .
    In all this shit..just don’t give up on what you really what to do… and I really think i should stop writing before u throw me out.. 😉 and do remember one thing we’re going to give our full support to u..
    And as always we’ll be eagerly waiting for next chapter.. <3
    With love <3 and support

  55. Im sorry that I am reposting my comment as I hadn’t seen this link earlier in the Temptation site.

    Please don’t mind me saying that I was so glad to read this note.I suppose it was on sunday that I tried to access the blog and you can’t imagine how miserable I felt when I realized that there was no means for me to get it touch with you.

    Addressing the Plagiarism issue, I totally understand how you must be feeling and I so felt angry on that person who had done this to you and also when I couldn’t get through to you.Well these issues apart, I would suggest to go through all the available options before you can post the updates.I am sure all of us who value and love your work wouldn’t mind waiting.

    Love and support to you and your writing always.

    Take care dear and god bless.

    Regards,
    Shruthi

  56. Congrats on this
    Im waiting for updates
    Hope to read them soon
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you also

    Thanks for note😃
    Liked your new home 😃
    Tc😃

  59. I must be living under a rock, that I didn’t realize you’ve gone private. Well, with the incidents of theft making appearance every now and then, I wouldn’t blame you. More so, when you are the target. I feel sorry for you and other writers who have been a victim for this fraud. I guess we live in a world where shit is bound to happen and we should persist in protecting our assets, real or virtual.

    On a positive note, I really liked the make over. It’s splendid. Simple yet elegant. I can imagine the time that went into the making. Hope this move will restraint the stealer’s moves.

    Happy Holidays!!

  60. Sorry to hear ur stories are being stolen again..
    Awesome new blog..
    Wld be waiting for temptation and stripped updates!!

    Merry Christmas and wish you happy new year!!

  61. Hey Jigs!!!
    Firstly I’m so sorry to see this happening again and again with you, whoever doing this have to rot in the hell (my heartfelt wish for them).
    Yesterday I was eagerly waiting for ur stripped update and thinking this I opened WP but to my surprise there is no update from u, so I though it might be an issue where I
    didn’t get any notification so I thought to open ur stripped website but to my astonishment I find website private and the same has happen to temptationtoo.. to say i was shocked would be least.
    because there is no prior notification from you which I’m aware of and so I was astonished to see that. If I were a cartoon my eyes would have been popped out and my ears would be releasing smoke( little dramatic I know.. 😉 ).
    When I finally got my bearings back the first thing that lit my brain was ur twitter account and I immediately landed there, and there I got know what the shit has happen… And in between all this I tried to send a request to allow and i’m really very sorry
    to be the reason of ur inconvenience… 🙁
    Jigs whatever decision u take regarding ur stories remember one thing u’ll have my full support through and through. I remembered when the same thing has happen at the time of Revealed
    I have written a quote saying that… “A million things can bring you down, but find one reason to keep you up.” I’ll still say the same thing, I hope you have that one reason to keep u strong and firm.
    In all this shit.. don’t ever give up what you really want to do… before u throw me out(virtually though.. 😉 ) I’ll stop here. Always remember there is a crazy person out there to give her full support to u HAMESHA.. 😉
    love <3
    -Sandy
    PS: please ignore this comment if its been posted already, I don't know whether the comment is getting posted or not..

  62. Thanks a lot for adding me here.
    It’s a beautiful new start and hope it stays like this always.
    And wish all the cheaters and buggerz stay miles away from here.
    Will be waiting for temptation reloaded and till then will be relishing your os

    thanks for the note..Happy holidays and happy new year jigs..will stalk this website for the progress news…

    take care…if id kushiarnav1.

  64. A victim of the same leech that goes by the fancy name – plagiarism – I completely understand your angst.

    While the repetition of this crime leaves me with a pained sigh and a grit jaw, yet once again – knowing quite well, that no matter how many measures and precautions we take up, some or the other sickeningly clever person finds out a way to leisurely copy – not just the work – the words that is has – but also the essence of it…brings back the still raw memories of one such painful time I had been through too.

    It makes me glad that you continue to write. And not give up. Coz no matter how justified the reason a writer would put forth, it would seem like a failure (almost)

    And for that bravery, there, I appreciate you. Bravo.

    And its pretty obvious that I thankyou. Gratefully so. For letting us walk through your story of ArShi. A rather stunningly mesmerizing one.

    Temptation…in every way is tempting. Truly living upto its name. Its like this one new delicacy you’ve stumbled upon on a gloomy winter evening and you now cant walk by that road without stopping by at that shop, buy that candy and devour it.

    Temptation is..beautifully addictive.

    I understand the pain. Almost as if one’s own child is being claimed for, even though illegally, but still claimed and put forth. I understand.

    Must admit, I have been an anonymous reader and an overall commentator of your previous two works. Which, let me repeat are : Commendably amazing.

    But now, I just wanted to tell you, in person (as much as this virtual realm allows) that…your decision is fair on all parts. And justified too.

    My support, love and warm wishes – packed up and sent to you!

    Love&Hugs.

    1. Thank you for your encouraging word, and sorry for having gone through this yourself. It isn’t easy at all…

      It’s most definitely painful seeing what we work so hard to produce, displayed elsewhere. The same words, even the note that I end my updates, then the banners… but that’s when I refuse to back away. And will continue to go at them, I have always been a fighter, so I guess I just can’t sit back and play the helpless victim card. What helps is the support and love from the readers, some who have become great friends. It is because of them, that I continue to share my work.

      Hope you also continue to keep the ink of your pen flowing! All the best!

Curious to know what you think...
