Just found out Robin and Steve's Epic Platonic Soulmate Mixtape got uploaded to Scribd without my permission 😞 just to be clear I only upload fics to Tumblr and ao3, both under the name Findafight! I'm going to try to figure out how to report it and get it taken down. I know I'm not the only stranger things fics writer who has had their fics uploaded there. It sucks! Hopefully we can report and get them taken down.

GOOGLE YOUR FICS

In the past couple of months I've found the entirety of Leo Inter Serpentes has been stolen and reposted on Wattpad and Scribd. Wattpad was great when I report the theft, and took them all down within like twelve hours. 10/10 for the complaints staff at Wattpad Still waiting for Scribd to even acknowledge my report, let alone do anything about it. Their entire site seems to be riddled with stolen fics as well as stolen published works. They also monetise it, so probably breaking a few fair use laws with that one So please, please search your fics to see if they've been reposted anywhere. And maybe consider locking your AO3 fics to members only, in the hopes that that might at least minimise the chances of them being stolen

Oh dear. That's not the right title.

Found out that the Magic Book of Spells has a pdf available on scribd. An account is needed to download the file but it is free to read. The screenshots also include translations to the Low-Mewmian. Not everything is in the file (ex: Jushtin’s chapter is missing) but there is a decent amount there.

I told him I couldn't betray my kingdom. "You've already done that by loving me," he said.

A single line from Eclipsa's chapter got to me. This is the kind of star-crossed lovers plot I just crave.

First (or should I say fur-st) book of the month.

I found this on Scribd — it’s an early script draft for the musical version of Spring Awakening; said draft bears a lot of similarities to the original play.

The truest sign that I need mental help is that Everand removed two of my comfort novels from their app and during my wait to see if this a glitch and if they'll appear suddenly after I make my payment this month, I am experiencing a withdrawal and let out a deep sigh of relief when I played a sample of it on audible

scribd was beautiful and perfect and a total lifeline for me for almost a decade. and then it became everand last fall. and now it sucks ass. they took so many audiobooks away from me. ones i had wanted to read and ones i loved to revisit.. it feels like the tore down my personal library and replaced it with cardboard.

A Worthwhile Experience - Scribd Free Trial Review

Ease of Signup and Interface: Signing up for the Scribd free trial was a breeze. The registration process was straightforward and didn't require excessive personal information. The platform's interface is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and find content.

Content Variety: One of the most impressive aspects of Scribd is the sheer variety of content it offers. From e-books and audiobooks to magazines and documents, there's something for everyone. I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive collection across various genres and subjects.

Reading Experience: I primarily used the free trial to access e-books and audiobooks. The reading experience was smooth, and the option to switch between reading and listening was a great feature. The interface allows for customizable settings like font size and background color, enhancing the reading comfort.

Offline Access: Scribd allows users to download content for offline reading, which is incredibly convenient, especially for travelers or those with limited internet access.

Limitations of the Free Trial: While the Scribd free trial provides a taste of the platform's offerings, it's important to note that some popular titles might be restricted or require a paid subscription. Additionally, the free trial is limited to a specific duration, so exploring the entire collection might not be possible during this time.

Recommendation: Overall, I found the Scribd free trial to be a valuable experience for anyone who loves reading and exploring various forms of written content. It's an excellent opportunity to sample the platform's offerings and determine whether a subscription aligns with your reading habits. If you're a frequent reader, the paid subscription might be well worth the investment to access an even broader range of materials.

Final Thoughts: Scribd's free trial left a positive impression on me. It's a platform that caters to the needs of diverse readers, offering an impressive selection of content. While there are some limitations to the trial, it's a great way to dip your toes into what Scribd has to offer. Whether you're into fiction, non-fiction, self-help, or academic resources, Scribd has the potential to become a valuable addition to your reading routine.

did i really just subscribe to spotify & scribd just to listen to audiobooks without me even knowing if i can pay for the bills sustainably when i can't even pay for my premiums and insurance 🥹🤣

me when i finally pressed the Pay button: "this is an investment"

my guardian angel at the corner of the room: *disappointed but not surprised* "investment for what?? *facepalm*

So, my fellow self-publishing folks, one of the bigger sites being used to train chatbots is Scribd. I’m thisclose to taking all my books down from there, because I did not consent to this.

Remember them being the pipeline to ebook theft? Remember the whole Inktera/Page Foundry bowdlerization thing? I have difficulty seeing Scribd as any kind of an innocent actor here.

ETA: Guess who else has been feeding the chatbots without creatives' consent! Patreon and Kickstarter.

So that's fun.

Inspiration

... comes from many places.

It does.

One never knows for certain which thought to pay attention to. After-all, most of them are pure rubbish. Just their presence in your mind is wasting more time than they could possibly be worth. They should be ignored immediately, dissuaded from their efforts grab the attention that comes with consideration.

Inspiration.

Occasionally you have time with the source and take away that little bit of ... wow.

And the questions begin. Who is this person? Yes, this little bit of inspiration, pestering me for several days now, comes from a person. I was exposed to this contagion by "listening" to one of this person's books. Their second book ... who is this person? Publishing this second book at 21? Who does that happen to?

Not me. Never me. Never will be me.

First off, the main male character's alias is to die for. Did I think of that when I assumed the fantum alias. back in the day? No. And not since either. I would use it now but I have some small sense of pride, and some direct training and practice regarding plagiarism.

And it would probably require a five digit numerical suffix to get by the "already in use" parameter restrictions.

The inspiration bit I am purloining from the story, is the use of Tumblr as a blog. I had to Google a "how-to"... and here we are.
