#stolen fics

[fandomfluffandfuck]

Hey hey! I'm trying to spread the word because unfortunately the stories have been stolen from a variety of ships and I can't track them all down.

https://www.wattpad.com/1122388642-marvel-smut-welcome

This is a massive collection of Marvel ship fanfiction stolen from AO3. And I mean massive. 46 stories in total.

Ships include:

Stucky Stony Starker Stuckony Thorki

And a lot more. I'm trying to track down the authors as we speak but if you could please help me to spread the word and reach out to people it would make getting it removed so much easier.

Ugh, this is why we can't have nice things 🙃

Thank you for letting me know, though! I'll be sure to check for any fics I recognize to have things set right.

the way that @hajunzi also stole from yet ANOTHER person???? 😭😭 the problem is that this author’s been inactive since october so no-ones been able to reach them about it, but it should still be mentioned bc it was STOLEN like everyone elses…

this girls actually so weird not a single thing in her masterlist is an original work

Unfortunately there are some people who do this. I'm really not one for discourse/calling out, and this situation has just felt like at thorn on my side -.- but I do think that stealing people's work is enough reason to call them out for it. Especially when I noticed that she copied and pasted my entire fic. I wanted to boost it because I wanted other authors to be aware of what was going on in case their works might also be on there.

It's just blatantly clear at this point that all of hajunzi's works are stolen. This is now what, the fifth fic on their m.list that someone has pointed out to me? My problem with people like this account is that they are stealing for what? some likes? for a follower count? they don't realize that by doing this they just deeply hurt creators whose works they poured so much love and pride into.

They haven't responded to anybody and at this point I think the only thing we can do is report the blog (which I have done). If you do the see any works stolen I would just say to report the blog moving forward x

Do you know the author's NotUnusual and/or CrissColferL0ve? If so . .can you give them a heads up that this "writer" seems to be taking other people's work, changing names and reposting them as "remakes". I know for a fact that one of the author's did not give her permission and that her story was just lifted, word for word and only the characters names were changed.

I think its a shame and I know people steal crap all the time - but I admire so many writers for their hard work and creativity to just plagiarize someone else's story and try to pass it off as a remake -when all you did was just change the names - that's just not right.

If you're going to be that goddamn lazy, just plug a story idea into AI and have the app write it for you - don't take anyone else's work that they spent hours working on.

Watch out for this on Ff.net, stealing of other peoples’ work.

hii <3 there's a new fic, on the derek morgan x reader tag called "home is where the homo is", which is a damn near replica of one of your derek morgan fics, just thought i should let you know.

Thank you so much for letting me know, anon!

It was a literal copy-paste situation, save for one or two sentences they added in to change it to a male-reader.

I've messaged @theseventhdimension and I think they've removed the fic but have now blocked me.

It is extremely disheartening seeing someone take your work - one that has your hard work, effort, and a little piece of yourself, and pass it off as their own.

If you write for criminal minds, please be aware!

If anyone sees such things happen again, would always appreciate you letting me (or any other writer this has happened to) know.

Much love to you, anon! World needs more people like you. Thank you!

Stolen fics

Guys, do ever learn?

How many times must writers/artists/GIF makers tell you to not repost = steal their work? Why not reblog the story/GIF/image you like?

A nice follower brought to my attention today that someone stole my story Rut.

Thank you again, hun.🥰 I would've never found out my story got stolen.

Not just the trope/idea. They copied and paste the whole story, only changing the names, (because they stole it for a different fandom), and lines here and there.

The user deactivated their account after I called them out via pm. Coward!

What angers me the most is the fact, they put this on the story they stole from me:

They apologize for the bad smut but stole the whole story from me?

And then, they have the audacity to warn other readers to not steal, copy or rewrite the story they stole from me!!!

Looks at this...it would've been easier to mark the parts they didn't steal from my story.😫 Proof under the cut.

Blue is their story posted in March 2023, and green is the one I posted on October 2021.

I think they believed no one will recognize my story because they stole it for the Avatar fandom...☹☹

I got tired after taking so many screenshots. Let's say they stole the last lines to end their story from my story with Sam Winchester too.

I mean, come on. I like to stop a conversation mid-sentence or mid-word when someone is surprised/shocked etc. They even stole this...

You could've at least tried to rewrite my shit a little, don't you think?

[betzabobababi]

Just found out some of yall are enjoying my "broken" series so much you stole it and finished the series lol

Kindly delete it.

It's my work. Yes I know I only have like 4 chapter out (prob less) but that's what I love about being a writer. The fact I can take my time writing a story I love, and yall are making my process feel like it's worthless. You're making me feel like I need to hurry up just so you guys don't steal MY hard work

So please, I'm begging you, delete it.

Fic Re-Posts

It was brought to my attention that my entire Secret Santa Top Gun story was copied and posted on wattpad.

I have made a comment for them to remove it, but I recognized at least one other fic that I THINK is yours @fanboygarcia (here is the story I saw, I hope it's yours otherwise I can't remember who's it was , I just know I've read it)

They do state in the title and description of the book that the fics are not theirs. BUT I certainly did not give them permission, so I doubt they asked anyone else if they could repost their fics. And they also do not provide proper credit to any of the authors.

They have not only Top Gun fics, but also Tmnt and Star Wars. The book is linked here; their username is Cadelonimbus

They may have other books as well with stories taken from tumblr as well.

Stolen Fanfics on Amazon

Hey fandom lovelies, a commenter on Bridge of Scars alerted me that someone has stolen that fic and put it up on Amazon to sell. I will be contacting Amazon after I get off work to get it taken down, but it looks like I’m not the only one. They have Teen Wolf and other stolen fandom works for sale, as well. If you could, take a look and see if you recognize any of the fics and contact those authors so they can get them taken down as well. If you don’t, please signal boost this so other fic authors can check.

I know this happens all the time but it’s the first it’s ever happened to me and it feels violating as hell.

Here is a link to the series they published my story under, I’ve not had a chance to do more than glance through them:

[welcometohell09]

So. I just had one of my fics stolen and posted to YouTube and I am. FUCKING PISSED. Thank FUCK for Copy Kight letting me know, or I would have had no idea. Bless their heart.

I had to file a DMCA request, which is TERRIFYING if you have very little experience with legal systems and are trying to find accurate information on what to do online without contacting legal representation (I have my reasons; I did wind up getting support from a trusted person, though). I can imagine it being so much worse for people who don't have any support; imagine being a 14/15 year old trying to deal with that without letting parents know what's going on. Like, shit.

I'll be taking the fic down after the request goes through, which SUCKS because it's one of my best fics and I'm extremely proud of how far its gone and how many people have enjoyed it, but that fic has already gotten attention from legally-greyish-podficcers before and I'm not dealing with this shit again.

Report this person. They've been stealing and reposting fics from ao3 onto ff.net

“prank” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 234 words

Regulus is sitting in a secluded alcove on the far side of the courtyard when James finds him.

“Do you mind if I sit here?” James asks, gesturing to the spot across from Regulus.

“Why?” Regulus narrows his eyes skeptically.

“Because this is a nice place to read, and I’d like to sit with you.” James smiles.

“Is this a prank?” Regulus glares at James. “You’ll sit here and distracted me then my brother will jump out and do something ridiculous?”

“No.” James shakes his head with a sweet smile. “Not a prank. I just want to sit with you.” He shrugs and Regulus continues to glare. “I’ll be quiet, I promise.” James adds.

“Fine.” Regulus sighs after a moment.

James smiles at Regulus, and it’s bright and beautiful and Regulus feels like he could melt.

Then the most unexpected thing happens. James sits in the alcove across from Regulus, takes out a book and reads quietly and… nothing happens. No pranks, no brothers, just comfortable silence.

They read for a while and Regulus can’t help stealing small glances at James. At one point, Regulus looks up and James is already looking back. James smiles sweetly and Regulus bites his lip to try and hide his own smile. They gaze at each other for several moments before turning back to their books.

They continue to read and… nothing happens. But Regulus also feels like something might be happening.

Unfortunately, I am here to add on to this.

An anon brought to my attention that someone had copied my Derek Morgan fic. @theseventhdimension had taken my entire fic, added 1-2 sentences and then posted it as if they had written it.

The link to my fic is here

And here is the Morgan fic he posted

I have reached out to him to take it down, which he did but now he has blocked me.

If you write for criminal minds, especially Hotch/Spencer/Derek, please be aware and careful!

This is extremely disheartening. Writing isn't just about putting words on paper, there's a part of every writer in each fic they put out, and having someone just take it like this to pass off as their own? I'm speechless.

Thank you once again to the anon who brought this to my attention!

Hello guys not a fun post to be making today but it has been brought to my attention that is user @theseventhdimension who has now blocked me, has been copying fics and partly changing them to pass them off as their own. Here’s the receipts!

This is my fic here

And here’s the opening to there’s

I did give this user a chance to take the post down and this is what they said just before blocking me

Please be careful guys and check this persons account in case any of your fics have also been copied. They’re posting almost completely criminal minds fics with hotch, Reid and Morgan so if you write for any of these is double check just in case. Sadly this isn’t the first time this has happened to me and probably won’t be the last. Any other extra info on this person to let me know!

Also thank you @deanstead for showing me this!!

Here's some fanart of “What was stolen”! My good friend @beeextraordinary123's medieval fantasy Sonamy fic that I've been reading 🦔⚔️👑

(Here's the snippet i based this painting on cuz I really like it!!):

and here are some doodles and small paintings to test designs !! ( note: these designs have been updated!!)

You can read the fic in AO3 , Just a heads up tho: Audience is teens and up and Amy and most of the characters are +20 yrs old in this fic,so while It doesn't have anything NSFW or explicit in it,some scenes are steamy.Thought i'll mention it in case that sort of thing makes anyone awkward and/or prefers to avoid it.

[holylulusworld]

I'm sorry that person stole your fic! Someone stole one of my stories last year, changed a few sentences, and then posted it like it was hers. At least your person deactivated the account, my thief stood her ground and acted like she didn't do anything wrong. 😔

I wish people would stop plagiarizing other people's fics, it sucks.

I'm sorry to hear you had the same issues, hun.

They could at least admit their mistake (crime). But acting like they did nothing wrong is 1000% worse.

That person even was on my tag list...

It sucks that you can't trust people to not steal your shit. We share our work for free. The least you can do is not steal it.

If she would've asked me if she can use the "idea/plot/trope" but write her own story (using her own words) to put the setting in a different fandom. This would've been a completely different thing.

But she went: oh, yeah, I add a warning to my story, telling people not to steal it; but I take Lulu's whole story, only changing the name of the main char and a few lines. Tada, I get 1,2 k notes with a stolen fic.

[goodoldfashionedengineer]

Tim is the kind of person that thinks "Alvin Draper" is an unoriginal fake name.

Jason is the kind of person that chooses "John Doe" as a fake name and goes "yeah, that works".

ATTENTION: User Elv1sPresl3y on Wattpad is STEALING OUR ONE-SHOTS!!

It's been brought to my attention that another thief is out there on Wattpad taking credit for eTumblr's amazing creators and their work. (Thanks @mrsniallhoran505 for letting me know.) User Elv1sPresl3y is stealing Austin, A!Elvis and Elvis oneshots and calling them their own.

Now, y'all organized and took down my thief in record time, so let's go 'ride or die' for our community once again! However it sounds like this thief is proving more elusive, so I think a targeted approach might get more results, since it sounds like some of you have been suffering with this for a while. Messaging Elv1sPresl3y has NOT been effective and sounds like it will only get you blocked.

Let's help our creators out by:

REBLOGing this post

If you are a writer/reader, check Elv1sPresl3y on Wattpad and let us know in the comments of this post if your/someone's work has been stolen (or who's stories have been stolen if you read them). Let us know which specific stories are yours!

REPORT on Wattpad once we have specific tumblr authors to defend.

Check the comments on this post periodically and then COMMENT on THE SPECIFIC STORIES in the collection of stolen ones to let those readers know that story is stolen from "@ name" on Tumblr. Keep comments on Wattpad clean and specific (it looks like ones that include cussing/ranting are flagged & may get removed!)

Message Elv1sPresl3y's FOLLOWERS on Wattpad to let them know they are actively following someone who is stealing other author's works. I would recommend keeping it clean and to the point so you don't get blocked or flagged.

Messaging Elv1sPresl3y has NOT been effective and sounds like it will only get you blocked, so I would NOT interact with them one on one.

If anyone else has ideas, please let us know! I am so, so sorry to all the writers who've had their work stolen by this thief!

Let's show them once again that the Elvis & Austin fandoms are the best fandoms and try get this shit shut down! What pisses me off even more is that they are ranked #1 in Austin stories. I've included some screenshots of one of the "collections" they've posted, but please go check for yourselves.

WE RIDE OR DIE FOR THE ETUMBLR COMMUNITY!! Don't mess with us.

I hope you don't mind, but I'm using my taglist and just tagging some peeps just to make sure this post gets traction! @powerofelvis @aconflagrationofmyown @troubleinapinksuit @karamelcoveredolicity
