#stolen fics

[blkkizzat]

how to successfully report and remove your stolen fic on c.ai:

aka don't use fics for c.ai bots... a story of a c.ai creator who fucked around & found out:

for any other author who gets their shit stolen by ai bots on c.ai this is what you need to do:

create an c.ai account

submit a support ticket

choose DMCA & Counter Notice as the issue

under "additional information" you must provide the following: — a description of your fic that is being infringed (where you published it, date, where you post, under what names, etc) — a description of the bot that is infringing your work (include name of bot, what parts it is infringing and author's name at minimum). — a statement that you are the copyright holder have not authorized use of your property/fic in this manner nor given it to the author of the bot.

you will have to give your contact info including your full legal name, address and telephone number

provide the link to your original work (where you published it first) and the link to the bot.

Attachments (up to 5 allowed): — IMPORTANT: make sure at least one of these attachments is an electronic signature using your full legal name. i used this site to get one for free (i attached both signed and typed). — the other attachments I used to show proof of my fic vs their bot and the exact word for word similarities. and also when they blatantly said they were reuploading the bot on their profile which is likely why c.ai banned the rest of their bots.

extra tips:

if your ticket submission is successful you will get an email with a ticket number.

c.ai is pretty responsive (1-2 business days) so i would give it that long before submitting a new ticket.

you must submit EVERYTHING as I have wrote it or they will ask you to resubmit an entirely new ticket. following up with missing info did not work.

if the bot gets reuploaded you still have to submit an entirely new ticket (make sure to save and reference your old ticket number in new ticket).

everything i wrote here can be found under their tos in the DMCA section

hope this helps others authors. feel free to inbox or msg with any questions.

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.

[Link] to the wattpad story of the stolen fics

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.

[peachsayshi]

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.

[deanstead]

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.

[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.

[pirozhkiparty]

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

[deanstead]

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!!

“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.

ghost who was chemically castrated by roba and soap who wants to help him to regain his sexual autonomy

nsfw, angst, roba, unnegotiated unsafe but consensual gun play, hopeful ending

💀🧼

ghost walks like it hangs low.

there’s a tilt to his hips and a spread in his thighs and johnny’s never been able to stop staring.

and ghost’s never asked him to.

he knows he’s seen him; he’s not exactly discreet. he swears he’s even seen him cock his hips out before to give him a better view. but he always pulls back just as they toe the line; verbal cold water on the tentative heat they almost can’t help but spark when they’re together.

it’s never a no; johnny’s not so selfish of a cunt that he’d push when he knows he isn’t welcome. it’s always a reluctance; an “i wish i could,” never in so many words. an open ended “but…” as ghost circles the reason without ever actually saying it. johnny knows it’s something personal, something more than a difference in rank could ever excuse.

so he backs off when ghost does, jokes instead of flirts and holds his breath through the agonising wait until ghost lets him in close again. waits to know if he’ll let him close again.

it’s almost anticlimactic, the end of their dance; his delicate steps and looping logic to work out why bulldozed as ghost comes out and says one random night, “i can’t fuck.”

it’s not bitter. it doesn’t grate coming out of his throat; he doesn’t spit it like it’s something to be ashamed, not twisted with insecurity as if it’s an accusation by an ex.

it’s a statement of fact.

“you can’t fuck,” johnny echoes anyway because even if it is the reason, the big why… it still doesn’t really answer anything.

“i can’t get it up,” he elaborates, this horrid blankness in his eyes like he’s reading from a script. “whatever you’re looking for, whatever you want- i can’t give it to you.”

johnny just looks at him, the chill air prickling his skin. “right,” he nods calmly. “because my interest in you starts and ends with your dick.”

that blank calm shatters. “johnny…” he warns.

“do you really think i’m that shallow?” he cuts in, curing himself for the way his voice breaks but he never thought ghost would think so low of him; that this whole time, ghost’s thought that’s the only thing he wants from him. “like i’d take you for a ride ‘n just drop you?”

“there’s a difference between not gettin’ it for one night and never gettin’ it at all,” ghost growls, turning his back on him to lean against the edge of the roof. his shoulders heave and the anger seeps from him in one long breath. “it’s not a hitch, johnny. not a performance issue or ptsd or whatever the fuck you’re thinkin’. it’s permanent. irreversible.”

irreversible.

johnny stops, cold creeping up his limbs and dousing his defensive anger. ghost is many things and when it comes to his words, chief amongst them all is deliberate. he didn’t say it’s unfixable. incurable.

irreversible.

johnny buries his selfish hurt and scuffs his boots, an unobtrusive warning of movement, and comes up beside him; just enough distance between them to catch their breaths. he leans back against the ledge and looks over the opposite side of the roof at the dark sky.

“mexico,” he murmurs. not an accusation. not even really a question but ghost collapses in on himself anyway; sinking into his crossed arms digging into the ledge.

“mexico,” he agrees just as quietly. “‘pparently, roba found it more entertaining to let me keep it but- cut the cords. more demeaning that way; cock’s gone, at least you don’t feel the urge. don’t have to look at the fuckin’ thing hang there when nothin’ fuckin’ works.

“it’s not ‘bout how i see you, johnny,” ghost promises and it’s almost apologetic. “but you like sex. eventually, you’ll want it. and i can’t give it to you. easier to just… not let it get to that point.”

johnny’s jaw flexes. everything in him wants to reject it, wants to protest that something as trivial as an orgasm is more important to him than ghost.

but he also knows words are useless here.

they stand there looking out into the gathering dark, tense silence hanging between them, and the only thing johnny knows is if he isn’t careful, he could lose the one person he cares about most.

💀🧼

ghost’s been uneasy since his abrupt confession.

he knows it was sudden, borderline cruel to dump his shit on johnny with no warning but he just couldn’t take it anymore; couldn’t take the back and forth when he knew it would never go anywhere, couldn’t take johnny’s hope when he knew he’d have to watch it twist into disgust and pity.

into disappointment.

he figures that’s the end of it; there’ll be no more flirting now, no more staring or heated looks, no more teasing him by spreading his knees out just to see the flash of hunger in his eyes. the control he felt playing with johnny knowing it was welcome, just because he could- he’ll never feel that again. not now that johnny knows the truth.

then he steps into his room to find johnny laying naked on his bed.

he’s not spread out like an offering, not throwing him some cheap sultry glance as he plays with himself. he’s not even hard; his cock limp over the cradle of his balls, his legs bent loosely together, arms under his head as if he’s settling down for the night.

ghost sighs and shuts the door behind him. “johnny…”

“i know,” johnny says and it’s gentle; not cutting him off, just getting his attention. “just… hear me out?”

there’s nothing else to say. there’s nothing johnny can say or do to fix his violated body. but ghost still crosses his arms and leans back against the door like he can anyway.

johnny pushes himself up and off the bed, closing the distance between them but still giving him enough space to breathe; to open the door behind him, to escape.

“i can never know what was taken from you,” he starts and ghost’s fingers dig into his arms. “i can never know what it means to you. and i can never get it back.”

he doesn’t break eye contact and slowly lowers himself to his knees. “but i can give you something else.”

“you?” ghost guesses flatly and as much as it warms his blood, as much as he’s imagined having johnny look up at him just like this… it’s still not enough to offset the sickening swoop in his gut when his cock doesn’t so much as twitch.

“i’m a nice bonus,” johnny purrs but his smile remains gentle. “but i’m not the main event.”

he lifts a hand and ghost readies to smack it away when he reaches for his thigh holster instead of his belt. he flicks the closing strap open and pulls his handgun, his favourite, free.

“you told me you can’t fuck,” he murmurs, popping out the clip. he taps it against the side and loads it back in with a practiced hit with the butt of his palm. “but fucking isn’t all there is.”

“johnny, what…” ghost starts just to cut himself off as johnny thumbs off the safety and loads a round into the chamber.

“you trust me?” johnny asks and it’s as loaded as the gun in his hand.

good then, that ghost knows the answer. “always have.”

johnny’s smile blooms with warmth, with pride, and it chases away any reluctance he could possibly feel. he lets him take his hands in his, wrapping them around the gun with his finger on the trigger guard. he brings the barrel up beside his temple, holding it steady before his hands fall away.

until it’s only ghost between him and a bullet.

johnny’s hands go to his belt, his movements slow enough for ghost to stop him long before he reaches his cock, forever hanging limp in his pants. but he just rubs the muzzle along his temple, almost nuzzling him with the gun as he pulls down his jeans and boxers.

he waits for johnny to take him in hand, maybe try and pantomime a handy, and his hips almost recoil at the thought.

but he doesn’t try to touch him.

instead, he takes his wrist and guides the gun to sit in front of his cock; angling it to follow the same slight curve he has then holds his hands behind his back like he’s standing at attention. he splays his knees wide, sinking deeper and ghost sucks in a harsh breath as johnny ducks under the gun; his eyes locked on his as he curls his tongue under the barrel and brings it into his mouth.

it takes every ounce of will he has to not let his hand shake around the gun as johnny gives it the slowest, messiest blowjob he’s ever seen; slowly rising higher on his knees, guiding the gun up with him as if it’s his cock hardening. his cheeks hollow as he sucks, tongue laving up the barrel and flicking out to play with the muzzle like a cockhead, moaning with every bob of his head until saliva drips off the metal and makes a mess of his chin.

ghost’s never felt so powerful as he does watching johnny hang off the end of his gun; watching his cock harden and drool between his legs without a single touch, knowing he could pull the trigger at any time and johnny would not only let him but he’d thank him.

the thought breaks him from his paralysis, drawing the gun from his lips and johnny immediately stills; rolling his wide eyes up like he’s trying to check on him. ghost pushes every ounce of heat into his gaze and cocks the gun to the side, slowly pushing it back in until johnny’s lips meet the trigger guard.

johnny whines as he fucks his mouth, thrusting his hips along with each long drag like the gun is an extension of his body; almost too rough as tears prick his eyes and his lips redden and bruise but he never asks him to stop; his cock leaking a puddle on the floor beneath him.

“you gonna cum for me, johnny?” ghost croons, holding back a groan when just his voice is enough to make him shiver. “gonna cum with my fucking gun down your throat?”

he gives a broken whimper, as close to an agreement as he can make, and ghost crowds in close. he grips the base of his mohawk, wrenching his head back until his throat is flush to the front of his thigh. johnny lets out a choked cry, eyes rolling back and he doesn’t hold back as he brutally fucks his face; feeling the bulge of his gun in his throat against his leg.

“come on, johnny; you wanna be my good little holster?” he growls and makes sure he’s watching as his finger moves from the guard to the trigger. “then take my fucking load.”

he forces the gun as deep as he can and johnny gags, his shaking body locking up as he cums untouched; painting the floor and ghost’s boot, cock twitching and pulsing hard enough to bump against his belly and leave a string of cum threading from it to his cock.

ghost watches him spasm and moan, his throat convulsing around the gun and a heated knot of satisfaction tightens in his gut; so close to the memory of an orgasm, he’s almost dizzy with it.

johnny slumps forward, his hands slipping from behind his back, and ghost quickly flicks the safety back on and drops to his knees. he slides the gun away and pulls johnny forward to collapse into his chest, taking his weight off his knees; his whole body trembling with aftershocks.

“you’re crazy, johnny,” ghost whispers, awed, and feels him smile against his chest.

“aye,” he agrees, voice raspy from his gun scraping up his throat. “how else am i supposed to prove that i mean it?”

ghost tries not to tense up; tries not to let hope sink its cruel roots into his chest. “mean it?”

johnny pulls back, his cheeks still flushed and sticky with spilled tears. “i’m yours, ghost; in any and every way you’ll have me,” he promises. “sex or no sex. this can never happen again and i’ll still never stop wanting you. it doesn’t matter to me as much as you do. you’re everythin’ to me, ghost. not your body; not what you can give me. just you.”

a knot crowds in his throat. “and you needed to deep throat my pistol to prove that?” he deflects.

and just like always, johnny lets him. “worked, didn’t it?” he winks. “you fucked my brains out.”

ghost rolls his eyes to hide the softness he knows is flooding them and helps johnny up and gets him into his shower; cleaning him of the sweat and cum and spit covering his body.

that ghost covered his body in.

his chest hitches at the reminder as he strips himself down to a single layer and all but falls into bed, tugging johnny in after him when he hesitates just slightly at the edge of the bed; splaying his still naked body over him, sated and loose.

“i really do mean it,” johnny whispers into the crook of his neck sometime later; when their breaths have settled and synced.

ghost sweeps his fingers up and down the length of his spine, skin he’s never seen. skin he now knows every inch of. “i know you do,” he whispers back.

and for once, he thinks it might be enough.

Hello! I left this as a comment on the ao3 story in question (Leap of Faith by you and alighterwood) but I figured I'd send it on tumblr too just in case you don't check your comments over there.

I recently found out someone reuploaded one of my fics without permission or credit from ao3 to fanfiction.net and noticed their whole profile is full of other reuploads I can only assume they didn't ask for permission to reupload either and unfortunately Leap of Faith is one of those :/

I had to Google search chunks of the writing to track down where the fic originally came from bc this user intentionally changes titles (in this case, removing the spaces as well as the A from leap, leaving it as lepoffaith) and does not include the original author's name on their reupload. Here's the link to the reupload: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/14352736/1/lepoffaith

I've left reviews on the reupload of my own fic a few times asking them to take it down to no avail, but I figure maybe if more authors also ask them then they'll have to do it.

Mentioned this in the ao3 comment I left too, but if you don't feel comfortable clicking a link from some rando in ur ask box just shoot me a DM and I'll send you screenshots of the reupload!

alright so that's just GREATTTT isn't it?? thank you for letting us know! truly the amount of fics they have reuploaded is insane. i went ahead and sent an email to fanfic.net's support letting them know the situation. hopefully they do something about it soon. the idea that they do this for text to speech is honestly ridiculous (as said in their bio).

so... to anyone who is looking for a text to speech app to listen to LoF: there is a free app called "Evie" that I know of for samsung phones. you can find it on google play. there are also other apps that let you do this (make sure not to use AI!!). i'm sure you can find one. uploading fics onto another website is not the way to go and is super disrespectful

just a reminder to everyone: i ONLY post LoF on ao3. if you see it on another website, it is not me. DO NOT go harass anyone. just help get it taken down if you spot it by contacting the website and letting me know. this goes for other fics as well! fic authors are doing this for free, and stealing content is never okay.

this also goes for if you're reading ao3 on an app... there is no app for ao3. you should not be getting ads on ao3. it is a website. free yourself.

[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.
