FANFIC THIEF FYI! PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST!
If you have an LJ where you have posted fanfic, GO HERE and in the search to the right look up your user name.
Whoever this is, they are using a bot to copy and post all public LJ entries with the tags they’re after. I've gone and made all my stuff on LJ either Private or Friends-Only. Sorry for any inconvenience, but you can find me on AO3 and FF.net, still, under my EbonyKain nom de plume.
Now, the… vaguely good news. There is a person behind this fiasco and if you complain about it, they’ll remove your stuff, or so it seems. GO HERE to complain.
PLEASE, even if you don’t have anything there, signal boost the HELL out of this post. Whether this jackhole thinks so or not, they’re stealing people’s hard work, and we need to spread the word far and wide, because this is NOT just a TF fandom thing.
UPDATE grabbed from Ladydragon76:
Hi, everyone! Just wanted to update quick. Through some awesome people we have some possible new ways to hang this fragger out to dry. Or, at least that’s my hope.
I’ve got this post here on lj with some info, and someone else just linked me a possible email address to use. (I’ll be updating the entry with that in just a minute).
Please keep signal boosting! Thank you!
UPDATE - So my stuff has been deleted, but this piece of shit told me this- “and why not? Until they explicit deny it, i have all right to do anything. Its basic freedom rights of peoples. If you dont want to you fanfic been read or copied, dont make it public.”
They then edited that comment because CLEARLY they know they’re in the wrong, but I’ve got the email in case anyone wants a screencap. The thing is, they aren’t going to stop. So please, spread the word far and wide. Even if you don’t have stuff stolen or even an LJ of your own, please get the word out.
