These assholes have 30 of my stories, including some of my Original Work! I'm off to do the take down notice...

[dragonydreams]

Wow. That's a lot. Hopefully they listen and take everyone's stories down.

[jesterlady]

Oh my gosh! They have 19 of mine!

[dragonydreams]

Good luck getting them to take them down.

thanks for the head's up. Mine were stolen too

[dragonydreams]

You're welcome. It's great that when people do stupid stuff like this, fandom is good at spreading the word to try to get it resolved.

[cornerofmadness]

yes it is. They stole a lot of original fiction too as it turns out

[dragonydreams]

Yeah, one of my other friends had original work up there too. It looks like AO3 intervened and most of the stuff people reported is down. Mine is at least.

[velvetwhip]

I found two of mine there and asked that they be taken down.

I hope they listen.

I didn't find myself among the authors, but I did notice a few others that I hope have been made aware of this.

Why must the internet have stinky people on it?

[dragonydreams]

You're lucky you've escaped so far. Lots of other people found themselves on that site.

It's terrible that people have to do stuff like this. At least fandom is good at getting the word out to try to stop it.

[snogged]

It turns out...I was not so lucky.
I didn't find my name in the alphabetical list, but did find myself through the search engine. They ganked my Buffy/Angel fic from last year's IWRY. I hope this company get enough complaints to actually do the right thing.

[dragonydreams]

Try checking now. Apparently AO3 has gotten them to remove most of their authors. Mine are now gone when I search for my name.
