Psst! Fellow writers!!! Thought I'd reblog to let more people know.

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:

(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:

IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:

HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.

Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.

In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.

In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.

In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.

Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

I found a big difference between Tumblr and Reddit.

Here, your silly statements and little slipups are responding to with “yeah same,” a completely unhinged reply, or maybe some healthy advice.

On Reddit, you get helpful answers and a guy saying “take a critical thinking class in college.” Yeah, sure. And I’ll also find a way to compensate for autism, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. One class will not fix the fact that I cannot read social cues over text without tone indicators and other in-text cues. Yes, I want to believe that someone wants to give me 40 grand. I also almost got scammed over an iPad and did get scammed over a ball of yarn all because of one thing.

Most people don’t look up every detail. Stuff isn’t as obvious as the porn bots here. My USPS scam got caught by a post office employee and got caught by me after I scrolled through the fake website they used to try and buy $100 of fried chicken. Critical thinking can’t always save you.

Sometimes you just have to go off pure vibes and hope for the best.

And so, if that idiot on Reddit sees this, I’d like you to know that I did not click that link or call the number because I wanted to check. I was suspicious of it. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have asked. So don’t shame people for asking for help. Especially if the person asking is disabled or otherwise unable to figure it all out (sheltered kids, the elderly, etc).

TL; DR Dear everyone, stop shaming or insulting people for asking for help.
