There's a shady pay-for-e-books website that's stolen some of my stories.

I feel so proud. And pissed off. I'm conflicted. (But it is kinda like a fannish rite-of-passage, isn't it?)

Anyway, there's a tumblr post that explains it far better than I can and I think you might want to go take a look, because I did a few checks and there's several people I know. It looks like they're bot-harvesting from AO3 and AO3/OTW seems to be on the case, but still.

They have two of mine too, including the one that is based on Norse myths, and thus is original instead of fanfic.

I notice they've got a lot of scientific articles too, which makes me think they're scrapping some of the non-paywall journal sites. I kind of want to track where those are from and sic the academic press on that site.

They have five of mine, the fuckers. Have used the template someone made to send a complaint.

I really resent someone making money off my fics.

Thanks for the heads up. I've posted my findings here: http://eve-n-furter.livejournal.com/87684.html
It seems there's a lot of victims. :(
