Regarding MY Fics

Nov 17, 2015 00:24

So, earlier this morning a kind, lovely stranger PM-ed me and she told me that some of my fics has been reposted on a website without, of course, my consent. At first I didn't believe it, but then I checked the website and true enough, my fics are there (and not just one, but the chaptered fics LOL). I wasn't really angry before - a bit annoyed, yes, but then I was like, 'okay, now what?'. My friends told me how to deal with it, and that I can actually asked for it to be removed, and just now, I did. But then I saw that lots of people has gone through that too, and seeing how their 'admins' responded to them, I finally got angry. It's just - it's not right, you know? Yeah, maybe it is just a fic, nothing so serious, but hey, we worked for that. We spent like, hours of sitting in front of the laptop, typing, groaning, banging our head against the keyboard (okay, maybe it's just me) so we can actually write something good for other fans to read. So yeah - it finally hit me, and I finally, fuckin' finally understand why people got so mad when their works were being reposted.

I was thinking before that maybe I should just F-locked all my fics, but then again, I understand how frustrating and annoying would it be to add someone just so you could read their fics (been there done that, also I'm super lazy), so nope. I won't. I'll just be more careful with my tags, and I'll hope that this kind of thing will never happen again.

Anyway! If any of you guys found my works being reposted elsewhere, please do inform me about that! I'll appreciate it!
And big thanks for hamhamheaven for telling me! I owe you big time! <3<3<3
