Warning: someone is fishing in LJ waters...
I got this warning through fanficrants. Apparently a website has cropped up that is trawling through LJ, looking for anything tagged fanfic, and then reposting it WITHOUT PERMISSION.
Here is a link: http://www.donotlink.com/framed?561309
The link diverts you from the original. It takes you to a separate page that will not show up on search engines, in order to defeat the thief's purpose of attracting search engines. (The site is full of advertising.) But as you can see, a lot of people have been complaining.
I don't know if any of my friends may have been victimized, but there's a Complaint Page, which you can go to and make him take your stuff down.
I don't have time right now to see if he's lifted any of my stories, but I will be checking as soon as I can.
(And I'm using my fanfic tag so if he steals this entry he won't be getting any real fanfic, LOL!)
