I left reviews on each of the stolen stories, but I have no idea how to go about reporting these things on Amazon. Anyone want to tackle that?

Have you let the original authors know? They are the ones that have to report it... though, I don't know what Amazon will do, if they will do anything at all since the Jessica girl I reported nearly a month ago still has some of the stolen stories for sale on Amazon.

Here's the link to how to report it on there, so you can give it to the authors: http://www . amazon . com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=help_search_1-1?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201140760&qid=1372983602&sr=1-1

There's a bunch more linked on his goodreads page -___-

Uhg. I also found his Facebook if any of the authors need a way to contact him.

You know, I don't know what's more pathetic... the fact that he stole all these stories in the first place or the fact that the only rating for all of the stories posted on goodreads is posted by him.

I can't find "Ocean" and "Long Distance and Fame" eaither but I'm positive those are stolen as well. We should definitely keep looking.

Would you mind contacting the authors of the stories you found? I'd really appreciate it.

Sure I'll do that right now.

EDIT: I've messaged them all! And I've linked them here where they can find all the information that's been gathered so far.

Even though some of the stories aren't available for sale, they're still up on Amazon and if it was me, I'd still want to know.
