Dear fanfiction writers,

Please be aware that there are fake websites which have mirrored literally ALL FANFICS from Fanfiction.net. As far as I can tell, they are near-perfect mirrors, updating in real-time to FFN’s servers.

All of your stories, your profile, everything has been stolen and copied onto the following websites. (WARNING, these sites have malicious ads that carry malware! Use an adblocker!)



They are making profit off your stories with advertisements. This is called spamdexing. Please report them. Theft of this hefty magnitude, literally millions of stories, should not go unpunished.

Also, do not attempt to log in to any site that looks like Fanfiction.net but is not. In theory, they could steal your email and password!

HOW TO REPORT

Go here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreportform?hl=en Put in the name of the website (one report each) Write in additional details: This is a spamdexing mirror site to https://www.fanfiction.net/ and has stolen my profiles and intellectual property. Click “I am not a robot” and then “Report webspam”

Report more by clicking the link on: Go back to the webspam report form.



Writers and fanfic readers should report these websites that profit off our hard work. Stop plagiarism and art theft!

ADDITIONAL WARNING



People have been warning me that these sites contain malware. Since I use an adblocker and run Linux, I was not aware of this. (Bonus for Linux, eh?)



PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE SITES. Only visit them if you have an adblocker on your computer. This is utterly malicious and must be stopped.

People have suggested issuing a DMCA to Fanfiction.net. Perhaps they will act if we all do that.
