Just as a warning to other #writers - and in case I'm not far too behind on the news.

A web platform called "fictionhunt.com" has been not only plagiarizing fanfic wholesale from eg.: FF.net, but also creating placeholder author profiles using the names of the plagiarized authors. I've already contacted them to request takedown of my content, I hope to not have to research how to DMCA a plagiarism site as a fanwriter.

Luckily most of my works cloned there seem to have been already cleaned up. They've also removed my author profile and redirected it to FFN. Which, while it makes sense because that's where they copied my stories from, sucks in that I nowadays only use FFN to announce that I publish my stories elsewhere.

All in all tho, net gain it seems. Dunno if other sites are as responsive as fictionhunt on these issues.
