Remember the Goodreads fanfic debaucle? Well, another site is now doing it. I just found 13 of my stories listed over on ebooks-tree.com, a for-profit site where I neither uploaded them nor authorized anyone else to do so.
I have a very clear statement that says I do not want my works or translations published on any platform other than AO3, for various reasons, yet this seems to have been completely ignored.
They make revenue off your work via ads and if you want to see any reviews which have been left on it, they want you to create an account with TzarMedia for access.
“Access Required.You need to create an account to gain permission to access unlimited downloads & streaming.“
“Take advantage of our special promotional offer to gain unlimited access for 5 days for free.”
Which, gee, that last line sounds like they’re charging for access to your works, too.
If you write fanfic, please check the site for your own works, Google for your name and the ebooks-tree site.
I just wrote them a letter requesting that they be removed. I guess we’ll see what happens.
This is not a comprehensive list – please check the site for your works.
Please reblog/signal boost this so as many authors as possible know about it.
UGGGHHHH signal boost. I’ll try to email them today too.
Six of mine are on here, too. Click their DCMA link and it tells you the lengthy process you must go through to get it removed. Ugh.
There are twelve of my stories on this site. I’m not okay with this, and am writing up a complaint to submit to the site owners right now. (Trin, Cate, Jenn, some of your work is on here as well.)
Do not upload copies of any of my fanfic anywhere online. I do not give permission for my work to be archived anywhere other than my own AO3 account and my personal journalling accounts.

We’re down to the last couple of days (It’s Monday, right now) and we still need to raise nearly $1200. igg.me/at/probrobpost
Many of you have reblogged posts and photos about this film, several with the tag “watch later” but there won’t be anything to watch later unless we’re able to pay our post-production costs.
I know at least some of my followers are into femslash and would love to see a genre f/f movie AND I’m sure more than a few of you have read and liked kben’s writing (remember that She’s the Man fic? Or Time Traveler Quinn, written way back in season 1?). Even a couple of dollars would be a big help.

The Home Office claimed I can’t be gay because I have a daughter! (63589 signatures on petition)
I don’t know whether this is already going round Tumblr but I need to share it again anyway. This needs another 372 votes by the 5th April.
Please sign it and maybe read up on compulsory heterosexuality while you’re at it. (Link for compulsory heterosexuality is a PDF).
This is a copy of the letter I emailed my MP:
Hello,
I’m writing once agin as a concerned member of the LGBT community, this time to raise your awareness of the impending deportation of a Nigerian LGBT activist called Aderonke Apata, as someone who lives in Britain and enjoys the freedom against discrimination, I am disheartened that others are not extended the same safety.
If you read this article and several others, they report that she is said to not be a lesbian because she has a daughter and has had relationships with men/a man in the past. This is an extremely outdated and offensive view. Many gay and lesbian people especially in countries that are highly homophobic are subjected to Compulsory Heterosexuality which in brief forces a lot of us to engage in heterosexual relationships to deny our sexuality and fit in with society. Even Elton John married a woman, and I doubt anyone would call into question the validity of his sexuality.
I do hope you can help to shed some light on the situation, as well as help advocte for a valued member of the LGBT community.
Your Constituent, [redacted].
remember UK folks it’s election time! Let yr MP’s know the issues that are important to you! I also linked him to academic writing on compulsory sexuality in regards to lesbians btw
