ePub eBooks (Fully Edited w/ TOC) Fanfiction, Forumfiction

I am removing the links to the eBooks. Even though I had either permission from the author or the story was taken from a site that allows proliferation or had site permission to do so. Its just not worth the hassle to create an epub eBook edit them and then create a Table of Contents and then upload it to a storage site. And then create the links to where it can be downloaded. Just to have people assume I have done something wrong, illegal or untoward. Just not worth my time.

Sorry everyone.

A lot of fanfic authors want to keep track of where their stories are hosted, and many prefer to keep them in forums where they can get reviews & other feedback. Grabbing fanfic w/o permission and reposting it in a new place online, even if the original place was a free, open-view site, is a bad idea. It's legally wrong (although not particularly actionable, other than by takedown notice), and it's been known to convince authors to hide their works under various locks, which I'd like to not happen.

I know, there's a great temptation to share the work. It feels wasteful to do all that formatting just for one person's reading. I have dozens of fanfics I've put into Reader-sized PDFs... that I can't share.

If you're going to post fanfic to new locations online, please get author permission first.

Yeah thought that was you based on something you said in one of your blogs. And enjoyed the first few chapters are each of those stories (haven't finished them yet). I spend quite a bit of time on the fanfic sites. There is some great stories out there.

Not sure what the deal with the spyware from megaupload.

I didn't just grab fanfic from open sites. I only grabbed stories that where 1) good and 2) from sites that allow this type of thing or 3) the author's gave their permission or didn't mind their stories being spread around the net.

I also have fanfics that I can't share as well and I don't share them. The stuff I posted is not the case.

I think it would of been much simpler if you had just sent me a PM to me asking your questions instead of making a post that makes it seem like I am doing something wrong or from a negative slant with assumptions. Nothing I have done here is against mobilereads rules.

The only reason I made the statement the way I did in the quote was to explain that I have no agenda. It wasn't to say I hadn't done my due diligence.

Thank you for this; I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions.

I've seen a lot of fanfic reposted without permission, enough that if it looks like it's happening, I say something publicly, to let lurkers know that it's not okay.

I know there's no requirement to directly say, "I have permission to post these", but with copyright being the mess it is, and plagiarism running rampant in fanfic communities (there's a lot of "I found this cool story so I'm reposting it under my account!"), I tend to err on the side of caution.
