Stolen Fics

This WattPad poster has reposted Twist of Fate by me (Oakstone730), Mental by @captn-sara-holmes, and Secret’s in the Telling by Sakuri. I don’t recognize the other titles that they’ve posted but they are likely are stolen as well. 

Feel free to comment on the fics to call out the plagiarism.

This is so bloody aggravating. I just noticed that they had the nerve to post this at the end of their stolen posting of Mental by @captn-sara-holmes:

Underlined PSA

Figment, the recently closed writing website, has just launched (after a long delay) their long-awaited successor to figment known as Underlined, where users can post their work and receive feedback, supposedly.

DO NOT USE UNDERLINED. DO NOT POST YOUR WORK ON UNDERLINED.

Underlined’s terms and conditions contains a clause stating that the rights to all your work that you post on their website belongs to them!!!!

Underlined belongs to Penguin Random House. This is an extremely dirty trick for them to play on writers, especially young writers and children, who come to the internet to get feedback and will lose the rights to their work. Please boost!!!

For my writing friends looking for an online writing community, DO NOT USE Underlined. 

I went to confirm @greater-than-the-sword‘s post, because seriously publishers are still pulling this garbage?  And yes, they are.  If you want to check out the full terms and conditions, have at it.  They are full of writers’ nightmares, a few of which I’ll highlight under the cut.

Keep reading

Be aware guys

As someone who used to use Figment, I would really strongly recommend NOT using Underlined. DO NOT USE Underlined.

@thebibliosphere signal boost for writers

Ugh, how is this still a thing.
