Hey. I just saw a tweet from someone who recs fanfics with larry and said that some kpop stans and harries are stealing larry fics and reposting them on other sites and they change the characters names. The girl said they’re stealing relief next to me by haydolce then some from cherrystreet and some from twopoppies and indiaalpha.
I’d recommend to make them private. But do you know where can I report these people? It’s so nasty
oh no, that's awful! from what i know, cherrystreet isn't really active in the fandom anymore & potentially neither is hayholce? so i'm not sure if they'd see messages about this, but i could be wrong, and it definitely doesn't hurt to try. i do know the lovely @twopoppies and @indiaalphawhiskey are still active, though! i believe india's ao3 is private, though, so could you please send a link to the tweet or something so they can have a bit more context?
you can report a fic by scrolling to the bottom of the fic on ao3 and clicking "policy questions & abuse reports" under "contact us". for a visual, this is what it looks like:
if you scroll to the bottom of that page, you'll find a partially filled out form that you'll complete and submit to report the fic. you can also just click here to go directly to that page.
i know that wattpad isn't particularly good at protecting writers' works -- which is why you'll see a lot of authors say that they don't allow translations being put onto wattpad. but i can only speak on reporting from the app while logged in:
scroll down to "help & support"
tap/click "submit a support ticket"
tap/click "my issue isn't listed"
there's a few different options you can choose from -- i'd opt for 'reading', personally.
tap/click "submit a ticket"
there you can choose what topic you feel best describes the issue you're having and describe the issue.
ao3 is a lot better when it comes to this kind of thing than wattpad is, unfortunately, but i'd still definitely recommend submitting one just in case -- you never know!
i'm not sure about other fanfic websites, though, unfotunately. the only other one i know is fanfiction.net, and for that one you scroll to the bottom of the page, click 'help', and send an email to the support email provided.
hopefully this helps to some extent!!!
