I sold Daily Science Fiction 28 stories. Safari won't take me to the link you posted. BIG HUGE SIGH. Have we contacted SFWA? Authors' Guild?

The community action got the site taken down! I'm aware of people contacting SFWA, Writer Beware, and Authors' Guild. Plus, some of the impacted authors are actually lawyers, so...

Huh. They claim to only be publishing with author consent. So much for that.

Yeah, they don't accept AI stories, they just steal the old fashioned way.

There is a 0% chance this entire site isn't made by Claude.

One thing I can't find on other science fiction sites is stories that are...finished

Their 'most recent' seems to be 2023, so no telling how long this has been going on...

The registrar is NameCheap and their abuse contact is abuse@namecheap.com.

yeah, though Cloudflare apparently is just passing those requests on to the hosting company (which is not necessarily the registrar)

as of right now, cloudflare are still showing as the DNS servers on the whois record, but are also not returning any IP addresses for the domain, so /someone/ has done /something/

@andrewhickey.500songs.com I remember you had a story here, might want to check in on this.

Are you a member of the Authors Guild? Their legal department works on similar issues. @authorsguild.org

Yep. There's my story - and no consent asked for or given.

.... Okay so i know reporting things to ICE is a REALLY Bad Look right now but for some reason copyright infringement domains are handled by their computer crimes unit under operation in our sites

hey hey @akivamcohen.bsky.social this seems potentially solvable?

According to their About page, it is with the author's consent. I hate the idea of stories being published without the author's say-so, but there may be other reasons why you have not been contacted. Do keep us apprised of the situation. I think all of us writers would like to know more.

Most authors are easy to contact. Anyone who has a traditional publisher can be contacted via the publisher. Many have agents. Those currently publishing are mostly active on social media possibly Patreon, or their own blog If none of the authors in this thread were contacted, it was deliberate

I mean, if you wanted, you could literally contact some of the authors societies for the genre, and ask them to put out the word/run an ad Any good faith org wishing to republish an authors works would not just do it and wait until the authors notice

What do you think consent is? If they tried and failed to reach the authors (which I don't believe for a minute), then they didn't get their permission to publish the work.

Who needs to go to the SFW website when you can probably just ask an LLM to regurgitate the entirety of those creative works from their training set .... 😠

I really don’t get the drive to replace human writers striving for excellence with a statistical engine turning out barely adequate prose.

Note that searching by name does not work. Search for a title or by keyword, and then you can click on the author name to find the whole list.

What offends me even more than the theft of my stories is that they STOLE THE STORIES OF A DEAD FRIEND. Probably several dead friends. Melissa Mead, you're gone but we remember you, and we will fight for you.

What a sweeping, careless, arrogant thing to do. Did they respond to you when you got in touch, as they invite the authors whose work they have put up without consent to do?
