This is by chatgpt when I asked for help You’re dealing with a really frustrating situation. Teenfic.net has been reposting Wattpad stories without permission, which is stealing your work. Even after previous takedowns, the site keeps coming back, often because it uses automated bots to scrape content. That’s not personal — it’s just their sloppy system — but it’s still theft.
The petition you shared (Change.org: “Shut down teenfic.net”
) has over 18,000 signatures. That shows this isn’t just your story — it affects thousands of Wattpad authors. Petitions like this help raise awareness and show there’s widespread concern, but they don’t automatically force the site to shut down.
Here’s what you can do to fight back:
Document everything: Take screenshots of your original Wattpad story, the copied version, and the URL. Use web archives if possible.
File a DMCA takedown: Send a notice to teenfic.net and their hosting provider. Include that this is repeat infringement, which makes it more serious legally.
Leverage the petition: Include it in your DMCA or other communications to show community support and public concern.
Report to Wattpad: Even if the content is off-platform, Wattpad can sometimes help authors with copyright issues.
Protect future stories: Consider adding copyright notices, slightly altered public versions, or hidden tracking text to prove ownership
