Hello lovelies,
I have bad news today. An App on Apple called FUNTEL is stealing books. Several of my stories including Cora are on this App without my permission. My apologies for not being able to check for my fellow authors because I do not have an apple device but I can confirm that the Cora Copy came from Wattpad.
Good Luck, Fellow Watties. #Booktheives #Funtel #Wattpad.

Ghost with Hope - Chasing the cause of the infertility and peace cost Lady Anneliese of Vanth her child, her Pets, and almost her life but she vowed she wouldn't give up as long as she has the love of her Ink Giver, even though she disagrees with him.

Finished Cowboy ala Cart and now onto The Western Queen, Stone Skin #2. There may be NoMo' NaNo but I am still getting all the words and sprints in.
Cowboy ala Cart updates for #NaNoWriMo
The story seed from 2020 became my #NaNoWriMo2022 project and then a #CampNaNo2023 published book and until Nov 1- IT'S FREE! How to Become a Crazy Cat Lady to Survive the Zombpocalypse 100-year-old Egyptologist Lady Theodora Thorpe survived the first encounter with the plague before WW2, and now it's back. Theodora's twin great-grandsons, Leo and Lionel Thorpe, are serving in the US Navy Pacific Fleet under the descendants of one of the other survivors of the first modern outbreak. Admiral Lansing and his son, Captain Lansing, have kept their sailors safe, but now, they are tasked with rescuing the uninfected survivors from cities filled with non-decaying I.U.W.s, infected undead wanderers, and cats are the only thing the dead avoid. #zombieapocalypse #catlady #AncientEgypt #plague #bigfood #governmentconspiracy #USnavy #cvn78 #librarian #enochprattfreelibrary #Baltimore https://www.amazon.com/Become-Crazy-Lady-Survive-Zombpocalypse-ebook/dp/B0C9TP22RT

This time a #bookthief is using AI readers to create #audiobook files and posting them on for sale on Amazon, Patreon, and Youtube. The Thief's YouTube page still exists under the name AudioBook Stories https://www.youtube.com/@AudioBook-Stories/videos Check it out and see if your content is there.
@PenumbraMine It's shameful that the company can get away with this. It looks like they could be held accountable legally. I'm surprised that YouTube and others allow them on their site.
@stox4story No, it isn't legal, but unless the authors directly report the thieves to each platform as not having permission to use and distribute their content, they get away with it. And the worst part is there are people advocating creating Audiobooks for books that don't have them as a way to make extra money for themselves. It is just another way talentless hacks who can't write or are too lazy to write, steal from struggling Indie Authors.
@PenumbraMine I am so, so sorry this is happening. Is this even legal? How can it be stopped?
Attn Friends: the #bookthieves are at it again only this time in #Spanish. The app is Alphanovel.io and there are several books from both Wattpad and Inkitt that are known to be on the platform without the real author's permission. The covers and titles are changed but if you hit the translate button you can still find your book if they took it. Some are harder to find because one book called The Erotic Alpha is literally just stolen chapters from werewolf books on both platforms. Do not buy the app. If You see your book, report it to the App store. Alpha Novel also has a Facebook and Instagram page that I could find. Good Luck, fellow Watties.
@PenumbraMine by also putting a complaint about the domain in the can pull content as well
@ArthurLes Thanks Les. I got lucky this time but there are several spicy mixed genre writers that got chapters and sometimes whole books.
@PenumbraMine i have a present that could help you get the content removed Registrar Info Name Key-Systems GmbH Whois Server whois.rrpproxy.net Referral URL http://key-systems.net Status clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited And this is key systems web address https://www.key-systems.net/en/welcome-to-key-systems/
The Spartan Chimera was nominated in the Fantasy for the Gemlight Awards @communityforwriters on Wattpad and Inkitt. You all know why I pulled it from this platform, but it is still on the other one until I publish it later this year. Draft will still be free on the other platform. You have to go to my Ink Itt page to read it, sorry for the inconvenience, but the attitudes of the help desk toward writers trying to protect their words is and has always been atrocious. We make them too much money to be treated so badly. The Gemlight Awards are still taking stories for many genres. Submit here. https://www.wattpad.com/story/360987358-the-gemlight-book-awards-2024 Be blessed.
