This is the first time I am making a non story thread in this forum. It was serious enough that I had to make this appeal.
Recently few of my friends, one of them even writes on this forum, have found out that their stories have been stolen and pasted elsewhere.

The original writers put in lot of time and effort to churn out the stories and some X steals it shamelessly.

We had previously made lots of appeals to IF team to do the needful to prevent this copying. presently only the first page can be made secure using no copy tag but the other pages with subsequent updates remain prone to copy.

Nothing more hurting and painful to see our work in another place under someone else's name. The original writer literally becomes an alien to their own stories in that place. Its really heart wrenching.

All my writer friends in other forums are removing their stories off IF and probably I will have to do the same if no action is taken to preserve our work!

I request all the writers and genuine readers here to make your appeal in this thread. This is required to gather attention towards this grave problem

Good post Vidya. Maybe we need to find somewhere else secure to post our fan fiction. If you remove your stories, I'll do the same.

Done ...hopefully the mods will pay attention to the appeal.

It's so unfair to the writers.

I hope this gets solved soon! It is really important. And I hope all of you talented people can keep your work on IF, if not I would definitely read your works wherever else you would post them.

Hey vidya,
Thanks for sharing this! I had earlier posted abt stories being copied from d forum..i personally saw a few of my stories copied on FB without any credit. Even though the FB poster apologised and hopefully they r not doing d same things, we do not know to how many places dese stories go, we definitely hv no control on stories posted on posts oder than d very first post of a thread!

Hopefully India-Forum developers do something, otherwise we loose all motivation to write here. I have posted on the thread. 😊

Great post Vidya...I really hope something is done about this...

This is what I posted on the thread link you added on your post...hope it helps.

I cannot believe how low people can stoop.I am astonished that nothing has been done about this.
I really hope the mods take some action as it is totally unfair to all the wonderful and talented writers that post here on IF. I am an avid reader and love reading all the fan fictions that are posted and would be really sad if these wonderful writers stopped posting on the forum.

But I would totally understand if they no longer posted and removed their work from here as it is not protected.I hope I am able to find out where these fabulous writers will be posting so that I can read their work.

Mods please take some action before a huge loss happens here on IF.
