adultread

[LaceAndHumiliation]

Has anyone else discovered that their stories are on adultread? Just found out today all my stories under LaceandHumiliation are all on that site. Since Literotica was the only place I posted them they obviously lifted them from here. Any recourse? Or, any connection, familiarity between the two sites?

I did a spot-check for a few of mine and saw none.
Should I be upset that none of mine were worth stealing? Or happy they just didn't get around to my userid yet?

They have three of mine with a total of less than 25 'reads' in 3 years.

I did a spot-check of a few stories on their site, and was kind of surprised to see that most of them weren't actually hosted there, it was usually a teaser, with the following type of thing:

Read this story on (linkage to xhamster/stories or literotica). If you are the author of this story please consider granting us permission to publish the entire story here!

They do have a function to submit stories in full, but the only ones I saw like that were under a couple hundred words.

Their staff is great with using a spell-checker as well - https://www.adultread.io/mastrubation/stories :eyeroll:

Ask Lauren. She's dealt with this before

Absolutely do this. However, since most of what I saw there was small portions of stories linking to Lit/xhamster, I don't know that anything would happen. If your stories are posted in full, I'm sure you will get some traction, but for a snip of a story on Lit (a free site), and a link to the original, I don't think much will be done.

A snippet, an attribute and a link to the original site is the proper way to do it. That how news stories, articles, etc. are supposed to be posted here.

I must be in a very strange mood.

I searched adultread for my stories, found none, and was disappointed.

 

[sr71plt]

A ton of my Lit. stories are blurbed and linked at Adultread, but they are linked back here for the full story, so this comes under free advertising, not theft.

 

[LaceAndHumiliation]

Removed stories

I get the advertising angle however, I removed all my stories from Literotica and it seemed like they had quite a bit of them reproduced at Adultread, more than just a few lines. Hopefully the link back to lit will be a dead end, since the stories shouldn't be here.

Now you're not making any sense. All that was doing was helping you gain readers. The phrase 'cutting your nose off to spite your face' comes to mind.

Then perhaps you shouldn't be posting your stories to the open Internet. The entries I see at Adultread are short excerpts, providing the original author's name and linking back to the original source for the full story. That's called gratis advertising the author doesn't have to pay for but is benefiting from. It's not called theft. If you don't want even references to your stories floating around the Internet, especially free advertising such as this, don't post them to the Internet.

wow, nice attacks

lol I wasn't cutting my nose off to spite my face. I removed my stories from literotica because I didn't want them on there. I don't want advertising, I don't need advertising. Just wondered if they were a legitimate site or if they were ripping people off (mostly for others' benefit since I no longer have my stories on there.) This type of thing is the exact reason I don't deal with this site or ones like it. Have a nice day, for those who genuinely tried to help, thank you.

 

[sr71plt]

I don't think you are absorbing the genuine help you were given. First of all, you were 180 degrees off base on what Adultread is doing and they are the ones who could have a legitimate grudge against you in saying stories shouldn't be there--which, in fact, aren't there. Second, publishing isn't for those who feel entitled and that everyone should cater to them. The sooner you take that "help" on board the easier way you'll have of it in other areas of life. It was your decision and responsibility to post to the Internet as the Internet is--it's not going to adjust to you personally--and it was your decision to take your stories off--which pretty much doesn't completely happen once you've posted them to the open Internet (and it's your responsibility to know that). There's no one else to blame if you don't like the outcome.

 

[LaceAndHumiliation]

missed it completely

You totally misreprented what I was doing. I saw my stories on Adultread (at least some of the stories, yes). I wondered if any other authors encountered this, many did, I found out it's a normal thing, full stories aren't posted there, etc. Got my answer, You, however made it personal. I asked, the answer was provided long before you chimed in. Thank you all for the answers, now let's all move on.

Good luck in experiencing the Internet.

Your assumption is incorrect

Now you're not making any sense. All that was doing was helping you gain readers. The phrase 'cutting your nose off to spite your face' comes to mind.

She wasn't saying that she removed her stories in response to seeing them there. She is concerned because she removed her stories because, for whatever reason, she no longer wants them posted, and she's THEN seeing portions of them on this other site and is concerned that they are out there when she doesn't want them to be, at all.

Oh no! Another zombie thread has lumbered out of the darkness!

Well, the "news flash" for her and anyone else posting material to open Internet sites is that the moment you do that you've lost control over them--totally. Want to control where they are published/republished? Don't post them to the Internet. Your choice/your responsibility to deal with reality.

The more I read some of these threads the more I wish for Human Extinction .

I think there are many on here who would agree with your sentiment. I wonder sometimes if it’s a case of someone having a comment in mind, choosing a page from the past, and seeing if they can find a thread in which to insert that comment. It’s life, Jim, but not as we know it.

 

[lovecraft68]

People complain about zombie threads are the same people who feel the need to reply to zombie threads.

Irony.

 

[jaF0]

And then there are those who reply to a thread only to complain about those who reply to the thread.

 

[KentPreble]

This thread is worth delurking for.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Well, it is coming up to Halloween - an appropriate time for resurrecting zombies.
