Several authors here have been plagiarized

Hi, I had started messaging some authors, and a couple others have as well, but the list keeps growing and I want to be sure the information is available.

Tangle Me is an 80+ chapter book on the Anystories platform, listed as ongoing. The "author" has strung together a large number of stories stolen mostly (if not entirely) from here, changed a few names, claimed the work as her own, and signed a contract with Anystories to profit from the theft. A few of us have been going through the book to track down the origin of each chapter. This is a pay-by-the-chapter book and was heavily promoted by Anystories.

This was brought to the attention of Anystories a couple days ago. A couple writers on the platform have also gone to their editors. The most recent response I received was demanding more proof, and the book remains up.

Here's a list of the chapters of Tangle Me and the original stories and authors. This is not a complete list, but we're working on it.

If Anystories is a ligit publisher, then providing them with a link to each story should be proof enough, otherwise each author will have to file a DMCA notice to Anystories.

The Anystories official requirements for DMCA are... Obtuse. And very much not in line with the actual DMCA requirements. Things like requiring an ID card, official government sealed documents to prove ownership, if not an Indian citizen then you need to find someone who is to act as proxy, etc.

The requirements also appear to be copy/pasted badly from another source, and require things that probably aren't possible in most other countries such as:

Including but not limited to the copyright certificate, trademark right certificate, patent right certificateissued by relevant authorities, proof material of the date of the initial publication or release in a public situation of the work, creative manuscript, creation time stamp of the work issued by the authority, work record certificate and other valid ownership certificates that can prove the right holder has the relevant rights

Looks like they have come to their senses and removed it. Only "Page can not be found"
