Do it! Based snitch.
It's a matter of time. An activity is only allowed if a big players profit from it directly or indirectly, once it becomes to lucrative for individuals, it will be shut down.
I desire in my heart for the 'legitimate' publishing industry and all its tendrils and asslickers to crash and burn. We are not the same.
I don't think it's okay to change the names on someone's story and call it your own. I also don't think it's okay for someone to claim ownership of themes, tropes, genres, personality types, super powers, narrative events, just because they have a bigger legal team.
Still better than outright using a creative talent to boot-lick a corporate IP.
The whole idea of "sanitized fanfics" puts a chill up my spine. Its the attitude that stiffled the entire space-opera genre because somehow 'Star Wars' owns it now. This is how we get further into the territory of corporate and state control of ideas. Anything anyone writes or draws can be traced back to something that inspired it. Works of arts will have similarities even when the author has never heard of or engaged with prior material. Writers and artists draw inspiration from popular culture they have experienced as well. So the idea of 'sanitized fanfiction' must be carefully and narrowly defined, else it become a cudgle to bash indie writers.
It was mid to high 40's for those developed countries and while many of those countries had the legal age at 12-14 for marriage it was rarely a thing. The normal marriage age was still over 20.
Businesses work when they are free to compete. This has not been the case for a long time because the corporations defacto merged with the government instead of being regulated against monopolistic practices. This includes the publishing industry and cultural gatekeepers.
I don't consider an idea as something that by definition can be stolen.
the publishing industry takes a lot of the blame for the modern state of things. The last thing I want, is for them to get any of their original "gatekeeping" status back. Like an unfit mother, trad pub should lose the ability to have kids for all time. There's nothing wrong with the "golden age" KU model, and already that's changing by slow degrees. That frog will boil slow too, I fear.
The removal of Patreon word is what Tony did via systems mentioned in the first post. It also removes it from hyperlinks.An interesting case:
The author included a patreon link at the bottom of the chapter.
The only thing missing is the word "patreon," like a bot had surgically deleted it.
There is still a link from the description, though…

There is a bug with synopsis that I already reported. It only shows if you expand the description from the author's profile. If you go to the story directly, it is hidden as it should be.

Best of luck to you then. Both my fanfics got nuked so it will be bye-bye to SH until I have my Original up and running.
You can always remove links and request that the administration restore them.
One of your fanfics was still up a day ago, but you literally wrote p_atreon in the middle your story synopsis knowing very well about FF and monetization situation. You could have prevented the deletion.
