A site that is taking our books

[TLCsDestiny]

Releases - WLN Updates

This site doesn't sell like others do but it is taking not only our books to their site without our approval but readers that probably won't come to scribblehub...
I know we can't completely stop this from happening, even if we somehow shut this site down, another one will pop back up...But is there nothing I can do?
I left a website because this was happening, only for it to happen again and if someone puts up my books to sell, I'm sorry but I won't be doing my books for free anymore...
Just thought I'd vent a bit and let people know that your work is going elsewhere...

Yup, just go for the money. Btw, there was that russian site that was selling our books too, can't remember the name now...Though, I felt like you when I first saw it.

 

[TLCsDestiny]

Mmm, well if I see my books getting sold, I'm out. I don't mind my books getting read for free, even though I'd prefer they go to the site that I have approved to have my book be read, but not getting anything when someone else is, is completely unfair!

While that site is showing off other sites, after some minutes navigating, I found out that isn't as you say, it actually is additional advertising for the stories, since for you to read something the site links you to scribblehub (or the site where is posted). They doesn't seem to have bastardized copies.
No idea about that russian site trollingtrolls mentioned.

Yup. From what I can see, it only collects links. If you click on a title, the table of contents shows up but it's automatically linked to whatever website it was published on. It seems fine.

You became a detective after my profile post, but it was a false alarm! I hope one day that my story will become good enough that people want to steal it, but that they aren't successful. Rather, one day if I get good, then maybe I should use a plagiarism search engine or software to hunt people down if they steal my story! I want people to read it for free! Ohohoho

It doesn't state me as the author...Personally I don't like that, nor do I like them just taking it from the site without my approval. I'm not new to this, my book 'The Doomed and Blessed, 13th Young Miss' is everywhere now and I have had to accept that but at least they had me as the author lol.

I check every now and again anyway, was about time, you just helped me do it lol. I didn't see my books being sold, so that's a bonus! (Unless I missed something somewhere)

They don't do anything, just puts together a bunch of link to novels sites. anyone that goes there and click to read any chapter will be redirected to your page in scribblehub, where you appear as the author. Isn't just the author, anything more than chapter numbers and the series name just don't appear, not even the chapters themselves, since those are linked to the external site (scribblehub in this case).
Also, you could probably make an account and put the info you want to appear there and use it as advertising for your novel and scribblehub.
I think is more useful than annoying

 

[keitaro-sempai]

I tryed, you can create an account and add all the info you want to your novel. What botters me is the fact that it didn't check if what i put in was true. Still, since the chapters go to the page in scribblehub no one gains anything putting false info.
You should go and edit your novels and take advantage of the extra advertising. I just done that

Taking your advice in putting in information myself :)
It'll take a while though lol
So thanks :)

No problem. That site looks like a newborn novelupdates focused in webnovels. Actually works as NU but it's starting so is way simpler than NU.

Yeah, I don't think you can change that, it's automatic, even for completed books...
I suggest you don't worry about it
