So I wanted to ask, if there's a quick way to search for pirated copies of your own stories out there somewhere? I've been worried about this, but today I thought I should check this. Maybe is there a way to have a free AI search it out for you somehow??

I'm not sure I would worry too much. People pirating your story will never pay anyway, so they're not readers you want to attempt to keep by combing the internet worrying about it.

scrapped my work from Royal Road, so attach links under new chapters. And geez, it is truly a dreadful site with zero traffic.

1) If you got a contract, your money will come from your employer.
2) IF you dont have a contract, you aint making any money anyway, why you care?
3) If someone decided to pirate you story, that is actually a cumpliment. It means you wrote something good (at least for the reader), my advice is let it be, so you name become a recognized standar.
4) Dont mix avocados and beens, you will have a windy and smelly night (add some eggs if you wanna die).
5) to a personal level, I self published my stories, it was a failure, so I published them my self for free in the Web (in spanish and english) still a failure. Got barely any readers, It seems I am a boring writer.

Personally, I've run into pirated and translated versions of my story on other sites before, and I generally don't have an issue with it as long as I'm credited. I remember there was this one time I tracked down a machine translated version of my book in I think either Chinese or Thai. I forget the specifics. Generally speaking, though, you can just search the name of your book and it'll pop up sometimes.
