In possession of Lost Chapters, what to do?

[OtterlyMindblowing]

This is going to be a hard one.

So, hi, OtterlyMindblowing here. There is a series on this site called Becoming Monsters. I am the author of a great many side stories, but the original author was AiLovesToGrow. She sadly passed away about nine months ago, and left the world to me to keep writing. her family deleted the author profile here, but the story is still present (and at #2 on the Reverse Harem chart).

Now, the hard part. I am in possession of four chapters of the story that never made it to public sites, and wish to put them up here so that they can be seen. How should I go about doing this? Can they be posted to the original in some way, despite me lacking access to the account? If not, should I post them to my own as Lost Chapters, or to a standalone?

Post it here.

The Scribble Hub doesn't demand any proof for cross posting. As far as the copyright goes, the Scribble Hub assumes you have the permission of the original owner to post.

I want to clarify, from what I've seen, Tony does a pretty good job of checking into copyrights claims. If OP posts the lost chapters under the same title with a link to them (and possibly a review/comment on the original to inform readers), then it comes down to the original author to file a copyright claim. Since I'm fairly certain she won't, that means no claim, no harm. If her family tries to file a claim, OP would just have to include a notation somewhere with whatever proof that they are from the original author, left to OP with her blessing.

Just wanted to clarify for anyone that may see this in the future. obligatory "Not a lawyer, not law advice".

I hadn't read that before. I was going from the standard procedure on most sites, along with what I've personally seen here. but that is subtly different than most.

Is there a way for me to contact the admins directly to ask about this? I want to make sure the works are up and preserved, but don't want to break copyrights about it

@Tony Got a complicated one for you here. Can you give some insight?


Gotcha fam

Didn't realize you could just ping him here. Thanks

It is also best if you write on Tony’s profile, maybe even link him the thread. He once mentioned that is the quickest way for him to notice it.

Will do, thank you

Update: Tony told me to upload them normally, under my own profile, as long as I both have permission and cite AiLovesToGrow. Well, all of that is true. The four chapters that never made it public go up 1/day starting Friday.
