This is an exact copy of “The Empire of New Valyria” which is already completed with 40 chapters. The supposed “author” just straight up copy and pasted it while claiming it as their own. They even have the nerve to advertise their own patreon like they deserve some kind of payment for blatantly stealing an actual author’s hard work.

It’s honestly pretty funny and disappointing how your argument is essentially “no, you’re stupid! shut up, you’re wrong!” before you fall back on a few basic insults. I’m only responding to you because you keep responding to me. It sure seems like your feelings are genuinely hurt by having someone simply disagree with you.

I’m not butthurt about anything lol. I called you out for stealing content once, besides that I’ve only responded to replies I’ve received and called BS when you claimed the original author gave you permission since all 3/3 of the works you’ve posted are stolen and one of them (The Spider SI) was even dropped because people like you kept stealing the original author’s work. I couldn’t care less about you or the fact you’re posting on WN, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a content thief.

You’re literally the one who started responding to and trying to argue with me. If you didn’t want a response you shouldn’t have replied in the first place. Don’t try to play the victim just because I pointed out how stupid your argument is. Please don’t respond to me again, I honestly couldn’t care less about your opinion.

I suppose we just fundamentally disagree. I think plagiarizing other authors work is a scummy thing to do, period. I couldn’t care less if a person adds disclaimers every other sentence or doesn’t add a single one, the frequency of disclaimer makes no difference, either way it’s still stealing and plagiarizing content. What else is he supposed to do? How about not stealing other’s content in the first place? I’m not sure why you’re so dead set on defending this lol. The amount of times they post a disclaimer is completely irrelevant. The problem is not that there is just a single disclaimer, it’s that they stole the fic in the first place. It 100% is the fault of the “author”, I don’t know how you could possibly even believe what you’re saying. Who else’s fault would it even be? It’s not like anyone is forcing this person to steal other people’s content and post it online, their own actions are absolutely their own fault. This person literally copied and pasted the entirety of this story (as well as every single other one they’ve posted) without a single productive change or addition to what they’re posting. Nothing was edited, translated, revised, or even continued after being dropped by the original author. This is just straight up stolen.

When it comes to being hidden, I said the disclaimer is in the hidden part of the synopsis… If the reader doesn’t click on the ‘More’ option it’s literally hidden from sight, I’m not sure how thats difficult to understand. The overall length of the synopsis is completely irrelevant, the disclaimer is still at the very bottom and is hidden unless the synopsis is expanded. If it was visible without having to click ‘More’ it wouldn’t be in the hidden part, but that still wouldn’t justify stealing other’s work because you’re too lazy or incompetent to write your own.

First of all, if they wanted to bring attention to the original author’s work there are a lot better ways than to just steal and repost their work with a single tiny disclaimer. To act like straight up stealing other author’s work is completely fine just because they add one little sentence telling you they didn’t write any of it is just wild, not sure why you’d even want to try and defend such a scummy practice.

I find that very hard to believe considering one of the only other fics you posted is one where the author explicitly states that they would never give any permission to anyone to post their content to other sites, so you already have a history of stealing work from unwilling authors.

It’s definitely not just free publicity, it’s stealing content. Authors of fanfics barely get any recognition or support as is, stealing their work just prevents them from receiving the tiny amount of support and encouragement that they would have received. The “author” also isn’t telling you to check out the original, if that were the case they would have encouraged people to check it out by basically advertising it, instead they just added a little disclaimer at the very bottom of the hidden part of the synopsis to try and justify their copy and pasting.

Adding a hidden disclaimer at the bottom of the synopsis doesn’t make the fact this “author” straight up copy and pasted this fic any better.

so you’re just a content thief with no talent of your own then?

What exactly did I “yap” about? I literally backed up everything I said with examples from the fic itself to prove my point. I’d love to see you prove me wrong so I’ll be waiting for your response with your own evidence that proves my points were invalid, but I highly doubt you actually can or will even take the time to make an attempt.
