May be we should complain to IF.. if there are enough people complaining than may be they will make some changes.. may be we should campaign..

You can try but people have been complaining about this for years now and not much has happened. The biggest action they have taken was to bring in the IF copyright tag.

Has not that been for yrs.. I have been on IF for 11 yrs sometime during geet/ipk time member only post came & copy right too.. I left IF due to lot of writers left forum due to plagiarism.. at that time mods were super active & were monitoring (many people lift a story or page from other forum like dmg story posted as ipk story -it may be paragraphs or whole story)

I went MIA after that as I got frustrated.. as Owner did very little to help writers..

I saw recently they have suggestion corner etc so I thought may be things have changed for better.. but I guess not 😕

The thing with fanfiction is that it's extremely tricky to fight cases for. Firstly, the geographical location will play a huge influence. The laws protecting me in Canada will vary greatly with those in India. Moreover, I can't fight on the basis of complete ownership of these pieces since I don't own these characters or the IMMJ2 IP.

The only protection that can be provided is via the hosting sites which AO3 and Wattpad have been great in doing. I was genuinely amazed to see such swift action from Wattpad tbh. I hadn't expected them to act that quickly. I guess, I was just used to seeing IF's lack of action for these many years.


then why don't u try Wattpad. like, start writing there. it will be better than IF and whatever teeny tiny protection it provides.

Idk exactly when the tag came into use but I'm not too surprised to learn that it was during those times. Back then there used to be a lot of activity regardless of who you were: writers, graphicers, mods, even forums in general used to have a lot of activity. Now it has all decreased, some for valid reasons. Why should anyone stick around to a place where they won't be respected or their works protected?

Currently I'm shifting everything onto AO3 since I have used that site for almost a decade now, and am much more comfortable having my fics there. I'll deal with Wattpad later, once I'm done with AO3.

Interesting. I may consider adding my stories there too. I thought only Wattpad is the avenue for Indian authors. Thanks so much ❤️

AO3 has a lot of Indian shows/ movies and series fictions. You can find a lot of world on Bollywood and Tollywood movies like Bahubali, Padmaavat etc and shows like Qubool Hai, Kumkum Bhagya, IPKKND etc. And most of all Authors have copyrights and anti- theft security
