Announcement - Stop.
🕑 Added 2025-01-25 11:57:14 +0000 UTCI'm going to try and keep this short and sweet because I don't like that I have to announce this. I work hard on my stories. This is not my full time job. Between looking after my family, writing, freelancing and working on commissions (which is just what I can think of from the top of my head), this is strictly because I enjoy it. I can practice my writing and I like to earn from my work.
I have always loved the dedication and support and most of all, patience I've been shown from the TF community. I have little to no bad experiences personally (at least compared to the amount of good).
That being said, I don't like my work being posted for free. Months ago, I made a tweet when I discovered every single piece of work I had done for years had been posted on a website:
This was back in June.
For some odd reason I just had a thought to check again, mostly to see if maybe the site had ever taken it down or something.
They haven't and worst of all...
It has updated. The only way you can do this is if you are a member of the Patreon and import it all.
To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I get why people do this. It's hot and they want it for free. But considering the fact:
I send dozens of stories to people completely for free.
I asked you to stop.
I am charging £2 for most of the stories and £5 for commissions which tend to be much longer
There is collectively over 100 stories spanning tens of thousands of words, most of which was not commissioned and work that I've spent hours on now being just taken for free without my permission.
I find it just unfair that someone would take it.
So I'm going to assume that maybe, just maybe, the person who uploaded it was someone different. They probably didn't see my tweet and warning. But this time it will be clear.
Please stop doing this.
I've contacted the website and they will be taking the page down shortly. If you want free stories, just ask I give them out all the time. I won't give you everything but I have handed out like 2-3 stories for free to a lot of people if they wanna read.
Anyway, that's all. Back to the stories!
