A few fic writers have explored that situation and discovered that the site that offers the fic for free download actually deflects to other sites that ask for credit card info. Apparently it's not posting fic without asking that's the point so much as it's a phishing scheme for cc numbers.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Consuela, they have nothing listed under your name just now when I clicked the link. I hope that means they've taken it down. I don't know whether to feel relieved or insulted that they seem to have none of mine up.

Yeah, mine are gone off the Ebooks tree site, but the worry is that it's been gleaned for the phishing sites. Which I can't get to to check, without giving them my cc#, and uh, no way, no how. So I've decided to lalala and choose to believe the best.
AO3, btw, had figured out a bot block by last night, which has now been defeated by the phishing sites' bots. This is why we can't have nice things.

That PDF with my author ID is no longer coming up when I search by that ID. For what it's worth.

Well, that's promising, given that I didn't actually get around to sending the DMCA. So maybe they got sufficiently spanked by the AO3 lawyers they took everything down?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's what I'm hearing.

That's good to know; I would have hated to have to search all 30 pages of the SAs.

My Puppet!Angel/Sesame Street story has been nominated at the Sunnydale Memorial awards. It's nice to be remembered.

That is cool, Connie.

Did the filtering feature on AO3 disappear?
