Author: kaistrex (weishen), @kaistrex | Artist: @snarkyship​ |

Rating: Explicit | Word count: 50k

Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Mating Cycles/In Heat, Feral Behavior, Werewolves Are Known, Full Shift Werewolves, Werewolf Derek, Human Stiles Stilinski, Magical Stiles Stilinski, Pining, Light Angst, Happy Ending, Step Brother Scott McCall, Alive Hale Family

When son of the Alpha, Derek Hale, ends up in his bed in heat, Stiles decides to use it to his advantage and secure the Bite for his sick step-brother. As he and his family are welcomed into the Hale pack, Stiles grows closer to Derek than he’d ever dreamed he’d get, but with the fanged Soulbite of a born wolf on Derek’s neck, he knows he’s just setting himself up for heartbreak. Derek has a Soulmate out there, and it definitely isn’t Stiles.

does anyone know wtf word-stream.com is or where to send them a takedown request? i just found a bunch of fics, including my own, hosted on this AI slop site—apparently offering what I assume are AI-generated audiobook versions & (equally AI-generated) ratings and reviews. i can’t take a closer look without signing up, which, no thank you, but it looks like they’re hosting the full fics and are peddling a paid subscription for the trouble of hosting them. can someone more knowledgeable than me explain what our options are in this situation?

[makicarn]

First of all, I'm really sorry to all the authors that have had their works stolen and hosted on this site, this really sucks.

If you try to click on any of the sites, you get a link to the App Store app, which is called "WordStream - Audiobooks".

Who is Ofek Weitzman? Apparently he's also known as Cliff Weitzman, the CEO of Speechify, an AI Voice generator app famous for its partnership with Snoop.

Also, Cliff Weitzman is named as the copyright holder at the bottom:

If you search for Ofek/Cliff Weitzman, you find his name in the terms and conditions for Speechify.

Strange that someone with a legitimate company with a partnership with Brandon Sanderson would put their name behind a shady company stealing works from fanfic writers, but it may be worth reaching out to him on X.

Best case scenario is that someone has stolen the name for an app, but in that case, it would be good for him to know.

Otherwise, it would be good to start a dialogue about how authors can get their works taken down from this site!

[makicarn]

It really does seem like this is the right guy to contact, based on the Youtube channel for WordStream, which features Cliff Weitzman!

Given his desire to work with authors, I hope he's responsive to fanfic writers and can get everyone's works taken down.

[ekingston]

Thank you @makicarn & @fazedlight (see her reblog in the tags) for finding more information!! According to the listings for the app it's only been live since October, which explains why we haven't heard much about it yet. The website also purports to provide access to AI-voiced classic novels like (at a glance) Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick and Sherlock Holmes, all of which are all in the public domain, which leads me to think the creator of the website wrongfully assumes copyright doesn't pertain to fan fiction.

Per @echoekhi 's advice (who's done invaluable work for fandom with their project Copy-Knight) I have contacted OTW Legal, hoping they can help. Because word-stream doesn't list a formal policy regarding copyright violations, and Weitzman doesn't appear to publically own up to his connection to the website anywhere, (correction: I just watched the YouTube shorts Maki linked to and his face is right there along with the boast that we can access all of these free works for just one teensy payment, isn’t that just SO GENEROUS OF HIM) I agree with them that it's inadvisable to file a DMCA takedown at this point. I wouldn't trust it 1. with my personal information and 2. for it to actually go anywhere. That being said it's definitely something to keep an eye on and obviously anyone whose work is listed there should do their own research and decide for themselves which steps they want to take.

Sorry to bring attention to such a crummy thing right before the holidays!!

100% understandable but damn

Lemon & Ginger by kaistrex

“Is—Is he my—” The word dies in his throat.

“How did you not know?” Laura screeches and Derek feels his hackles rise, defensive.

“Wha—Bu—But he smells good to everyone!”

“Not that good,” Cora scoffs.

“Yeah, not good enough to hump him over it.”

“I didn’t hump—”

“You kinda did,” Stiles agrees, scratching at the back of his head. “Though I can’t say I minded.”

-

A new tea shop has opened in Beacon Hills, and Laura drags Derek along so he can try the incredible, memory-evoking drinks for himself. He’s soon going back for more, but is it because of the tea, or the owner?

Something More by kaistrex (wc19148, explicit)

Summary: “Derek, what’s going on?” Erica asks. Derek hesitates to respond, trying to decide on the most concise way to tell the story without his disgust bleeding through. Marie beats him to it. “After the Argents’ attack, we were the only pack who would give them shelter. As thanks, it was agreed my daughter would marry a member of the Hale pack when she came of age.” “But Derek is no longer an option because a marriage pact can’t interfere with a pack’s hierarchy,” Lydia fills in, disbelief dripping from every word. “And now every other member of the pack is mated, you’ve finally come calling to sink your claws into Stiles.” * When Derek and Stiles stumbled into a friends with benefits relationship purely by accident, they weren’t expecting it would one day save their asses when a threat from Derek’s past comes knocking. All they need to do is pretend to really be in love to avoid an arranged marriage agreed to years ago with a pact of blood. Considering they hadn’t bothered setting up boundaries when the ‘benefits’ first started, it’s no surprise that the lines begin to blur and Derek’s eyes are eventually opened to a truth he hadn’t been ready to face.

I love these sorts of fics, but it's usually a fake relationship and not a FWB relationship. That gives this one all the more fun and spice!

Was reorganizing files on my laptop and forgot about this little project of mine. I decided to finish it.

Strip Poker by kaistrex (wc4267, teen)

Summary: Stiles just doesn’t understand. All the other Soulbites he’s ever seen have been neat, charming things: his dad’s with a cute crooked incisor on the upper jaw bite from his mom, Scott with his perfect fairy-tale match in Allison. But this— It’s ugly. He looks like he’s been savaged, like whoever these teeth belonged to didn’t just bite, but sank their teeth in and shook. They look like—like they’re from an animal. Who the hell could make a mark like this? - When Stiles’ Soulbite manifests on his neck and makes it look like he’s been mauled by an animal, he takes to spending most of his time hiding it in the preserve. It would be the perfect haven if it wasn’t for Derek Hale being such a creeper.

Omg. I've never read a soulmates fic with this twist - soul *bites*. This is such a good read! Love it.

[kaistrex]

❤️❤️❤️

There's also Cloaked in Gold if anyone wants more Soulbites 🤗

Sterek - Complete - Royal AU/Alive Hales - Words: 109,100 - Rating: Explicit 

THOUGHTS: I literally stayed up all night reading this. It was good from start to finish. The world building is wonderful. The relationship building couldn’t have been more perfect and well paced. The writing was superb. From beginning to end this was an extremely satisfying read. This fic has so many of my favorite things… 10/10 would recommend and will read again!
