tldr: supposedly unauthorized translation and publication of some aot works from tumblr onto another platform
(sorta continuation of this post)
a certain user on ficbook.net (a russian analog of ao3/wattpad) has been translating the works from tumblr and posting them on their profile. the thing is, they do credit the tumblr writers as authors of the original text and leave the links to the tumblr posts but there's almost no doubt in my mind that they're doing this without the permission of the original creators. because one of my works was also translated and posted like this, all without reaching out to me beforehand. and because some of the creators they've translated from have explicitly stated that they do not allow the reposting of their works in any way, shape or form
because you have the right to know as the creators, below i'm including a list of the blogs whose works have been translated supposedly without the creator's permission (i'll also try to include the name of the works that have been translated in the brackets)
(i've no idea what username they have on tumblr - but - if you're on this list but have given your permission to translate your work (or these works specifically) to someone in the past and/or are generally cool with the situation then feel free to ignore)

continuation of the list here since tumblr doesnt allow more that 50 mentions
i'm not sure if i should disclose their username on ficbook.net because, again, my accusations may be groundless and i might put an innocent user between two hard places with my action, so until the situation gets cleared up, im not willing to expose them
what can be done? if my suspicions are proven right and this person is indeed operating without the ops' permission, then reporting would be the most effective choice, considering that ficbook.net has a very strict policy regarding translations but you have to be a registered user there to file a report which i doubt many of you are or would be willing to do (not to mention navigating the site in the whole other language). i've already reported their profile and who knows, maybe this single report could achieve something
one thing i know for sure, is that this person hangs out on tumblr often and will for sure see this post, maybe it will give them some wake-up call about not asking the permission to translate and repost the intellectual property of other's - at least when it comes to my works cuz the case with the other users are unconfirmed as of yet
if i bothered you with this post by tagging you, im sorry, i just wanted to make some things right since you deserve to know as the creators
