If you, too, were published by Daily Science Fiction, your story might have been reprinted without your permission too. For the rest of y'all: Please know this is not a good faith actor. They are lying about republishing DSF stories "with author's consent." They cannot be trusted. And while I hate given them hits, I hate leaving the accuracy of this notice up to whatever search results you get, so, these are the bad faith actors I'm talking about: https://sciencefictionweekly.com/ (thread ends)

They say,

If you're an author and want yours added, removed, or corrected, get in touch.

Their website offers no way to "get in touch" short of the Submit link - which requires you to log in before you can send them anything.

Again, when they say "We re-host [older stories from Daily Science Fiction] them with author consent, gathered story by story", that is a bald-faced lie. Every other fellow DSF author I've spoken to says the same: No contact, no permission, no consent.

@marywordymary@wandering.shop If it helps to know at all, Writer Beware (SFWA) has been alerted. It may also help to contact their domain host at "abuse@namecheap.com" and report them for hosting stolen content. No idea how much good that will do, but, every little bit, right?

Today's pen: a Pilot Kaküno with a purple cap

Today's ink: iroshizuku "murasaki" by Pilot

Today's weather: Utterly gorgeous. Someone's doing pattern work at the Boulder Municipal Airport and reminding me why I usually do my audiobook recording in the bedroom closet.

@lothcat Reminds me of the society in Ursula K. LeGuin's "Always Coming Home" who considered you poor if you had a lot of stuff, and rich if you did not, because the natural thing to do with a lot of stuff is give it away, It wasn't just that hoarding stuff earned you the reputation of being miserly and maybe a little wrong in the head, though it did - the hoarding was considered a symptom of actual poverty. I think I need to reread that book now.

@pjohanneson@mstdn.ca Yes, I had mentioned them already. NameCheap's DMCA abuse-reporting page says they cannot help if they do not host the infringing content, which is why I filed a report to CloudFlare and, when it turned out CF was just an anonymizing pass-through, trusted their reply that said they'd pass it on to the actual host, who was cloudwm.com. In any case, all the abuse reports and DMCA notices seem to have had the desired effect: the site has been taken down.

Day one of the two-day drive home is done. Am turning in for the night in a Sleep Inn by Choice Hotels (Jerome, ID). There's a note on the mirror that says that daily activity might help me sleep better, and the provided notepad by the telephone says "Write down your dreams!" So I guess it's on theme that I acquired a bedtime bottle of Shamrock Cookies 'n Cream Milk from the Pilot Flying J next door. (And that I already travel with a steno pad and light-up pen for early am dream-jotting.)

@bujold @ifixcoinops @Ongion We did in fact teach our cats to Shit In a Toilet, and that was pretty nice. Watching one of the cats scratching afterward at the toilet lid, we discussed teaching them the And Flush part, but then we thought about the utility bills ensuing from the feline brain going "Water go down the hole, wanna do it again!!!" and decided that we'd better just keep the win we already had.

After I bought this pen and a few purple cartridges to start with at Wolf & Wren in Longmont, I thought, "I need a bottle of purple ink that isn't a fine-nib-clogging shimmer ink" (Diamine "Lilac Satin" is gorgeous but, alas, incompatible with F and XF) and Two Hands Paperie had a whole bunch of iroshisuku colors on hand to choose between. The Kaküno is really nice too, a smooth writer with an easy start even after sitting a few days. Love that fine tip.

@NicoleJLeBoeuf@wandering.shop

Signal boost for an infuriating situation: There is a new flash fiction publisher, "Science Fiction Weekly," which purports to host late lamented Daily Science Fiction's archive of stories "with author consent"... ...I only just heard about them today. They have republished my story, "The Rarest of Prey," without contacting me, asking my permission, let alone paying me a token reprint fee. (cont'd)
