Heyo! I know I don't post a lot and I'm very inactive but I have a PSA
In Short, this website Teenfic.net is taking our stories from wattpad and posting them only giving little to know credit
Even if your story is marked 'All Rights Reserved' your stories are probably still up there
Below is a petition made by some fellow Watpaders to shut down the site or even confront the owner.

Announcements from petition:
Listen up, Wattpaders!
teenfic.net is using ALL of our stories for THEIR site.
Illegally.
Don't believe me?
Search up your Wattpad username.
You should see your stories there.
If you put "all rights reserved" for the stuff, then they're not allowed to take your story and put it in their website.
If the owner of the site did not contact you and you didn't allow anyone to take your story and let it be published in another website, then what they're doing is illegal.
Sure, you may be happy that your story's more popular and it's being spread around.
Well, guess what?
YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANYTHING IN THAT SITE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
ANYONE CAN COPY AND PASTE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK AND MAKE IT THEIRS.
I tried it (with one of my own stories), and unfortunately, Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V worked.
If we don't shut this site down (or at least confront the owner of the site), then it's only gonna get worse.
Please, share this petition to any Wattpader.
We need to stop this.

"DO NOT GO ON THE WEBSITE teenfic.net IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY
Apparently, it can give your devices viruses and bugs if you don't have any security
Please be careful!
Try avoiding the website at all costs!"
I got this message from one of the people that I follow on Wattpad.
Don't go on teenfic.net.
