I am aware that there is a person plagiarising Stephen King's stories on a website and claiming them as their own. Unfortunately you cannot report that the work is plagiarized unless you are the author who's work is being claimed by someone else so I was wondering if anyone could help me with how to resolve this and I think this is highly unfair and downright wrong

Welcome to the Board!

Either include the link here or send it to me privately (Conversation) and I will follow up.

I actually think it has been taken down. I'm not sure but I know they are planning on doing the shining and are already plagiarising Stephanie Meyers work. This is a link to the profile as I have the writer muted and I don't know if that affects what stories of theirs I can see

If you get in contact with them I would like to remain anonymous through all of this, please
