WTF is Talkfictions.com?

[Shirotsume]

So I randomly realized that for whatever reason my favorite fic link linked to Vermillion on 'talkfictions.com'

This was worrying for two reasons: one, I linked to the ffn version of vermillion, not whatever the fuck this 'talkfictions' was... but even more confusing is that talkfictions seems to be a straight rip of ffn from a few months ago?

What is going on here.

Isn't it just a parasitic mirror of ffnet that's after ad revenue?

The fuuuuuuuck?


So basically most manga sites compared to bato.to?

At any rate it appears to be gone now. Weird.

Well, apparently talkfiction.com has copies of all my published works. Guess I'll try to contact the site's admins and have them removed.

 

[Shirotsume]

I dunno, but I manually changed mine back to ffn and it seems to be staying there... check your favorites, I guess.

Seems to be an Ad rip,
Ad blocker isn't working and neither are my scripts.
Xing might be tooling around but I doubt it.

What's kind of ironic in a sad way is they could probably make more money if they actually added FUNCTIONALITY to their websites. I don't think FFN has had a real update in a decade, and their 'updates' as they are now basically only serve to break functionality, plus they seem to hunt down scene dividers in documents better than a Predator is at hunting down humans not named Arnold.

I was hoping it at least had some deleted stories so I could get last copies,but it didn't even have that.
