Brought to my attention...
14/4/15 15:12ETA: I just checked the site again and it looks like my stories have been removed. I ran a couple of other names through the search engine and didn't see their stories either. Let me know if you want to know if I ran your name through or if you want me to check your name.
The bots are at it again. Seems like they are attacking AO3 for the most part (and the site I believe is aware of it), but they are taking stories (and not even whole series if what they took of mine is any indication). The whole information is here and also the directions on how to request that they be removed. I have already found and requested mine be taken down, but they've apparently been there for a while because one of mine has 41 comments (not that I could read them).
All the directions are there and I'll repeat them here, send an email to them with this information:
Your Name and/or Pseudonym as an e-signature (or the name of the person you’ve authorized to submit this request, with a slash before it and after it):
Link(s) to the unauthorized works (link to the pdf, the mobi and the page hosting all of it):
Link(s) to an authorized version of your work (whether on AO3, tumblr, LJ or somewhere else):
An email address of the submitter (include it again even if it’s in the header):
This statement: I have good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
This statement: The information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Good luck!
ETA: AO3 is aware of the issue and is working from their end.
