If anything, it would be the Hentai Foundry member who would have either posted there under another name, which is not likely looking at both profiles, or it was the HF member who plagiarized the AFF member. The AFF member posted the story in 2011, whereas the HF member did not post it until 2013. We always appreciate vigilant readers. However, this does not appear to be an instance of an AFF member committing plagiarism. I will, however, reach out to our member and alert them to the post on HF, should our member wish to pursue it with HF.

We do not permit any mention of Patreon accounts, or allow authors to solicit Patreon contributions on AFF. Fan fiction exists in a grey area of the Fair Use provisions of copyright law, and one of the requirements is that the author makes no money from material copyrighted by someone else. Should the owner of the copyright choose to do so, the author could be sued for monetary damages, and the site would be required to at the very least remove the author and all works, or could be served with a cease and desist order preventing ANY fan fiction involving that copyrighted material entirely, or could be sued along with the author for copyright violation. You can read the relevant discussion of fair use here: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter9/9-a.html So, while we all want to support authors, we cannot allow any Patreon or other funding sites to be mentioned here, or for authors to offer to write fan fiction for commissions.
