⚠️ 6 Fanfiction Platform Gotchas to Watch For

• Derivative Work Liability: HIGH Platform may disclaim all responsibility for copyright claims. You're on your own if IP holders come after your fic
• Commercial Licensing Rights: HIGH Some platforms claim rights to commercialize your work. Your fanfic could become a paid anthology—without your cut
• DMCA Takedown Without Warning: MEDIUM IP holders send takedowns, platform removes immediately. Years of work gone with one complaint—no appeal process
• Original Content Buried: MEDIUM Post original fiction on fanfic sites? Platform may claim same broad license. Your original novel treated like derivative work
• AI Training on Fan Works: HIGH Your writing style and creative output may train AI models. Characters and storylines you developed feeding their algorithm
• Content Restrictions on Mature Work: MEDIUM Explicit content rules change without notice. Platform may delete mature-rated fics or lock them behind verification walls
