Harry Potter Fanart Theft

[unamaga]

Hey, flist. Can we talk?

'Cause, see, after yesterday's glorious Dumbledore announcement, I went surfing on google to relive the olden days. I found some of my favorite artists and fic writers all over again, gleefully cackled at all the crack. Thems were good times. And then I saw this link to a website with a fairly innocuous name that I didn't recognize. When I clicked, it came up as this site that was all about Harry Potter Hentai. I lol'd.

And then everything started to look a little bit too familiar.

ORIGINAL: "Woman Eater" by duckpuppy - now defunct because her livejournal pics were deleted with her journal - based off of this story by switchknife back in 2004. I can't find a full link, because I have no idea where the former duckpuppy's gone these days, but I think the story kind of speaks for itself in that manner.

ORIGINALS: "Ginny/Hermione, Parvarti/Padma" and "Ginny/Hermione, Bellatrix/Narcissa" by sherant, both for pornish_pixies, the second one's recipient being mytilene.

ORIGINAL: When Push Comes to Shove by ponderosa121 for the pornish_pixies fantasy fest, recipient luna_k. The post's since been deleted because of ponderosa's suspension, and her website is down for upgrading, so I can't find a link to the full picture, but luna_k describes it pretty accurately as: "Ginny/Luna, dubious consent, an uncomfortably large strap-on, and a hairbrush used in an interesting way."

ETA: New pic found.
ORIGINAL: Ginny/Cho by ponderosa121, as seen on the fanlisting for adult Harry Potter fanfiction.

For all I know, some of the others might be stolen as well. I didn't recognize any, but I also haven't been in Harry Potter fandom for a few years now.

My first thought when I found this was to try and contact someone who would know how to go about dealing with all of this, but - well, I know livejournal isn't sending me my comments. Then, I poked around and found art_theft. I'm trying to become a member so I can post all of this there, but it's slow going, and who knows if I'll even get the email telling me I've been accepted. I haven't received friend notifications all day.

So, what I need you to do, beloved flist, is going over to this site or this site and see if there's anything else you maybe recognize. If there's not, but you know how to get in touch with duckpuppy or ponderosa121, that's great too, because god knows my googlefu failed me on the duckpuppy front. And, finally, if you're already a member of art_theft, would you be willing to post this info there for me?

I think this is a bit urgent only because the people at that site are (trying to) making money off this, which is just. Insane. And bad. Bad, bad, bad! Copyright laws level of bad! Any help you guys can give would be really appreciated. I'm off to email sherant now.
