    Hi there,

    In the same way that an abandoned story can be adopted by another user, is it possible to transfer ownership of a story to me if I originally wrote it on another website and different user posted it here as their own?

    Over on Writing.com, I wrote a story called "She Doesn't Know":
    http://www.writing.com/main/interact/item_id/1935374-She-doesnt-know-ENF

    You can see that the creation date is May 27th 2013.

    A user called EBTF then posted the story to CHYOA on September 30th 2013:
    https://chyoa.com/story/She-doesn't-know!.5494

    I'm not interested in getting the user banned or anything, I'd just like ownership of "She Doesn't Know!" transferred back to me if that's possible.

    Thanks,
    Anonegg.

    Hi Anonegg,

    This is absolutely no problem. I have transferred the story to you.

    Done :)

    I think your story was part of the "adopt a story program" in a previous version of CHYOA where only one user could be the owner or editor. Sorry for the inconveniences!
