Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is fiction.us legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns fiction.us?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for fiction.us. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
Correct a description, link or other detail. Submissions are reviewed before publication.

Public domain novels, short stories, screenplays and English books in HTML format
We withhold an authority number until independent evidence (global rank, link-graph presence) has accrued. The facts we do have about this site are shown below — we'd rather say “not enough signals yet” than invent a low score.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 51 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 51 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
