That's the point: there was no agreement, no communication; I'd never heard of the site until I stumbled across it looking for new stories to read and found my own there without my name on it. I'm thinking of sending them a bill. Since they've already used my work without deigning to negotiate a fee with me, my 'standard fee' must be acceptable to them, right? (Though something tells me that having an ocean between me and them might make them feel less compelled to pay up.)
Ah, I didn't understand that. Then you should go to the free legal aid to get help drafting a cease-and-desist letter. In the meantime, you should write the webmaster (and the web host if you can find him) and state in no uncertain terms that they do not have permission to post your story.
