If Mimicry is the Highest Form of Flattery...
Well, I guess I'm going to have to friends-lock my fics now. This is stupid.
I really don't mind people reposting my work, or translating it, as long as credit is given where credit is due and I know about it. I really don't appreciate people stealing my work and claiming it as their own, not even making a real effort to change it from the original. If my work inspires you to write something, that's awesome! Cool! Great! You don't have to say where your inspiration's from or anything, but it would be nice if it wasn't the same plotline with altered characters and slightly different details.
...I'm so mad!

I'm sure my work has been plagiarized elsewhere but the fact that I actually found this makes me upset because it means that other people can easily find and read this fic and think the ideas belong to this other author. I'm insulted, not flattered.
