Possible fic hijacking?

I am in need of peoples help.

Any of you guys read the Stockholm Verse of fanfiction? Where Autobots lost the war and become servants to the Decepticons on Cybertron.

I cannot remember the Author, I love the fic series though. If you remember who they are, please tell me.

I THOUGHT i'd come across the next chapter on DA the other day, but then I realised a few details weren't cannonical to the story arc as it is.

I don't know if this other fic is deliberately ripping off the Stockholm Verse without giving any credit or is flukingly similar. I'm going to ask, but I want to know who wrote the original first.

I'm probably just getting hung up on something stupid, but then fic ripping is like pic ripping. It's dumb, and people think no one will notice.

I've found more than one fic that's ripped my own plots straight up, and it irritates me that the sub-par writers can't even credit their inspiration, it's not going to reflect badly on you to do so y'know. Just because you admit it's not your idea but you like playing with it, it doesn't make you a lesser writer, so just give credit where it's due.
