I really, really, really hate to do this incase I'm stupidly wrong, but are you aware of this story here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9284818/6/Through-the-Eyes-of-a-Child ?

Cos it's quite similar to yours and I'd hate for them to be plaigerising you.

Bless you, Anon. It is indeed suspiciously similar (though I'm gratified to see, not quite as good). ;) They even stole verbatim lines and everything.

If it's not too much to ask, I'd really appreciate it if you could report this: I just sent fanfiction.net a note myself, but the more people who point out the plagiarism, the better.

Either way, many, many million thanks again...it's so lovely to know that other fans have got your back when you nervously put your (raw, uncopyrighted) stories out there into the world. :)

Q, the very grateful animal

Consider it done. I hope it gets sorted.

And yes, I also was happy to notice it wasn't as good as yours ;)

Another person here who has reported the other story. I was wondering if you've heard of Stop_Plagiarism? They should be able to help you with this and a lot more people would help you get those complaints in.

Thank you very much for reporting! :)

I did see the stop_plagiarism group mentioned on the sherlock_rant page, so I made a rather detailed post and submitted it to them...hopefully they'll be able to look it over and take some action soon. Many thanks for the heads up!
