Wow. Should I feel slighted, because nobody's ever plagiarized me? ;)

I really need a Middleman icon with his 'there's no negotiating with plagiarists!' quote.

I can't believe she stole from me! It does feel a bit like a milestone though. LOL

LOL! You should feel very proud!! I'm quite envious! Mind you, if someone did/has plagiarized me then I'd never know as I barely recognize half of my own stories as being written by ME!

See, this is the thing. If friendshipper hadn't googled lines from the story (and I can't believe my crap is goggleable), I might not have even recognized it had I read it. If it had pinged, I probably would have thought someone else wrote it! LOL

Exactly!! I've had reason to re-read older stories of mine and certain turns of phrase I simply don't recognize at all--kind of stun myself! I guess it doesn't help that most of my stories are 'brain dumps' where the words simply dribble onto the page and are then...forgotten?!

Well, my entire life has turned into a brain dump. I can't remember much of anything I did yesterday, let alone four years ago. ;-)
