Moral of the story: you can't copyright your fanfiction. When some one "plagiarizes" your fic, it's rude but it's not illegal. Remember, friends, we don't even own the sandbox we're playing in. Fanfiction is illegal in the first place.
Also, feel free to use this post to discuss the amusing popularity of authors pulling their fics to get them "published." A topic always worth some giggles and high blood pressure.
