Plagiarism in Torchwood Fandom

Recently, I got a review on a fanfiction I wrote in September. The reviewer said that my fic (which was part of a one-shot series) was plagiarized on deviantART.

My fic, which was written live over Google docs in front of a friend of mine (who beta read it), was published September 17th, 2011 on Fanfiction.net.

Hi, I'm Cam, I'll be the mod on this case. I've made screencaps in case the story gets pulled - have you made any contact with this deviantART user prior to making this report? I will be trying to get in touch with her, but it's helpful to know if any others have already contacted her/him about it.

I hadn't contacted the user, no. I originally was informed about the theft when I was on my way to Christmas with my family. I completely forgot about it until the nice reviewer who let me know sent me a pm last week.

Just an interested bystander, but fyi, the dA account referenced above is showing as deactivated.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Here's the code for an LJ cut:

Just take out the stars.

Re the LJ Cut.

Just type what you want, pictures and all, then somewhere near the beginning of all your typing, insert the LJ Cut and whatever words you want between the quotation marks.

Don't worry if, when you Preview your post, you don't see the LJ Cut itself. It doesn't always show until you actually post. On mine for instance, there is a wide space, where the LJ Cut will appear. :o)

Here's a Link to FAQ #75

The DA account has been deactivated. I guess that's a win.
