Being plagiarized on ff.net for the second time...
I wish I'd known of this comm the first time this person did this. They only stole part of a sentence this time, but the last time they did this to me they stole whole passages and then gave me a sob story excuse for how it happened. I'm sorry I didn't save it, but this time I screencapped the stolen piece. It's small, but obvious and the reviews are indicative that people are recognizing it as from my work.
My fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5065528/1/Faith_in_the_Horizon (on ff.net.)
The author page of the thief: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1890971/BrokenFlames
"HER" fic: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5290735/1/Ill_Make_A_Man_Out_Of_You
Hers:
A cap of mine on ff.net that shows the date and the sentence she stole for comparison.
For further explanation, my fic was written around the Transformers Animated episode "Five Servos of Doom" and was meant to fill in the spaces between the flashbacks. Hence dialogue from the show appearing.
EDIT: I left a comment in response to a mod who posted, but since there's been little activity, I thought I'd post my response with all the evidence I uncovered.
I was trying to submit again (since you can't edit while it's waiting) and I have a TON of evidence I dug up. I had to figure out the trick for screencapping large areas of text.
Here's everything you need.

A screengrab off a forum where I'd c/p'ed stolen passages from the FIRST incident of this and pasted them next to parts of my work to make sure my friends knew what was going on. I was unaware at the time that I should have capped her work from ff.net, but I also thought it would be a one-time incident. Here is the cap:

Her response just before disabling PM's (my PM is visible):
Here she claims she has never read the fic she so blatantly plagiarized.

I've also included a cap of reviews that show the general public recognizes the writing.

And there is also this curious PM I paid no mind to way early on before all this. They were complimenting my work. I'm not sure if it's useful, but I passed it on anyway. (please forgive the shoddy screencapping on this one, but you can read it.)
