Word. I can only suspect that youth, thoughtlessness and entitlement conspire in these cases.
I also entirely fail to understand the motive behind this kind of plagiarism. If you copy someone else's fic, how can the feedback you receive for it give you any glow of accomplishment whatsoever?
That said, I'm sorry someone was thoughtless enough to try it with your work and I'm glad the piece was taken down.
Thank you. :-) I'm glad too - it really wasn't a big deal, all told, but it did feel peculiar.
