It's an awesome thing to behold. I've never understood the motivations of a plagiarist, especially one in the fanfiction community. Praise and good reviews are the currency in that arena. To get these for stolen words is like getting paid in counterfeit bills. Where's the satisfaction in that? I'm sorry this happened to you, Bettie but thrilled it worked out in the end. Oh, and I see you're in the Agony/Ecstasy anthology. That anthology held no interest for me until I saw your name in it. Looks like I have a purchase in the near future.

That kind of community response is why it is good to educate people about plagiarism. So sorry to hear this happened to you, but glad it turned out well.
