Oh, Gawd. I'm equally appalled and entertained by this Bleach plagiarism reveal. I haven't even had time to read the new chapter yet. Just sent off my polite and concerned email to Radical Comics.
As to your experience.... *head desk* *head desk* *head desk* At least she had the decency to ask you? (D'oh!).
Blatant plagiarism hasn't happened to me yet although my first Sess/Rin story had several scenes lifted and then rewritten into another popular SessRin fic. :P The writer of the latter was a fan of mine on ff.net, but I never called her out on it... It was rewritten enough that I would have had to work to show how line for line of dialogue had been subtly altered but sequentially copied. And I don't like work. XD Someone translated one of my fics into Vietnamese once without asking me (I found it about a year later through Googling my name) but they did give me full credit and I was so damn flattered to be translated that I ended up posting a gracious thank you comment. :D
