Thanks for your perspectives, guys. You're entitled to your opinions and I did expect some pushback, as it unfortunately seems that every topic involving courtesy in fandom has become hotly contested on FS in recent years. I do find some of this pretty cynical toward a secret which simply said "Credit *would be nice* but I am not even asking for that, I just think it would be nice to leave a comment or thumbs up on something that inspires you." It's fair to be skeptical, I've shown you no proof of the writing side by side and I haven't named the fandom to demonstrate how distinct these ideas are. In my opinion it's also a bit silly to imply plagiarism in fandom is a rare thing that is so difficult to believe, but I recognize I don't get to make that call. For the record, I used terms like "characterization" and "descriptions" to keep the secret succinct as it was already getting long, but the fic in question has entire paragraphs and dialogue exchanges that are paraphrased from ones I've written describing distinct scenarios, not just universal things that exist in every fic. None of what I'm questioning the source of here is based directly on canon material, as I realize two or four or ninety people can have the same idea about the canon characters/plot. I'm not claiming I own anything. I'm not claiming I am owed anything. I'm not seeking a fight. I'm not trying to persecute anyone or seek retribution. I just wanted a place to vent about how the lack of even a simple kudos from a writer who clearly read my stories hurt my feelings a bit. Have a good one guys.
