Unlike most other people in this thread, I don't actually have a huge problem with this, but I suppose it all depends on what you mean by "re-write." Did you take the fundamental structure and plot beats of the fic and execute them better? Or did you just borrow/steal/whatever the basic idea? There's a huge latitude here, and we don't have enough information to call the OP a horrible person.

In either case, though, I don't think there was any reason not to give a nod to the original writer. Seriously, this is fan fiction. They're not going to sue you, they're probably going to be flattered, and attention is the currency of fandom. So yeah, you should've credited the original writer.

Still, I don't understand the cries of plagiarism. Fanfiction is all about generating new versions of existing ideas, and this doesn't necessarily seem that problematic to me, though the devil is in the details.

This. Without reading both fics, we don't have a clue what they actually took and didn't take, nor how close the fics were. Same general idea? I could find you fifty fics that have werewolf!character!a finding their mate and the pack not liking it and drama! fighting! true love!with!knotting!sex!!

So, yeah.
