I forget the author's name; that was also attributed in the version I read.
Not excusing plagiarism here; I do not think it's okay at all from an ethical standpoint, nor do I think it makes good writing.
However, coming to the work years and years later with all the passages marked allowed me to be able to enjoy the story for the merits it does possess, if that makes sense. :) If I'd been in the fandom at the time and come upon (ahahahhahahahahh *ahem*) the story as she originally presented it, I think I would have very different feelings about the reading experience.
