Plagiarism

I wasn't expecting to need to have to make a blog post about this, but the person in question has been refusing to respond to me and deleting others who have tried to talk about the issue. 

One recently subscribed reader to Lab Coats and Bank Notes was found to be plagiarizing this story word-for-word. Not only did they do this, but the reader advertised the story on other people's walls. I unfortunately will not be updating this story until the reader takes down the story and apologizes. I have spent hours shaping this story, and I don't like how someone else is claiming it to be their own. I think to one person, they even said that I had allowed or given permission to make their own rendition of the fic, and that's is not true. They later deleted the comment. 

And at least if the reader is going to re-type my chapters and take my story, please use the correct grammar. I read through the chapters and I'm increasingly irritated by the mispellings and incorrect grammar. I have screenshot evidence that the reader is subscribed to my story, has the exact same words and plot, and that the reader has deleted several comments calling him/her out on the plagiarism. 

Thank you to the person who alerted me of the issue, thank you. I am really grateful and I hope this issue will be resolved soon. 

Update: It appears that their posting of the story was taken down, so the user put up another one. I am very frustrated at the moment, especially because at the end of the forward, they wrote that I had given permission for them to put it up.

Oh god, I keep on reading about all these plagiarising issues lately and honestly, I can understand why you're so frustrated. Could you give me the link or something, so I can report it? I think even the account should be reported or something, if that's possible. :|
I'm pretty new to aff but I think you can talk to the admin about these issues? Anyways, let me know if you need help in any way I can provide.
