Because some people think plagiarism is not a crime

I just found out my fanfic "The Fallen Angel" was plagiarized by an author here in Asianfanfics. Not exactly the same like it was copied word by word, but I know for myself that my work was stolen. I never worked so hard for TFA just to be stolen and put into another profile and the jerk gets all the credits. Do you think that by changing the characters would make it any different? N to the ing O. I'm not gonna go ballistic on her face and will just report her then make all my fanfics private, only to be seen by friends. 

You may think I'm being childish here but here's an idea: try working your frikken off til late at night planning and creating your own work of art but everything gets copied and that thief gets all the praise. You don't feel fine with that. You just don't. 

I know I'm not the best writer here but every writer's idea is the root of everything you are hyperventilating about and I believe even my piece of junk should be respected. I hope everyone gets a lesson here. 

For now I will not let anyone view my stories unless he/she's my friend. This isn't over yet anyway.

I don't think anyone really can complain about what you're doing. If they do, they should see it from the viewpoint of an author. I would be honored if someone was INSPIRED by my work, but to take it word for word would kill me. I may not be a good author, but at least I try to convey my words as best as I can. How would they feel if someone did the same to them?

Oh! I wonder who it is? 0.o man, I haven't found someone plagiarizing here before. Although I haven't gone through this kind of problem but I feel you. I understand how much effort and passion you've put into your story. As a writer we love every bits and pieces of our story so it's understandable that you're angry about it. Nothing childish bout it. I hope that person will realize what a terrible crime she/he had done!
