So, my buddy Karen emails me to tell me someone totally stole the first chapter of my fic Bad Medicine.  At first I thought it was maybe just similar, but as I got further into the chapter, I was like OMFG, she totally did!

I'm sort of flattered that she liked it enough to steal it, but on the other hand I'm kind of freaked.  I haven't contacted the author (or anyone else) because it's fanfiction and doesn't really belong to me anyway, right?  I mean, in an ethical sense it does, obviously.

Has anyone else encountered this?

LInkage for the curious:

My fic - Bad Medicine

Her fic - Relating to a Psychopath
