It should go without saying, but you may not turn Shivery into a Twilight fanfic

Hi. Thanks for coming. A nice person whose name I don't think I can mention (I don't want her to get harassed) let me know that someone in the Twilight fandom is in the process of stealing my story Shivery and making it into a Twilight fic.

I wrote Shivery over a period of two years. As far as fanfics go, it has a plot. It has lots of original characters thought up by me. There are attempts at literary references. There is research and whatnot.

While the person doing this has accused me of plagiarizing my own story that I posted five years before she even showed up, I am more than capable of describing how the story came to be, and how I thought up the stuff that's in it, as well as providing eleventy million pages of rough draft and the sworn testimony of beta readers. (None of which I am going to be doing because of the aforementioned space/time continuum trump card - which I don't think I even need, because for the love of God, could this situation get any stupider???)

So basically what I'm asking of you is that you knock on this door and take a gander and see for yourself. And when you've confirmed to your satisfaction that this story is exactly the same as this story please leave her a polite comment saying, This is not your story.
And then make an abuse report.

If you could see your way clear to doing that it would be awesome.

Thanks for reading.
